poke.
It started with something as simple as a poke, an electronic scream for attention. You made me aware of your existence. It moved into a message, still no human contact but, progress was made. Back and forth we laughed out loud and exchanged smiley faces. Then it moved, into a text. More progress, more personal, more opportunities to see what happens next. It moved ino a date. I quickly gained interest as chinese food filled my plate. Before I knew what hit me, I woke up next to you... What a wonderful morning. What a gorgeous day... What started with a poke ends with me wanting to say... I love waking up next to you.
