Hello and remembering you at the beginning of another year!

I haven't really met you
But I know you are there

I met you in a place known as Activeworlds
There, you said Hello
And from that simple hello
We became more than simple chatters

We became friends

Though distance separate us
I know you exist
Though we haven't seen each others' faces
I know there's beauty in you

For you have been God's Gift to me
And your beauty shows in the kindness you give

Your presence in the web delight me
We've talked about so many things
We ourselves can never tell those around us
We share secrets, We've shown concern
We understand, emphatize situations
And counsel one another

Time will someday come when you will take another road
And I will journey on
A time when you will be with the company of others
&And I will be far from you

Yet, looking ahead, I will glance back and remember
Once in my life, you came
You came and touched my life
And I will be forever grateful

Thanks to a simple hello, I met you, And for Now, that is all that matters.
