Words can take on a life of their own.
The Power of Words

All she could do was reach out
With words giving encouragement
A gentle push, a nudge.
You can do it she would type,
You have the talent.

Words would come back,
Saying that he was trying,
He would get it done.
Words would fly across the screen
Asking how she was, had
She typed her words for that day.

A smile would cross her face,
As she read the words that were typed
Upon the screen looking back at her.
Just words, words typed
With care, with thought.

Words reaching back and forth,
Words of caring and sharing
Words that grew into stories
Words of fantasy.

Only words they would say
Only words they would remind her,
Just words to write with,
Words that could never be a reality.

Don't let the words catch you,
Those kind of things don't happen
A voice tells her.
Remember, they are just words
to write with she was reminded.

Then the words met.
Some of the words written were a fantasy,
Some of the words a reality.
The words were spoken, as they faced each other
were they the reality, or was it a fantasy to be written?

Words that cause pain within ones soul.
Words upon which dreams are made of
Words to hold close to one's heart,
Words to hold onto for a lifetime,
Words to hold ones tears,
Words as she watches him walk away and disappear,
Words...words...precious words.
