I wake up
with a cup
of caffeine,
and I’m greeted
by a beautiful
boot up screen.

There is a message online
from the one that I find
has stimulated my mind.

We talk for the day.
What a wonderful way
to create a new
relationship.

I move out to move in
as we become
more than just friends.

Time marches on
as old friends pass on,
but the hope that
I hold is not gone.

She becomes my wife ‘
at this late stage in life.
And though I am shocked
the new gift that I get
is a baby girl.

Later in life
my wife dies,
and my little girl goes
and grows up
to moves away.

She makes a family
of her own,
gets her own home,
and visits me
a couple times a year.

But then I wake up
and realize
that my wonderful life
was a bunch of lies.

It was just a dream.
