Words on a screen are what brought us together,
Words on a screen that we said to each other.
Words on a screen, though not what we are made of,
Words on a screen wove the first threads of our love.
Words on a screen that marked each new event,
Words on a screen that to our walls we sent.
Words on a screen, words of yours and mine,
Words on a screen, upon the line of time.
Words on a screen, without thought I did erase,
Words on a screen, gone from the book of face.
Words on a screen, though I took them all apart,
Words on a screen, stay forever in my heart.
Words on a screen, though it was wrong of me,
Words on a screen, I hope that you still see:
Words on a screen, here poetry and prose,
Words on a screen, the best of mine are yours.
(And I Feel Fine)
