To My Beloved

A One-Shot

So, today is a memorable day, so I decided to dedicate a story to it. I know it doesn't sound like any particular characters, so you guys can pick whoever you like for it, whether it be Red X and Raven (who I would pick because I love them), Starfire and Robin, Cyborg and Bumble Bee, Jinx and Kid Flash, etc.

Dear Beloved,

Today is our anniversary. Do you remember the first time we met?

It was at this very spot, right in front of those towering buildings. It was fate, or perhaps chance, that led us to each other.

You were running out of that building; I was admiring it like another other tourist. And suddenly you ran into me, apologizing swiftly as you tried to help me off the ground. I don't know how I was so lucky that you took a second look at me. That your hand was so warm and blue eyes entrancing that I kept looking at your eyes. I guess that is when our love started.

Now that I think about it, we were an odd couple. I was an artist, who's only goal was to travel the world and paint. You were dead set on being in politics, a bright future mapped out in front of you. We were complete opposites, yet completely in love with each other.

I still remember the way we would hold hands, smiling those stupid grins at each other as we walked through Central Park. The way your lips felt when you first kissed me on my friend's doorstep. The way your laughs sounded when we shared jokes. The soft feeling of your fingers when you caressed me and whispered sweet nothings into my ear. The way your scent intoxicated me with euphoria when I would wake up in your bed in the morning. God, I remember every taste, every touch, every sound…

God, how much I miss you.

Do you know I still wear the ring you give me? Even now, as I write this letter to you, I look at it with a haunted look in my eyes.

I remember how deliriously happy I was when you gave it to me…

And how much I wanted to tear it off my finger when I heard the news.

Do you know how horrifying it was to look at that TV screen, clutching it as I stared intently, screaming your name over? Do you know how much my heart pounded in my chest as I ran out and got there as fast as I could? How scared I was to see the debris, and the crowd screaming? How much I pushed through the people, unconsciously screaming your name?

Do you know how much my heart broke to see you…

All covered in blood, hardly even able to see it was you. If it had not been for your blue eyes that had captured me in the first place. If it had not been for the pain in my chest as it tore apart…

I might have been holding on stubbornly to a false hope all this time.

…………

Do you remember the day when we lost each other?

It was fate, perhaps even chance, that tore us away.

Sincerely,

Your Beloved

Although I, thankfully, have not lost any loved ones to 9/11, my condolences to those who have. They will always be in everyone's memories.

Thank you for those who read and review!
