to you love isnt fiction
its just a shadow of a dream
you think it cant bring happiness
its not as real as it may seem

because if love were real
you wouldnt be alone
sitting on the computer
in a silent empty home

you wouldnt be sitting here typing
on profiles and pages and blogs
trying to find hope amongst flickering screens
not moving, like bumps on logs

love is supposed to be warm and fun
holding hands and walks on that cliche beach
laughing and kisses
always being within each others reach

so for those of you online
who are hoping for something more
on your cold flat dead computer screen
behind closed curtains and a locked door

love isnt something that you can find
through a hunk of wires and glass
so next time your lonely
dont sit on your ass

open your windows
and unlock your door
go outside a flirt
with the cute person next door

remember that love isnt just fiction
or the shadow of a dream
you can make it as real
as you want it to seem.
