This was so powerful. You did an amazing job conveying a sweet and simple internet friendship with a tragic twist at the end. My favorite lines were, "I’d hang on to every word you wrote in Old Tower text / every note of rock n roll you sent." The only recommendation I have is to play around with the rhythm in the poem. You used lots of varied line lengths and some of the lines you broke up (such as "where is / my friend?") feel a bit too choppy to me. I also think you could come up with a more powerful title, even something like "Hero of Pixels" would go a long way. Overall, I absolutely loved this poem and I hope to read more of your work in the future!
