Face to face.
We used to talk, face to face.
I used to see you smile or cry.
Now we meet in cyberspace,
Where emoticons apply.
No time to visit face to face.
There's much too much to do.
I call you, but to no avail.
I left a voice message for you.
You replied by email.
Your face is on a page on-line.
I know why you never call.
You have four hundred friends.
I doubt that you have met them all.
Most are friends of friends of friends.
I haven't seen you face to face.
It's been over a year,
Do I still count you as a friend?
Your text says that we'll get together.
I compose a reply and send.
I finally see you face to face.
Over coffee, you take my photo.
I'll be tagged soon on your wall.
Hold that thought for just a moment.
I've got to take this call.
