Poem about friendship on icq.

This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems - Poems about Cyber Friends

Unseen Friend
Although you are a friend of mine
and letters we exchange,
I wouldn't know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?

You hold a place within my life,
unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.

I picture what I think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.

So for this friendship we possess,
we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.

  • shrey
    hey iceman u r really a great poet
  • bahaa
    ya this poet is right, cause somtimes the unseen friend can be better then the seen one
  • P
    This is so true. i have an unseen friend and she brights up my day when ever i talk to her. I wish we could meet because it seems like it would be fun to get to know her but I dont think it will ever work out since there is a distance problem. I will never know who she is even though i talk to her. It is kinda weird once you think about it to much.

  • Robin
    I love this poem. It is soooo true. I copied it, and showed it to some of my friends on the chatroom I go too all the time. They loved it. It shows truth, and honesty. That is what it's all like. I have alot of friends over the internet, that I have never seen, never even came close to seeing. But, I picture them in my mind, I try at least. I hope this writer keeps going, because, I seem to think, that he/she will sure go a long waY!

  • Learning
    A good poem.
  • Just
    I sent this to one of my friends on ICQ. Me and him live right down the street from one another. I wanted to meet him, but he said he didn't want to. He said it would ruin the fun of talking on-line. I read this poem and it just fit me and him perfect. Even though we live so close maybe it is something special...to have someone there like that...a mystery friend...always right there but never seen....
