Bucky's Death

Steve Rodgers stared emotionlessly at Bucky's grave. "When you first died Bucky, you changed me" he paused. "When I first woke up from the ice, I didn't know anybody. I woke up and the first thing I remembered was that you died. I realized the burden that I thought I was going to carry with me for the rest of my life. I blamed myself everyday for your death. I was supposed to be a symbol of the American people, but on the inside I wasn't sure about anything. You made me doubt myself" Steve paused again. "When you came back, the burden disappeared. You were the only person who really understood me; you understood what it meant to have your life taken from you. But when you died again, I just couldn't take it. I felt the burden again but this time it felt heavier. Then I realized that I was truly alone. I couldn't be the hero that everyone though I was. I worried about the people close to me; I constantly worried about Sam and Sharon. I always wanted to believe that I became Captain America because the world needed it, but then I realized that I did it for myself. I'm going to miss you Bucky" Steve Rodgers slowly turned around and started to walk away. "You were the only person who really understood me"
