"Rose Garden."

You never promised me a rose garden

You never said it would be easy

You never promised me a leisure lifetime

You only said you'd never leave me…

It was coming that time of year again. After this year it would be ten years after a bitter heart break in the end. She sat in her living room, as the night became alive right before her eyes.

(It was Christmas time and the year was perfect for having old friends coming over to share a big feast and catch up on old times. Hilde went behind his back and invited everyone that they hadn't seen in years. Quatre, Trowa, Catherine, Heero, Relena, Wufei, Sally, Milliardo, Noin etc. everyone said they would come. She was waiting in the living room, dressed in the nicest out fit that she'd ever owned and that was a black mini-skirt that had a navy blue Shaw and was spaghetti strapped. Duo came down in his red fiery silk shirt with a black tank under it and a pair of black jeans. He began to admire the clothes she was wearing. He grinned ear to ear. It was their first Christmas that they actually had for themselves and he wasn't going to disappoint the girl he loved.

"Hilde, why are you dressed up?" he asked innocently as he could without sounding like a child.

"You'll see," she whispered.

"Awa, come on Hilde," he begged.

Duo moved in for a kiss and was fixing to also wrap his arms around his girl, when the doorbell goes off. Duo looks puzzled at Hilde she let's out a smile then a giggle.

"Merry Christmas," she said and opened the door to see Heero, Relena, Milliardo, and Noin. "I invited the all the guys, and their girls, to come out here and have Christmas with us. Well we never really get to see them, y'know."

"But Hilde, we never really get anytime together any more," he whined like a two year old. Then afterward was history, a big fight broke out against Hilde and Duo. Hilde was blaming Duo for that he would never let an opportunity like this to have with their friends. She also mentioned that they could always have their "little games," of fun later.)

She sighed. Maybe she made the wrong choice and blaming Duo for what he wanted when they where only partying until to two in the morning and then they could always have fun on New Years night then on into the early morning of the New Year. But she chose to leave him behind for he would probably never understand what she wanted when she didn't exactly know what she wanted. Ever since the day she left him her life has since then been a living hell.

She stood up and picked up a note she found on the floor when she returned to the home that she left to find for sale. She bought it and found this paper on the floor. She placed it with her belongings in her desk and forgot about it. Weird thing now, she decided to read after five years of fighting to read it.

Death Wish

I have a secret death wish

I hid behind a grin

It makes me feel that I'm all right

And my nerves aren't growing thin.

I think I see the Reaper

Harvesting his grain

I want him to venture my way

And end this mindless pain

Do you feel my pain?

Do you see my wish?

Do you know that I love you?

I must be talking to a fish

But when I see you come my way

It almost seems to brighten my day

But no, no I can not let my self-break

I'm usually not the one for dramatics

But I'll keep this short and sweet

My time is here and I'll soon leave

You make me feel complete

Good bye...

When had he written that? From the looks of it, it must be from the start of the war only one could be sure of that and that would be to get a hold of Duo himself.

Well I never took the time to realize

How much I needed love to survive

I was so spoiled…a princess in my time

And your love was so deep

And mine was so blind…

I wonder how he is doing. After all we haven't seen each other in so long it would probably near too impossible to be able meet up with him and not get yelled at for my actions. I've already told the others that I have moved back into the old house and for them to tell Duo that I have moved. WAIT! What if this he wrote was true? What if this has happened already? Am I too late to save him? God, please no! I didn't mean any harm! I just wasn't thinking when all that happened and I followed on instinct from the war!

You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds

A band of gold you said was all you could buy

You never said I'd be a rich man's lady

And, oh my darling, you never lied

And now you're gone and I'm alone, and I'm so lonely

Nothing seems to be the same

One day I turned around and you no longer loved me

In my life there's been a big change...

She had to admit that she had tried to get back up with Duo and win his love for her back. But he turned on his heels and said that was out the window. He doesn't love her any more. For he has better things to do than fight with her.

She walked out side and marveled her rose gardens that to her this was the only comfort she had. And now the roses where on the verge on dying from the cold weather.

Now I've a big house

With pillars standing tall all around

Yeah, I've got a garden

And it's dangling down to the ground

Yes, I've got money

Men to love me and acres of land

Well, I've got all these things

All these things but a small gold band

On my finger on the left hand

No, no, you never promised

You never promised me a rose garden.
