Best Cyber Friends

I can’t be your live-in lover; I can’t be there to hold you tight

I can’t wear a matching wedding band; I can’t share your bed at night

I can’t hold you when you cry; I can’t cure your aching heart

I can’t fix your morning coffee; I can’t offer you a whole new start

I can’t help you raise your children; I can’t make love all night long

I can’t understand your every whim; I can’t always be that strong

I can give you an honest answer, I offer you my hand

I can lend to you a shoulder; I can be a friend who’ll understand

I can give to you a warm smile, I can give to you some hope

I can give to you some laughter; I can try to help you cope

I can share your fear beside you; I can sympathize with your grief

I can be your buddy in the wings; I can help you find relief

I can be your best friend here in cyber space,

Who you can trust with all your might

We’ll be there for each other, pals of bits and bytes

To help each other win the fight.
