I Want To See You


Crawling across the World Wide Web

Are we the spiders or flies caught in it's intricate weaves?

I see your life, you see mine, photo after photo

swipe after swipe, like after like

Look at my three thousand "friends"

But in real life, how would you see me, how would I see you?

The cliques at school make it hard to form friends

But the clicks online are all about forming friends

iphone, snapchat, factime, face the fact 

that we can do it all, without making eye contact

Talk to me, because I'm real, I'm here

I want to see you in no other way

Because we never know what this will cost us someday
