When did I fall in love?
Was it chatting online?
After our first kiss?
How did I miss the moment?

I thought I had control.
I thought I had... myself under control.
I knew inside that our lives made being together impossible.

When did you know first know?
You claim online, when you saw my eyes on a random profile shot.
But how could you know?
An emotionless computer screen was all you could see.

A web so intangible.
What's real?
Who's real?
So many dark lies.
So many dark intentions

But you felt love from a profile pic.
I felt a connection.
I felt you were real.
Too good to be real at times

Love's there.
Then it's not.

I was never sure if I could believe what I see.
When did you know your love for me was real?
How could you be sure that I was real?
When did you fall in love with me?
