Send My Love
Dear Toya:
Never knowing what would happen, I took a step foward, sometimes confidently, but sometimes hesitantly. And that's what brought me to you, Toya. I was unsure of my future, and I didn't know that I'd find you, but I did. Perhaps it was our destiny.
There were times when I wanted to stop time and stay in the moments where I was truly happy, with you, but the flow of time cannot be stopped. I defied my family, my blood, even my destiny, but I couldn't defy time.
You're gone now and there's no way I could bring you back, but I'd always treasure the moments we shared. The short time we spent together would always be a part of me, of my memories.
Time certainly flies by quickly, our child would be four years old tomorrow. It's hard to believe that it's been two years since you've left and four since the whole incident.
Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like had I not been born to the Mikages. But I realized that if this whole thing hadn't happened, then I would never have met you, or loved you. I wouldn't be the Mikage Aya I am now. The whole incident taught me that I should cherish those before me and not take them for granted because you never know when you might lose them.
I tried to make the most of our short time together, did you know that Toya? It was because I feared losing you like I did my father, Aki, and Chidori. They were gone before I had the chance to tell them how much I loved them. Looking back, I regret having never told them how much they meant to me. Learning from my mistakes, I made sure that everyday, when you woke up, I was there to greet you with a smile and "I love you." At least when you leave, you'd have known that I truly cared for you.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you all this in person, but I wanted you to know all this, so I'm sending this letter up to heavens to you. I don't know how, but I'll find a way. I'll ask Ceres to bring this letter to you if I must.
Please promise me that you'll take care of Aki and tell him that I love him. Watch over me and our child. Please know that I loved you and always will. I know I promised you I wouldn't cry, and trust me, this would be the last time. I'll continue with my life and live it with a smile because that's what you loved the most - my smile. Don't worry, I'll be fine.
It's been two years now, and I'm finally starting to let go.
With all my love, Aya
After she finished her letter, Aya put her pen down and sighed. She looked out her window, at the heavens and smiled. "I love you, Toya."
