Computer Virus

I got a notification from Facebook today that made the past year flash before my eyes. As of today I have known you a year. Yesterday a year ago we were strangers and somehow on this day it feels like we have returned. We spent a whole night talking, then another, then another, I allowed you to become my insomnia fuelled dream. Then the world got... Complex. Time seemingly froze. Everyone was stuck inside and everything felt suffocating. It was fine at first, we were used to the screens, everyone was... but you got sick.

The world crumbled around me and you were a million miles away watching it crumble around yourself. I don't blame you for avoiding the virus, I don't blame you for avoiding me. I just wish we had more time. Every now and then you return by the glow of a message among a haze of coffee and marijuana smoke. In those moments my entire being seizes. I don't know what to say to let you know I could talk to you for a lifetime. But those moments are as fleeting now as the snow fall in England. The faster it falls, the quicker it fades.

I have known you for a year and yet I do not know you at all.

For all I know.

It was just a computer virus.
