they are gone

sometimes i stumble across posts on the internet
about books or other things I love,
and i think i would be good friends with whoever wrote them

but they are long gone.
grown up and living an entirely different life,
not even sparing a memory for the things of the past,
or the girl who read their words,

and longed for a friend.
