AM I REALLY CYBER?

I question why
Of my missing someone
I considered as a friend
As a crime in action?

I question why
My being thought of
As a pursuer of something more than a friend or
Am I thought of as wanting to be your lover?

Am I wrong
In thinking a friendship
Can develop even if
One cannot see each other face to face?

Am I only considered a cyber person?
You truly believe I am not real?
Do I really invalidate what a friend can be
Because you do not see me in actual body form?

I only exist behind a computer keyboard
That communicates to and fro
In letter, email, correspondence
Of personal and other writings?

I do not have emotions of a real being
Who risks sharing parts of me
For you to read and come to conclusions
Of whom I say I am?

I really ask then,
`Who am I?' and 'What will you do
Should we cross paths in the real life;
Mutter under your breath that I am only a cyber person?'
