I used to love the sound of the ocean,
the waves crashed into the beach
and the foam that formed on top.
It made me think about old myths
and Aphrodite.
And my mind would wander around dreams and fantasies
of what love would feel like.
Faster heartbeats, and butterflies
like you're floating around on a cloud.
Maybe I was just naive, to not realize
that love isn't always so predictable
or so wonderful.
I had my heart broken, shattered and torn
I built brick walls around it
brick covered in diamond coated steel
And promised myself I would never let another man touch it


And then I met you.
You were just words on a screen at first
but then my heart beat faster when you were around
and I got little tingles in my stomach and toes
I tried to stop it, tried to slow my heartbeat
and tell myself those butterflies
were just indigestion
I was in denial, that I could feel something so real
over something so virtual.
But I couldn't help myself.
damn Cupid hit me straight where it counts
and I fell for you.

And now I find myself hating the ocean,
and hating this screen
because it only reminds me of what separates us.
But you came into my life like a wrecking ball
and tore down my walls as if they were mortared by a child.
And all those childhood dreams I had of what love feels like
I feel for you.
I'm trapped in this virtual romance
So I hope, my dear, that you're feeling this too.
Because no other words make any sense
But "I love you".
