KerriLyn recounts a romance that existed only in Facebook messages, where someone mistook her for her brother. She explores how digital affection through a MacBook screen felt empty, and how that fleeting connection left her longing for something real.
We talked every night for a month or two. You were a lot like me and I was like you. You asked me if I liked you but I was unsure. Opportunity's not knocking at my door anymore. Because a Facebook love isn't enough to make a heart go wild or scream like a child. You can't show you care through MacBook Air Facebook love. You chatted me up when you thought I was my brother. Didn't even know enough about you to tell my own mother. It's Facebook official, you got a new boo. I hope for her sake she really gets to meet you. Because a Facebook love isn't enough to make a heart go plop or scream like a child. You can't show you care through MacBook Air. Facebook love. It ended real quick and I think we both knew it wouldn't last so long if I never saw you. Now not much is different, life is still the same except for the fact I miss seeing you type my name because a Facebook "of" isn't enough to make a heart go Or swing like a child. You can't show you care through MacBook Air. Facebook love. Can't have a face. Facebook love.
