3 long years...

3 long years it took me to finally win his heart...

3 years...

And now...

I seated myself in the grass, taking out food from a picnic basket I brought with me.

"Brought some of that Pocky stuff you seemed to like so much."

I took out the Strawberry Pocky box and laid it beside the dying roses.

"How are you doin'? I'm holding up okay I guess... the guys are tryin' their best to keep me in check."

3 years ago I saw him... I knew I fell in love. How couldn't I?

3 years ago began my chase... my chase for his heart.

3 years later he gives me his love and I graciously gave him mine.

3 years later we got married...

And then...

I finished off my sandwich and put everything back in the basket, standing as I finished. I brushed off the dirt from my jeans and stared at the grave that held the man I love... and will always love...

3 years... and then he was ripped away from me...

I still remember screaming... screaming so loud that I could feel the strain and taste the coppery liquid in my throat.

His body fell to the ground after that gunshot...

Why? Why god!

I swallowed my tears as I placed a small brief kiss on the tomb.

"I love you..."
