Virtual Love by Nephtali de Leon

This poem is quit intresting and difficult to know the real intention of it, if it's a critic, a description or any other thing. I believe it is a critic and a description of how many realtionships work nowadays, they don't even know each other phisically but they are in love but...
"they were window voyeurs
who made love
on their tabletops..."
I believe that is a critic because that doesn't happen, and well another critic for me is when their love is "hacked" and nobody understood their love. I think those two are the only critics, but the rest of the poem is just a description saying that, that love is beautiful in a way and this is how relationships work, you start dating someone because you want to know him or her better, and that is happening in the poem, they are knowing each other and they are falling in love even though they hadn't meet each other face to face, but they are okay with that...
"and they knew this was the place
for real abstract love
without even once
stepping out
to be kissed by the moon
perfect icon gleaming
in the microsoft night!"
