A Poem about Mistakes

Day and night I think of you

It was everything; it feels so real

You're special from the day I saw you

We chatted all day long and on

Wishing that we'd be together soon

One day you called my phone

I heard your voice, I fall for you more

I want your kisses and hugs

Draw you near into my arms

Be as one till we fall asleep deeply

Our love was pure thru chats and calls

Then you video chat, I fall for you more

I've begun to think going home

Filed my leave at work, excited to see you

But I can't wait so I resign and AWOL

The day has come and I went hometown

We decided to meet in the near city 

I glance at her face she looks different

Between her pictures online and personal

I feel disappointed I don't know why?

So I ask myself is it love or flirtation

Pictures are deceiving on social media sites

Now I am unsure if what I've done is right

For the one I've fallen in love is just someone,

Online who uses apps to be someone

But my heart beats for her all the time

I miss her when she's not chatting 

Loving her in person is another story 

Things are really odd online and offline

I wonder if this is just a mistaken love.
