We talk to people online
opening up about our lives
hopefully they share theirs too
But honestly, what do we know?

Sharing stories, pictures, photos
Of our interests, hopes dreams
and possibly our family
But honestly, what do we know?

We might grow close
feeling like we share a bond
of friendship possibly love
But honestly, what do we know?

We may talk all the time
either on the phone or video chat
or sending messages constantly
But honestly, what do we know?

I guess that comes down to nature
the motivation or objective
of all parties involved
But what do we know?

Are they here to meet new and interesting people
to maybe become long time friends.
Maybe gain self confidence
Or practice pick up lines
But honestly, what do we know?

What we know is us
How we feel
what our motivations are 
Why we are here
Are the only things in our control.

So the best advice is
always listen well and be careful
and follow your instincts..

Because if someone seems to good to be true
they probably are...
