I've been off in a cyber world for a while,
It's probably time to go back to reality.
It's become a bit hostile,
I'm needing more stability.

Sometimes one needs to run away,
To think and get their head together.
Chatting away nights and days,
This could never really be forever.

I have opened my heart,
It's really a roller coaster ride,
I'm needing a fresh start,
I really have too much pride.

Typing thoughts to each other,
Can't see their expressions.
You're each other's cyber lover,
Too many unanswered questions.

If you type the wrong things,
People's feelings get hurt.
It started out as a cyber fling,
Then the words change and get curt.

Apologies are said, but is it enough?
You continue to be happy for a while.
Fighting with fear of a break-up,
Is it really worthwhile?

I'm married and can only do this,
I can't meet or give any more.
Do we continue or do we quit?
Not sure I want to do this anymore.

It's very complicated, but I'm a wife,
These relationships take lots of time.
I have a family and a real life,
This emotional affair is sublime.

I guess it will eventually end,
Will go our separate ways.
You're my lover and my friend,
You brighten my nights and days.

I try to make everything real,
It's wonderful; when it's okay.
It's not the real deal,
There's really nothing more to say.

I love you so much,
But, this isn't in the cards.
I'll never feel your loving touch,
I have loved you in every regard.
