Bobbi's response

Chatting online
making new friends,
seeing who is speaking and who's quietly sitting,
watching the screen
and not saying anything.
I'm waiting an opportunity
for something to say
anything
to be breaking the ice, they say
nervous
and scared
I type in a word
and wait a reply,
and nothing happens, not even a sigh
should I stay or should I go
or just give it a try
stay a little longer
something may go
I look up and down the names on the side
read some profiles
they make me smile
mostly gay women some who are bi
some who are men trying to get by
I type in some and make it a crack
some laugh most not
but at least its a start
I fill in my profile with not much to say
then can't work out if it's public or not
so asking silly questions gets a reply
and new friendships have started
these are online
I talk and i chat
nothing to smart
and people message me
seems they like what they see
I come back again, and again, and again
seeing familiar names on the screen
some just sit without a word
I look in wonder about these strange birds
there is one I do like but can not approach
so out of my league and popular too
she is liked by many and doesn't say much
and people respond whenever she does
She says hello after a week or so and we chat
and chat in private now you know
nothing salacious but breaking the ice
she is some how different to others I know
Not sure how but we chat on and on
late in the night as its day over there
finding out she's in America and I'm over here
we talk and we find
a friendship so fine
getting closer and closer with each line
we say silly things and laugh out loud
we hug and we kiss
here online.
I'm locked inside a house for two weeks
making sure i am safe
away from disease
she knows me so well after just a few weeks
and I know her feelings, oh so well
we share our history both good and bad
until we hold hands,
she sees inside of my soul alright
She soothes me and holds me close to her heart
and tells me she loves me, right from the start
two aging old women finding love online
not teenagers or millennials
more hippies from the past,
so this is how Sandy and Bobbi came to be as we are
writing of love on websites
so far.
