Finding Love in This Digital Age

Now we take human interaction for granted,  

I doubt that will ever change,  

Trading emojis for emotions; true love has vanished. 

Made of “lol’ s” and “xo’ s” encoded in our veins.  

We swipe left and we swipe right,  

Never knowing another person’s worth,  

We tag them in pictures when we go out on the first night,  

Creating a timeline of our love’s digital birth.  

We do it for the crowd, the comments, and swear by consistency,  

We love deep and we love hard, texting “novels” over our phone screens.  

But when did we seem to forget,  

That “likes” cannot define love,  

that all the noise is not sincere, 

 and that our time has ran up.  

So search wisely,  

But do not search with your phone,  

Search with the beautiful heart you were given,  

And your eyes that always roam.
