   He was done with me, and like that he left.
I was scared, alone, and sad.
I needed someone.
I confided in her, she didn't live close.
Within the next few hours as I laid I bed crying, I heard a knock on my door.
It was her.
She came to comfort me, to make me laugh, to feel better.
I had needed that so badly then.
A wonderful friend, there for me, going out of her way to come see me late at night when it was nearly impossible for her to do so. It didn't matter how impossible it was, she had come anyways. I loved her.
She's gone now. And seems everyone has gone too. When I need someone now, no one comes.
Just " I'm sorry. I wish I could help."

She had never said that. Never told me she was coming even, just showed up. I suppose she set my expectations too high. I'd be there for people in a heartbeat, like she was. But who will do that for me, now?
It's years later, and it should have gotten less impossible. It only got more impossible though.

Whatever happened to the people like her?
