its just 1's and 0's

after she logs off i remain sitting and i stare at the screen.
i leave the chat window open, dont know why.
maybe im hoping shed come back and send me that "*".

*

im not gonna lie, i cant feel it on my lips.
its simple binary code, its just 1's and 0's.
..and yet, its what i crave for. i want it over and over again.

when she turns on her webcam and image finally appears i murmur a "hello".
dont know why i do it, she doesnt hear it.
and then i stare.
at her eyebrows, her lips, that joker-like smile, the tip of her nose.

her.

its weird feeling this way towards someone
that ive spent more time talking to online than in real life.
..and i keep telling myself that its just 1's and 0's.
