Title: "Echoes of Friendship"

As the morning sun cast its golden hue,
An email flagged 'urgent' came into view.
A familiar name, long lost in the past,
Stirred memories, emotions amassed.

The sender, a friend from days gone by,
Whose laughter once filled the endless sky.
Two years had whispered their solemn tale,
Of goodbyes said, of a ship set to sail.

A pang of sorrow, a twist of surprise,
As the cursor hovered over that disguise.
The name that blinked, a ghostly sight,
Echoes of friendship, lost in the night.

With trembling hands, the email unfurled,
Words penned by a departed world.
The screen became a portal in time,
A bridge between realms, an emotional climb.

In those lines, the essence still alive,
The friend's words, as if they'd survive.
An eerie moment, a bittersweet find,
The message echoed, transcending the mind.

Perhaps a glitch, or fate's subtle play,
Brought forth a friend from far away.
Though gone, their spirit continued to speak,
In that 'urgent' email, hauntingly unique.

A tale of connection beyond life's end,
Where friendships endure, forever to transcend.
In the digital ether, a bond remained,
As memories and love softly regained.
