We Met Online

We met online
  Neither of us really looking
We became instant friends
  Neither expecting more

We talked via chat
  You didn't have a phone
At work
  We kept each other company

My heart grew fond
  As did yours
Wand when you got a phone
  You stole my affections

We shared a lot
  About our pasts
And even more
  About our current

Days felt long
  When we didn't talk
But you made it up
  By staying up with me

You made me laugh
  With your silly jokes
You made my life
  Seem that much brighter

And when we talked about
  Meeting face-to-face
My heart would run around
  My mind would race

The fear of being alone
  Was pushed aside
For the first time
  I felt I had a chance

"I have commitment issues"
  You would say again and again
"I've been hurt by every other woman"
  Not realizing I was different

I should have known
  I had no chance
From the moment
  You started making excuses
