John Anderson - loss

I didn't know what I was doing
I caught her off guard
She emailed back, we traded thoughts
Taking our keyboards and monitors to a new land
And lives began to open
Deeper into our minds we went
Bathed in memories and futures
Trading dreams and goals
Whispering wants and needs
Then realizing they don't matter
Love is second to responsibilities
