* I've always believed we meet for a reason, Though some reasons are hard to explain. I met you by chance, and I'm still none the wiser, Perhaps the universe is laughing again. You might be here to test my patience, Or show me how little I've got. My sense of humour's not quite standard, And sometimes I'm taken the wrong way a lot. We're online buddies, that's how it goes, With miles between us and lives of our own. We can't replace what's been lost along the way, Or start all over like it's yesterday. You're peeling back my onion layers, To see what you can find. You've peeled away so many layers, There's only a pickle left behind. Maybe there's a reason why we met, Neither of us can explain How someone can come into your life, And leave you with a muddled brain. We're online buddies, that's how it goes, With miles between us and lives of our own. We can't replace what's been lost along the way, Or start all over like it's yesterday. We're not twenty, with our lives before us, And everything waiting to begin. We've got our habits, our ways and our baggage, And a past that we still carry within. You've got your busy life, I've got mine, And the miles between us don't decline. So we're online buddies, and that's how it'll be, The universe laughing at you and me. We're online buddies, that's how it goes, With miles between us and lives of our own. We can't replace what's been lost along the way, But perhaps we can brighten an ordinary day. We're online buddies, that's how it goes, With miles between us and lives of our own. We can't replace what's been lost along the way, Or start all over like it's yesterday. Andy.B 25.10.2026
