Love Is Love

It's very strange, when suddenly, your heart will realize,
It has been taken by someone with words before your eyes.
It is so strange to fall in love while starring at a screen,
With someone who is miles away that you have never seen.

You read about it in the news and see it on TV,
About an online love affair as real as it could be.
A couple fell in love online and one day finally meet.
The love was real for both of them and now they are complete.

You think this couldn't happen, because it is all a game.
The people that you read about already were insane.
To meet a perfect stranger may be asking way too much.
The people who set up these dates have gone completely nuts.

You don't know who you're talking to, and can they be sincere?
And if you've never seen someone, how can they really care?
So then you play your silly games, while trying to have fun,
And if someone seems serious you click your mouse and run.

Nobody can convince you that relationships can brew.
It's just a game that people play, because it's something new.
You talk to people everywhere as if the world is right.
Then, when your tired of talking, you just click them off at night.

But, one day you will meet someone, as strange as it may seem,
And they will make you feel as tho you're living in a dream.
You will feel emotions until now were undisturbed,
And as they type upon your screen you'll hang on every word.

You'll not understand it, how this person makes you feel,
But emotions that you're feeling suddenly are real.
You will feel emotions and you'll think that it's insane.
How could words upon a screen cause happiness and pain?

When you realize the words are from a person's heart,
Then you understand, within your life they have a part.
Relationships online is something you think you're above,
But deep within your heart you know you're falling deep in love.

Love is love, no matter what the world will try to say.
What difference does it matter how the love has come your way?
True love is so precious and it is so rare to find.
How can you doubt some people find true love when they're online?

It may be hard to understand how you can love someone,
When all you wanted was to go online to have some fun.
You may think relationships online may not be smart,
But I have met some people that I love with all my heart!
