I have seen your face before. Many times. I have it on my phone, in my pocket. It goes everywhere with me. We’ve never spoken, but we’ve been up close and personal. I think you’re amazing.
I
know the colour of your eyes. The
thickness of your hair. I’m familiar
with the way you smile, and looking closer takes me to your laughter
lines. The depth of your eyebrows is apparent. The freckles on your face are just prominent
enough for me to glimpse. In the summer
they seem to multiply.
I
have had time to figure out what it is that I like about you, what it is I’m
attracted to. Your eyes seem to look into
mine. Just mine. Just my eyes, despite the other tens of girls
that see you on a day to day basis. The dimple
in your left cheek gives a roguish appearance to your looks, but I like
it. The way your ears hang could be seen
as a defect- I just think they’re cute.
I
know you’ll never see me but that’s actually part of the appeal in following
you. I follow you on every platform in
every which way. Instagram is my
favourite because I get to zoom in on your face. You shine bright on my timeline. It’s a given now that my eyes will find your
Instagram handle before I process anything else on my feed. You don’t have a substantial amount of
pictures so I regularly have a good look through your page. I have a group of favourite photos; those
ones are saved in a collection. On
Snapchat, I am treated to a selfie every morning. Viewing your story when I get up has become a
habit of mine when I pick up my phone.
It’s
weird when I really consider it. I know
the name of your child, the area you live in, your habits, and what you do for
a living. The minor details that might
evade others don’t get passed me; your tattoo sleeve design, that small scar on
your collarbone. You know absolutely
nothing about me though. I could probably
see you in person if I really made an effort.
It wouldn’t be hard. It wouldn’t be
the craziest thing in the world. You couldn’t
really blame me when you put your information out there for all to see.
Social
media helps people to connect doesn’t it? Social media is for meeting
people.
Wait
‘till you meet me.
