I’ve never heard your voice nor seen
Your face or felt your touch but yet
I feel I know you better than
I know my sister or my brother.
Perhaps because we are so far
Apart the normal rules don’t hold:
We can relax and be ourselves —
No need to raise the usual
Defensive barriers and fences.
Instead we share our inner thoughts
As though confiding to a diary.
If either one is feeling blue
There’ll be no lack of sympathy.
We know each other’s tastes and sense
Of humour: you may not hear me laugh
Nor see me smile but yet I do,
It’s great to share a joke and have
A laugh, but best of all I like
To pass the time in friendly chat
With you. It cheers me up no end.
Oh yes! I recommend
A cyber friend.
