How can you possibly love
someone you don't really know?
The only time you've seen
eachother's faces was
Being on video call and
sending cute selfies
The only things you've shared
being childhood trauma
and a passion for fanfiction
How could such futile things
On such a tiny screen
Lead to such horrible,
All-consuming
Untamed
Brooding love?
The answer is simple
You've looked far and wide,
high and low,
for someone who'd see you
for who you are
Now you've found it,
The perfect person
But you only know
Their discord username
And what state they live in
Its a gnawing feeling,
this kind of love
The kind that makes you
Stare out of windows and
watch the sunset
In hopes that they are looking
At the same sun as you
The kind that makes you
Lie awake at night, begging
For just one wish to come true
For you to stumble upon them one day,
maybe in a store or convention
Or on a vacation
The kind that fills you
With this indescribable void
Of wanting to be held
But not knowing what their arms
feel like around you,
Of wanting to be kissed
By lips you've only seen
on pixels,
Of wanting to experience them
Like you have done it before
