Frustrating
how I long to feel your warm skin

Frustrating
how I bottle these feelings deep within

so many things preventing me from loving you,
age difference and the distance separating me and you,
hearing your voice is enough to brighten any day,
but even that can't satisfy the hunger of seeing your face,
the only time we can "connect" is through a series of wires,
conversations burning through to late hours,
the thought of meeting you is what gets me through,
there maybe others i'll love but i know what i'm feeling's true

Frustrating
how others say "there's others, he aint nothin"

Frustrating
how they dont understand virtual lovin'
