a love uncertain

we get in touch,
through fiber optics
of infinite space..

we hear each other's laughter,
feel each other's sadness
through vast distance..

but you never knew me..
even though our souls unite,
everytime we make love
in our imagination's warm nest..

each time
I proclaim vows of endless love
Strengthened by patience
You answer back with a trembling voice
Which bears a trace
of a love uncertain..

yet i love you still
