The courting rituals of modern love
Is complex and unusual
No longer face to face
No contact first impression
Stagnant pictured profiles
Of twenty years ago
A few extra pounds it says
Will I get to you new love
Instant message nightmare
Web cam extremes
No honesty just wishes
Of what we want others to think
Single personal chemistry
Encounters not serious at all
Modern courting rituals
It will take more than cupid’s arrow here
To match these profiled pictures
Disappointments flowing thick and fast
Delete and block a must
Not taking no for answers
The pestering continues
Will love ever make it through?
In our dreams is our ideal match
Why is this modern ritual so complex?
Driving crazy but obsessive
Must check the viewed me
Flattering discovery of meet me
Our insecurities on high alert
What will they think of me?
This is me but is it enough
My past will come and haunt me
The changes complicated
The modern courting rituals
