Midnight Chat

sheltered in darkness with only the glow of a monitor's face and a lonely soul undesperately lonesome with a smile for two sitting at the keyboard just waiting... but for who? rarely was i joined by the joy of a bell and the flash of a window; just a solitary hell so i sit and wait and wait and pray and hope that someone will make my day but i really just sit and blankly stare at the names of the people who are and aren't there and i listen to ballads of romance and love and, in darkness, alone i stand up and dance and then one day a bell and flash on the screen ---------------- i was quite happy but who could it be? a friend of a friend who came upon me we started to talk quite casually and on we talked about nothing much family & friends school & such but much time had passed and the night grew quite long and then it was time for our talk to be done we said our goodnights in the cover of moon saying only "goodbye, hope to talk to you soon"
