When we met on the net through the MIRC
I had no idea that you’ll become a part of me,
I keep on teasing you then, ‘coz you type slowly,
You apologized and said you’re a newbie.

Then we became a constant chat mate
And you asked me if we could go on a date,
We set a day so we can finally met,
To see me in person, you can hardly wait.

But when we met I was in a busy situation
I wasn’t able to give you much attention,
To think that you traveled far to reach my location,
Took you for granted was really not my intention.

We ate in a food chain where we had conversation
We exchanged some nice and funny question,
You have a good sense of humor, was my observation,
You’re kind and sincere was my perception.

We were on the bus when you asked for my ID
I asked what for but you didn’t mind me,
You copied the address written at the ID,
I asked again but you just smiled at me.

Few days later, you rang and asked me
On how to get to the address you copied from my ID,
I asked why, you said you will court me,
I laughed hard and said you are funny.

I gave a wrong direction so sure you will be lost
But I saw you in the door with chocolate and rose,
I told you I can only be your friend and nothing more,
You said you love me and that you are very sure.

Days have passed and you’ve been persistent
In showing your love you were consistent,
In dealing with me you were so patient,
‘Till I realized you’ve become part of my existence.

Finally I was able to tell you, I love you
You couldn’t believe it, but I am sure it is true,
I have found real love, that I truly value,
Thank God, because at last, I have found you.

I will always remember our story in the chat room
‘Coz it was there our love started to bloom,
A new beginning has started to loom,
And two years later we became bride and groom!
