I Want

I stared at the casket. The casket that held my love, my life. As I stare at the faces that were
there, I realize now just how big of a mistake I made. Now, as I leave the cemetary, I see the
casket being lowered into the earth.

"I'll always be here.." the voice echoed in my mind.

Everything is turned upside down in my life. Never will I be able to hold my love in my arms or
hear the voice, feel the touch my heart so longs for. Never will I be able to see the face I've
seen almost 9 years, or see the smile...see the deep brown eyes staring into my own.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." I whisper.

I touched the headstone and my tears fell on the grass, and as I wiped my tears away, I read the
headstone out loud. Just to hear the name again.

Here lies Ash Ketchum
1999-2010
Born a simple boy, died a legend.
"We'll miss you Ashy boy."

"Oh God Ash...If only I hadn't left you for Gary..." I whispered.

Out of the corner of my teary eyes, I saw Gary approaching. He knew about Ash's suicide and he
had made no move to tell me. He had known about Ash's traumatized state. If only I hadn't left
him.

"I want you back Ash." I whispered.
