as his words appear
she sits back and dreams his sins
smile upon her face
screen glow in his eyes
fingers resting on the keys
smile upon his face
they read words just sent
both aware of distant sighs
their hearts' twin echoes
-----
oh so young you seem
yet an older woman shows
in the words you write
a woman wise in pain
who's been led astray too much
still believes in love
so she risks her heart
gasps at soothing words that fall
upon still open wounds
-----
don't care who came before
hope that you were treated well
on your way to being mine
-----
it's lonely out here
waiting for you to appear
high point of my day
-----
sips mystery brew
wearing her zodiac socks
reads new temptations
