Fate can be so cruel and mean
because now I only see you on my computer screen
No warm embrace
or in person glace upon your face
It is almost like living it a time of war
with people even afraid to step out their door
Eventually, Hulu and Netflix become a bore
and the ghost town view outside my window an eyesore
“This too shall pass”
and as lovers we will be alone at last
I look forward to making new memories
and laying together enjoying a lake breeze
