Late Night Longing...

I met someone new recently... She's smart, funny... We've been texting a lot, getting to know each other better. But we haven't actually met in person yet... And I feel this deep pull towards her... A connection that goes beyond just talking online... The other night, we were chatting late into the evening... The conversation got pretty intimate... I confessed my feelings for her... We both admitted we're drawn to each other... She said she feels it too... But then the moment passed... And now there's this quiet emptiness inside me... Waiting for when our worlds align enough to act on what's between us... Sometimes, even with someone so understanding and warm on the other end... It doesn't feel real until you're actually together. Until there's more than just words. But I'll wait... For the right time... When it won't be this lonely longing anymore.
