Internet Friends

I'm not afraid of dying
At least I hope I'm not
Our conversations had me thinking
Maybe there's a God
It's existential, influential
It kind of fucked me up
When we played 'we're not really strangers'
I felt you open up

And in another life
Perhaps we'd be acquainted
We'd go down to the water
We might have even dated
We'd head down to a coffee shop
To one we'd never been
And I'd order a juice and say
I never liked caffeine

I had a dream I kissed you
how could I ever miss you?
We never met and you're so far away
I can't interpret how I feel
Oh how will I attempt to heal
When life moves on and you're not part of mine?

I find it all to easy
To spend time reminiscing
About a life I never had
Although I have been wishing
And if I'm being honest
I feel a poignant closeness
To somebody I've never met
But it's feigned, a phantom wholeness

And when it's all forgotten
The year time stopped existing
I'd like to think we kept in touch
As our lives started shifting
And maybe every now and then
We'd stop and we'd remember
The bonds shared on the internet
We swore they'd last forever
We swore they'd last forever
We swore they'd last forever
We swore they'd last forever
We swore they'd last forever
