I am just a simple roleplayer.

No one beside me, no friends I have.

An hour later, I've been joined in a guestroom.

I think it's a random add.

There, I met a boy not a man.

For he's still a stranger for me.

I stalked him—

and didn't expect what I've read.

He's a great founder, while I am just a freakin' nobody in RPW.

Since that day, I began to love his works.

I even read his very first work which is dated on 2018.

Days goes by, I have the confidence to react and comment on his works.

The thought of being his friend makes me see myself writing a poem.

A useless poem.

Yeah, a useless one.

Because the words doesn't connect.

So I crumpled and put it on fire.

"I can't believe I'd constructed useless one stanza poem."

He always post 2-3 poems or stories everyday.

I'd never stopped supporting him.

Until one day—he never posted something.

I can't help it, but curiosity strikes me.

Infront of a mirror, it's me.

It's me—writing a poem.

A poem with few words but composed of thousand feelings.

I can't deny the fact that I missed him.

Not the works—but the writer himself.

Typing on my phone's screen, I tapped the 'send' icon after I typed my poem dedicated to him.

I've been waiting for hours for him to see it.

But I waited for nothing.

A week after, his name appeared in my newsfeed.

He's back!

But what caught my attention is his status.

"I-in a relationship."

My body weakened as I am reading those three words again and again.

I was about to delete the poem I sent him.

But his message appeared, saying—

"I know you. You've been with me through my journey as a writer. Your name always appear 1 minute after I post my work."

"Thank you for your support but I think this is the end of my journey. Pursue your writing, you'll travel way far than me and I know it."

He's words are still with me.

He's right!

I am inspired because of him that's why I created my own writerhood.

Suddenly,my tears cascaded through my cheek as I am reminiscing from the past.

He died 1 day after he gave me those words I'll never forget.

Leukemia.

He died because of Leukemia.

And his relationship status is just a prank.

I just can't believe my favorite writer died in just a young age.

Staring intently at the night sky saying—"We are indeed a star-crossed poetry."
