Ed,

It's been a while…six years actually. It's funny to think about you leaving for so long. I honestly got used to you coming home for repairs….I guess we can't go back to that now can we…

Furher Roy Mustang, (Yes he finally made Furher.) is finally closing the gate. I know Al said to close it right away but…none of us wanted that day to be our last meeting. I suppose this is the last letter I'll send through the gate.

I had a dream last night…I was at the altar, getting married and you came to stop me….I realized that it would only ever be dreams waiting for you to come home to us… I guess that was undeniable.

So I'm writing this letter as my last goodbye and the admittance of my true feelings toward you.

Edward, I'd only ever felt alive with you. When I was feeling worry and fear, I knew you were too strong to die so I'd just wait. Though all that time I was worried and hopeful, I felt a surge of happiness and excitement for the moment you and Al came home.

If you hadn't guessed this by now, I'm writing this letter to tell you how much a love you Edward…I love you so much… But…..I need to settle down and realize you aren't coming home.

I don't think I can do that but if in some miracle I can…Well…I know that won't happen…Tell Alphonse that he was the best little brother I've ever had….Don't forget me Edward Elric or I've I got a trusty wrench just ready to cross that dam gate with!

…I mean it Edward don't forget me…I love you and I know I'll never forget you.

Always waiting,

Winry

Edward sighed holding back tears as he began to re-read the letter from the girl he never got to love for the seventh time that day.
