This is about meeting somebody, and falling in love with them, in an internet chat room.

The lyric was written by my friend Mike St. John in Tucson, Arizona.

My favorite of all my songs.

I found these words on a poetry website, the author was listed as some nonsense name. I sent the author an email asking for permission to use his poem in a song and he never has responded. I put his poem to music after a couple weeks of waiting.

This song is called Unknown Etude because I don't know who wrote it. I found the original melody and chord progression in a music theory book many years ago, and the melody was uncredited.

There is only about 45 seconds of this song available, and it's from somewhere in the middle of the song. What happened to it? I have no idea.

I have a feeling these words are not original from the person who gave them to me, but I couldn't find them listed in any plagiarism site.

I wrote this song in the first two months after Cheryl's death. It's difficult for me to listen to this one.
