The Internet Bride

Hours spent rechecking for a message

staring at the webpage.

'No new mail' it says

but she clicks on 'Inbox' anyways.

What if they sent it, but she didn't get it?

What if she didn't sent it right?

What if it was lost on the net, or might

have been dismissed as 'junk'?

What if they are trying to reach

Her, as she was trying for them?

Should she resend it? Or will they

think of her as impatient?

Agitated, she bites her lip

Thinking of what to do

Was she refused?

She encloses herself with fears.

Her thoughts hurt her.

But quickly she settles herself to get

an apology from them who she believed

shattered her self esteem

Now her eyes narrowed

as she tried to create an outline-

how to confront them and

show that she was worthwhile

She checked for more details

about them, she needed these

To show them what they really

needed, and how she was it!

As she explored, she remembered

she had another e-mail account-

her first, but now very rarely used...

And lo! There it was-

"1 new message"!
