The breeze is like a cold brick hitting my face as I wait for you.
Who said that life would be easy? But…if it is the price I have to pay to have you by my side then what does it matter?
To me you are priceless. You are like an angel in the midst of a hell to which I am doomed. If only you could see how much you mean to me.
I smell flowers, soft yet sweet to my over sensitive nose. It brings memories of laughing and happiness…happiness…if only it would come that easily…

I breathe in the flower scent and close my eyes, I’m with you again. The flower field I fought in to save you. Pain…it’s unbearable. I almost lost you that day. If I had known that he would use magic to trick me into believing you were he then I would have never raised my sword for that first and final blow…
I want to shake the memories away but instead I stay still and leave them swirl in my mind and sink to the depths of subconsciousness.

Where are you?
I have come to see you…it can’t be to late…you…you can’t be gone.

I see some thing slowly falling, gliding to the ground I put out a leather gloved hand and let it land in my uncovered fingertips. It’s a soft pink colour and it’s small like a…like a…no it is too late. I look up as the flower petals come down covering every thing in its soft milk pink colour.

I had come to wait for you here to find you were waiting for me.
I was late…like normal…but this time I wont have a second chance. I will never see that smile or hear that warm sweet voice or…or…touch that soft smooth face.
Gone…
But I guess you are in a happier place now…no more pain or sorrow.
I want to say I love you and I have finally forgiven myself for the pain I had brought before…and I…love you…I have always…loved you.
