21st Century Romance

The thing about facebook is
I can be all omg haha me too!
let’s get together
when r u in town?
while salty tears puddle on my bed spread.

The thing about e-mail is
I can perfect my punctuation
cross my “t”s and dot my “i”s
without you seeing how many times
I typed
I still love you love you love you love you
love you love you still.

The thing about texting is
an emoticon
goes a long way
to hide a
short, silent sob
ellipses exclamation point.

The thing about your letters is
they tell stories that
aren’t true
not any more
not forever and
not always
not most and
not best
not any more
not to be continued
not the beginning
not together
not as we grow older
not one day when
not any more
not fair.
