When Everything Turns to Dust

Carlisle's POV
A sad sigh escaped my slightly parted lips as I entered the cemetery that was covered in white, powdery snow. The skies were grey and it seemed they held drops of rain that are just waiting to fall.
I had tears that hid deep within my immortal body; the only horrible thing is that I can't even shed a single tear for my lost love. I still couldn't believe she was gone.
Strolling on past tombstones that seemed to be older than I was I couldn't help but think of all the years that she had stuck by me. She was like an angel that was sent to me from the heavens when I needed someone the most. It was ironic that it was snowing when I gave her new life, and then it snowed on the last day of her life.
How I wish I could feel her cold body lying against mine and hear the happiness in her voice whenever she looked around at her family. I swallowed the lump in my throat that didn't even seem to be there. I wish I could have been granted one more day to be with her, to hold her in my arms, to see her butterscotch eyes light up with happiness.
She was always putting her family before herself, she couldn't be happy unless all of us were. I don't think she could ever know how much I had loved her. You would think that just because we are immortal that nothing can kill us. Oh no, sadly, her death represented that everything can and will eventually die out.
I finally came to her stone as I fell to knees in front of it; I traced the inscriptions that said:
Esme Cullen
Beloved wife and amazing Mother
May angels lead you in, beautiful
Letting out a small whimper, I traced my fingers over the rose that lay in front of the tombstone and said, "My dearest Esme, you have brought so much love and kindness to my world of darkness. You were my light when everything else was dark. I will find a way to join you someday, but for now, the children need me."
I softly smiled as I thought of our new addition to our family. "Bella turned out to be a beautiful vampire and she was absolutely breath-taking at her wedding. I'm sure you would have been very proud and happy for her and Edward." I sighed sadly and leaned over, kissing the cool stone. "I will see you again, my love."
