For years about you I have known
Though we never really spoke
Somewhat aloof you seemed to me
But my thoughts you did provoke
–
I’d see you in a chat room there
With others interacting
And thought about this Lady Fair
I found so quite attracting
–
“Alas”, I thought, “no chance I’ll have
Of knowing her more deeply
Fascinating though she is
I’m invisible, completely”
–
Our separate paths along we went
Through months and years ongoing
No reason found to interplay
Or special interest showing
–
Then chance or fate, I know not which
In a forum we began
Casting rhymes with building heat
But clearly with no plan
–
No plan but fun upon our minds
Though that began to change
Soon those rhymes took deeper tone
With every interchange
–
Some other forums saw us spar
But soon began to note
That deeper tone was now quite strong
With every thing we wrote
–
Then at last a touch was given
And received with gratitude
Words poured forth in private talk
(Some quite unsubdued)
–
Connection quivered ‘twixt us then
As more and more we learned
Growing with each passing day
Its presence can’t be spurned
–
To where this shining path will lead
We have no crystal ball
But the Lady Fair of whom I spoke
Now has me at her call
–
St Valentine’s Day is so close now
I ask you, Paige most Fair
My Valentine will you be?
For you’re beyond compare
