Through the Eyes of a Young Alchemist in Love
The lyrics of a song I once heard deep within my dreams, expands on what I truly believe. "Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something in me say; I really don't think your strong enough no."
The science of alchemy still has yet to prove why or how things like this happen, and why these feelings are so strong. My boyfriend and I were separated for many years, over a great distance through no fault of our own.
The anger, the hatred and the cruelty I have seen, I hope he never does. They who live just beyond the other side of the gate...how could they live like that? Causing a war just because one person is different from one another.
But that isn't my topic right now.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for several years, and he finally asked me to move in with him and his older brother. It's truly amazing to think that so many years of friendship could blossom into a love like ours. So strong and powerful, despite everything we've been through.
Although, him alone, he isn't strong enough no. He even said so. That's why I'm always there with him, to help him along
Yet, I can't count how many times he's risked his life for me over the years. He has to be crazy! There's no other explanation for his actions other than that. He really means a lot to me, and I would give anything for him...some say that I already did.
Oh mom, you'd be so proud of me and how I've come along in this world.
But...my alchemy still needs more work for me to fully understand it. Just the fact that I don't need a transmutation circle is enough to throw other alchemists for a loop. Even my boyfriend and his brother don't understand.
But it doesn't matter; anomaly or not, I can't use my alchemy to do the impossible.
What the law of equivalent exchange says that no one can do; reverse the flow of life. I lost count at how many countless people I have helped throughout my journey; it's made me the most famous female alchemist in all of Central.
I guess the ones I really should be thanking are Edward and Alphonse. Without them, my life would have ended a long time ago.
What I'm trying to say is; Alphonse, I love you. I always have, I always will. Thank you for always being there for me.
And Edward, the older brother who's always been so short, I have learned to be more like you. With determination and just believing in myself...Thank you as well.
