Last night and day conversation

a metronome of night,

The clock ticked past, a metronome of night,

As words, like fireflies, took flickering flight.

A screen, our bridge, a window to the soul,

Where whispered thoughts began to take their toll.

"Hello," you said, a pixelated smile,

My fingers danced, a response in a while.

"How was your day?" a question light and small,

A thread unfurling, ready to enthrall.

We shared the mundane, weather, work's routine,

But in the space between, a spark unseen.

A book you'd finished, a quote that struck a chord,

A childhood memory, a silent, shared accord.

The hours flew by, bathed in the moon's soft gleam,

Laughter spilled forth, a keyboard's joyful stream.

Vulnerability crept in, a whispered fear,

A dream confessed, a tear, a silent tear.

We built a world, with words as building blocks,

Castles of comfort, safe from life's hard knocks.

We swapped playlists, melodies that soared,

Shared secrets whispered, never spoken before.

The stars grew dim, the sky began to blush,

A sleepy sigh, a gentle, "Goodnight, hush."

But the conversation lingered, a phantom limb,

A warmth that stayed, long after the morning hymn.

The day arrived, a flurry of emails sent,

Short messages, a connection heaven-sent.

Busy hands tapped, stealing moments to reply,

A shared joke, a link that caught the eye.

Lunch break arrived, a stolen moment's peace,

The screen once more, a conversation released.

Deeper the delve, past surface and facade,

Hopes and ambitions, dreams we hadn't had.

"Do you believe," you typed, a question bold,

In destinies intertwined, fates yet untold?

"Perhaps," I wrote, the pixels blurring bright,

"In this strange world, connections take their flight."

The afternoon waned, the sun began to dip,

The screen once more, a digital fingertips' slip.

Plans for next time, a date, a virtual tryst,

A nervous flutter in my digital chest.

The world went dark, but the conversation burned,

An ember glowing, waiting to be returned.

The space between us, now no longer vast,

Filled with a bond that seemed to move too fast.

Is this real, I wondered, this connection spun,

From pixels and words, beneath the setting sun?

But in the echo of laughter, the trust that bloomed,

A truth arose, a reality assumed.

For hearts can meet, in spaces most unknown,

Where words take flight, and souls are truly shown.

Last night and day, a conversation's grace,

Weaving a thread, across a digital space.

And as I drift to sleep, a thought takes hold,

This digital realm, a story yet untold.

A silent promise, whispered on the breeze,

To meet again, beneath the virtual trees.
