Remember when love happened face to face?
When words were spoken in earnest tongues,
Chemistry ignited by physical touch.
Cell phones have become a codpiece;
Fingers typing love, intimacy, secrets,
With cold buttons as the sole witness.
Remember when hesitation was a hiccup in speech?
What is it now? Waiting for words on a screen?
When did love become about “what did that mean?”
There was a time when grasping hands meant something.
Romance is being fueled by technological advances;
Filling in the voids of actual human interaction.
Truths are found out now through a cornucopia of mediums;
“I love you” is now plastered aboard screens,
Informing the world what lips should only speak.
Romance has become an informal whim,
Packaged to fit into bustling cosmopolitans.
Type three numbers to replace a word,
Then wonder why it was never heard.
