Remembrance

Remembrance

I stand at your gravestone, silent tears falling from my eyes. "You've only just left me." My voice trembled while I talked to thin air. "But I can't remember you." I kneel in front of the gravestone. Brigadier General Roy Mustang; b. 26.OCT.1882 d. 4.MAY.1921 it said. "Your touch, "I said, "Your kiss," More tears fell down my cheeks, "It's all gone." That last kiss, the one we shared in the rain, all I remember about it is that it was you I was kissing. See? I'm forgetting your face too. The only way I remember is from the pictures of us that I took down after you left me. Your things, they're all in your old dresser, there's almost nothing in sight in our house that reminds me of you, even though they're still there. "I miss you," I told the carved white rock. "But I can't remember you." I set the Stargazer lilies that I'd brought him on the grave. They are- no were his favorite flowers. I stood up. "I love you." I said, "Forever and always." I turned from the stone of which my husband of only four years laid cold beneath, and left him again. I can't remember, but I'll never forget. One last tear slid down my face as I left the cemetery. "Goodbye again"  I murmured, " B*****d Colonel."

After all those emotional feelings, an unexpected ending ^_^ This is a fine piece of writing.

Although short, a very nicely written piece. It creates a vivid image in one's mind and has good details. I almost fell off my chair when I read the last line. I love a good "kick in the gut" revelation in stories ;D

Oh, btw, you made me lookup Full Metal Alchamist and I'm loving it ;D

Thanks!

I finished the original FMA and am now watching the remake, "Brotherhood" ... It's so weird xD All the twists and turns because the original was created before the Manga was finished.

Brotherhood seems much more lighthearted than the original. A lot more Anime style show of emotion. FMA did seem a bit ill conceived after it branched off when it outpaced the manga and I'm loving seeing the difference between the true authors vision and that of the animation artists.
