Although her face I'd never seen,
Or walked the places that she'd been,
A friend she had become, so rare and true,
From inside my trusting screen.

Although we'd never seen each others
Emotions, they were felt in every way,
And I treasure the times I came to my screen,
To share with her every day.

We may not have know each other long,
But a friendship was truly grown,
And in my heart each time we shared,
Will be remembered and always know.

She gave me a listening ear,
She trusted me, and shared so much,
That even though face to face we never met,
Indeed my life she had touched.

Now I say good bye,
To a friend I held so dear and true,
A  friend I never met,
But one I surely knew.

She touched my heart,
And showed me a world I'd never seen,
Through my screen she showed me,
Places I'd never been.

So as I say good bye to her,
A close yet unseen friend,
I'll hold her memories tight,
And this screen will never let them end.
