My online friends are important to me.

People who are less familiar with online friendship might view our relationship as not quite real, or at least as less significant than a face-to-face one. Some might even look on it as being more like the relationship one has with a fictional character, or that a child has with an imaginary friend. Maybe that’s true in a limited sense; no one who isn’t snooping over my shoulder ever even sees you. But that’s just a detail; a tiny thing.

I think about that when I listen to this song, one of my favorites by I Am Jen.

I don’t have to see you to believe
You know everything I think and what it means
I can feel your changing shape and energy
If I listen I think I can hear you breathe

There is just one thing that I don’t see
It’s a detail such a tiny thing
I’m forever left wondering
Tell me

Why do you have to be invisible

Told a desperate man that things would change
The worry in his eyes and all the pain
I promised you would come and rearrange
He laughed and said you were the one to blame

There is just one thing that I don’t see
It’s a detail such a tiny thing
I’m left forever wondering
Tell me

Why do you have to be invisible
