Merry Christmas To Me


I sighed and stepped away from the tree. It was beautiful, with its blinking lights and the twinkling star. You would like it, too. Just like every other year, you would have loved it.

But only if you were here.

I turned and walked into my bedroom. I opned the closet, removed some wrapping paper and ribbon and went to sit them on my bed. I then walked to my desk picked up a pair of scissors and some tape, and then I went back to the bed and sat down.

I placed the scissors and tape beside me and reached over and opened up my bedside table drawer. I pulled out a small velvet box, then reclosed the drawer.

I sighed, fighting tears, as I opened the small box to gaze at what was inside....

After wrapping the small box up in the happy, holiday wrapping paper, I put the name tag on it, and walked back into the living room.

I hit the switch to the living room lights, and the room was cast into darkness, except for where the croner where the tree stood, with all its bright, multi-colored lights.

I walked to the tree and knealed down beside it, placing the small and only gift beneath it...


I sat in a chair and watched the twinkling lights as they flashed. I hated the music from the one set of musical lights as the high pitched notes drifted into my crowded mind.

I thought of so many things for a while. But mostly how much I missed you. I knew why you were gone, and I knew it was my fault. I had my problems, but you seemed to always get the bad end of the deal because of it.

I guess you finally had had enough.

Somewhere outside I heard a bell chime midnight. I looked out the window, to the general direction from where the chiming bell was coming from. The snow was deep around my window sill, and the frost had covered much of my window, making it hard to see outside. But it didn't really matter. I had looked out thw window, but I wasn't wanting to see anything anyway.

I stood and stretched. I then knealt down next to the small gift and picked it up. Slowly I peeled the paper away and let it fall slowly to the floor.
I then opened the small velvet box, your wedding ring inside reflecting the lights.

I sighed as a tear slowly fell down my cheek.

"Merry christmas, Mamoru..."

~Today I took some paper from the closet
And wrapped the wedding ring
You left behind
And I addressed it to the man
Who vowed to love you
And on the little card
I wrote these words inside

Merry Christmas to me
Just one gift beneath my tree
For the fool who let you leave
Merry Christmas to me

Then I sat down in my chair
And thought about you
About the many reasons why you're gone
And I opened up the present that I gave to me
And realized how much it hurts to be alone

Merry Christmas to me
Just one gift beneath my tree
For the fool who let you leave
Merry Christmas to me~
