Thinking about this my friends,
How deep do emotions go when you only meet someone online and connect with words or words with photos?
In my opinion, this is very deep: "Words are all I have to Take your Heart Away" "Words" is a song by the Bee Gees, written by Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. It happened to me a couple of times. These Cyber Loves were good to a point until my heart was broken. The pain was more real than physical injury. How can this happen?
With one woman it all began with her looks and profile. Then as time went on it was apparent it was only a trick perpetrated by a website.
The deepest emotional attachment came from an encounter online, never meeting barely a quality photo so why did I fall for her? Her words were so compelling, affectionate, and warm; It seemed to indicate a wonderful woman with a mind I loved. It turned out bad and I realized I invented an image of her within me that only was a fantasy. She took advantage of me repeatedly but only online.
I finally dug deep into my courage sack and ended the torment on my terms.
Did this leave me with long-term damage? No. Now I must live by the old Russian proverb: "Trust but Verify".
Each day I manage a fresh start, and so that is where I am today. Still caring for my wife and still lonely after she is sleeping and I have about three alone hours. Now I write blogs and songs instead of dreaming of a companion who may never come to me.
