Love Letters on Facebook

love letters on facebook are just not the same

many years later you'll search not in vain

for pieces of paper all crumpled and spent

to remind you of lovers that all came and went

now its all passwords and clicking on keys

how can there be any mystery while we scroll through our LED histories?

what's happened to pondering, to stories absorbed

where is the space in this illuminated world?

space to leave letters under dark beds

or maybe deep recesses in the back of our heads

space to understand a beginning and an end

space to let go of a magic weekend

space to know what's gone is gone,

when to shove that box away,when its time to move on...
