A Virtual Tale

To the tune of A Winter's Tale

Here I read alone,
My memories are long and clear,
I wonder if you're here, I wonder if you're lurking?
I wonder where you are today?
Good luck, and fare thee well,
For all my goodbyes may be worth,
I hope that love and strength will keep you for the length
Of your time on earth.

It was only a virtual tale,
Just another virtual tale,
Why should the net take notice of one more friendship failed?
As you leave now I search my heart,
And I wonder if I should depart,
But on a net-wide scale, it's just another virtual tale.

With age, you come to know
That nothing stays just as it was,
My memories are clear, they speak of change and progress,
And progress means we come and go.
But age, it has a curse:
Too many old friends lost for ay,
My heartache now is strong, I sing my parting song
To the cruel sky.

Now as I read alone,
Sad news seems to ring through the air.
Is this now all I'm left, will partings fill the future?
Do I still have the strength to care?
Good luck, dear friends who go,
Please come back when you feel you may,
For from my deepest soul each parting takes a toll
I can no longer pay.

... just a virtual tale.
