I'm a soldier's angel four years later
In a war of words between worlds
About what is wrong 'bout what is righteous
I am a soldier's girl
I miss him. With all my heart. I write letters, knowing he probably won't respond. But, I write them anyway. I need to talk to him. To see him smile. To hear him laugh. To see his sky blue eyes again. Every day I look up at the small patch of sky visible through the roof of the church. Somehow, the sky isn't so scary anymore. I don't see the vast and cold unknown like I used to. I see his eyes.
I miss him so much. I know that this is an important job, but he's been gone so long. Is he alright? Is he coming back? Of course he is. He promised. But, still….
The flowers are growing well. They seem to love that wonderful shade of blue as much as I've grown to. I smile every time I sell one. Soon Midgar will be full of flowers. Just like we wanted.
I remember when I used to think that soldiers were scary. He wasn't scary. He was funny and nice and he mad me feel safe. I felt as if the sky couldn't hurt me. Not the sky or anything else. I felt protected.
It's been almost a month since I sent my last letter. Maybe I should give up. But, as soon as that thought enters my mind, I shake it away. Would he give up? No! So I won't either. Because I'm a SOLDIER's girl.
This is just a drabble that came to mind after listening to the song "Soldier's Angel." Zack and Aerith's story is such a beautifully sad one. I felt that we deserved to hear Aerith's thoughts while she was waiting for Zack.
