Digital Love

By Nida Fatima

Love in this digital age is a wondrous thing, a piece of art.

Two hearts that beat as one are set worlds apart.

Strangers turned to lovers through pixels on a machine,

Hiding behind avatars on our phone screens.

In our own little virtual space, devoid of time,

Though miles apart, our souls entwine.

With each tap and swipe, our love ignites,

United by the glow of a device just as bright.

Our love set in motion with each click and every keystroke

Deep within, the longing for a touch is evoked.

You tether me together each time I fall apart,

This distance means so little as you dwell in my heart.
