What if for a soulmate

Touch of insomnia
It's nearly 3 am
Sleeps not getting any closer
And I havent got a friend

There no one waiting for my calls
Just bad dreams of damn school halls

Retreat to the safety of a computer screen
Watch the little lights on the modem blink green

Boot up log in, disappear to hide from alone
Drown feelings in pixels all identical

Every site another chorus of broken hearts
Too much like real life
Again I'm fleeing my own thoughts
Scared to listen

Instead, wandering down a long list of user names
(6-6) in every room I pass

Near the bottom and close to the end
Stopping, eyes catching
(1-6) all alone

Breath held, hand shaking
Feeling stupid, there's no risk I'm taking

Computer screens can't see who sits on this side
Maybe though.. they're alone too and I wont have to hide

You're two spaces from me
As my game starts, we sit silently

Cursor blinking slowly in the little text box
Fear creeping up my neck

Question hanging, to say something or just hold back
Took just a second, only three keys to press

"Hi", started it all and I'll never go back
From what if's and maybe's
To being your baby

It's been so long together, that we cant be apart
My soulmate...
I cant believe we met on a puzzle board
