Ce qui est cela?

We've forgotten

How to wait

After those packed schedules

How to miss

After those Skype conversations

How to savour

After those 2 minute noodles

How to laugh aloud

After those "LOL's"

How to express

After those animated smileys

How to think

After those "spell-check"s

How to tolerate

After those instant-relief pills

But most of all,

We've forgotten

How to love

In the midst of those stupid romantic forwards, kissing smileys, floating hearts on a computer screen, "luv u 4evr", web-cameras, customized hello tunes, unlimited SMSes and rate cutters,

We've forgotten

How to exchange a subtle look

or to feel your heart skip a beat

after the ring of a long awaited call

or even read something beautiful

and rememeber somebody

We've forgotten

The warmth of a smile

The softness of a touch

How to hold someone

and speak of love

.

without a sound.
