Back into the WinryxEd routine! Today is a significant day, so here's an update in honor of it. Please review!

---------------

Sometimes pain is healthy for your sanity.

Sometimes meetings happen by less than luck, and sometimes bad things bring that good in people, ones overlooked by the situation fate had granted.

Sometimes some things help to remind you of what you'll always have if you just look beneath your nose.

Winry knows this, but sometimes Edward is oblivious. And sometimes Ed waits for the dawn to break as if today may never come. Sometimes Winry waits even though she knows Edward is not coming that day, but she has hope that his silhouette is just beyond the horizon, and if she surveys closely enough he'll make his way to her.

Sometimes close friends leave hints in their words, a clue to the hidden meanings, messages hoping to be deciphered. A "how are you?" could mean "are you hurt? Are you lost, afraid, cold? Do you need me like I need you? Am I allowed to love you from the fibers of my existence? I hate asking you this, so call more often, you frickin' moron" as easily as one would wake up and peal themselves from the warmth and security of their bedspread.

Sometimes days can feel like forever while you're jaded and weary, and seasons and times spent as one are passed without a second thought, yet you wish it could last and replay so that you can feel reality buzzing in your gut and in your heart; that feeling of a thirst. A love.

What is that called?

Sometimes it's easier to let go, and that's why you have to hold on.

Sometimes it hurts, yet you know that it's for the best.

And sometimes, the antidote for every problem is right next door.
