Electric Chat

      Where do our inhibitons go?
      We sit here
      Line after line
      Watching them scroll off the screen
      And we talk about what we would never say.
      I look at you somewhere in my mind
      And I see what you are to me
      Rather than your form,
      I imagine your beauty
      Knowing we'll never meet,
      Knowing we'll never touch,
      And I wonder
      Where we would be if we could touch,
      If we were face to face.
      Would you be in my arms,
      My bed,
      In my car going to some secret place?
      The lines scroll up as I catch your last message
      Before it goes away forever
      And I wonder how we could be so bold.

      Where do our inhibitions go?
