Forever…
Epilogue
by Karumi
Author's note: Here's the
epilogue. I had the story all planned a long time ago. This surfaced in my mind
as I was writing it. Please review, it only takes a minute ^_^

Garnet stood in front of the gravestone. She had a small
paper in her hands.
"Hi…It's been almost 4 years
now. I wrote something for you. It was suppose to be a poem; but it doesn't
rhyme…so it's just something all right? Here goes…"
Because today I'm
getting married
You don't know him
You've never met him
But in the past year
I've grown to care for
him…even love him
Yet he will never replace
you in my heart
I still love you
I will never stop
loving you
Your last words to me
where "I love you"
I'm glad I got to hear
it
And I'm glad I got to
say it
Our first and last
kiss came after those words
And then you left this
world
You died in my arms
with a smile on your face
You were never afraid
But in the contrary I
was
I was afraid I
couldn't keep my promise
Not reaching for your
dagger after you died
Was one of the hardest
things I ever had to do
Because when you left
me
I wanted to join you
So we could be together
But you told me to
stay
To be strong
So I'm being strong
I've kept my promise
One day I'll join you
And when that day
comes
But until that day
comes
I'll keep on living
I'm living for the
both of us."
Garnet folded the small
paper, gave it a light kiss and left it in front of the gravestone. As she left
a light breeze went past her. She paused, closed her eyes and smiled. After a
moment she climbed on the rowboat that would take her back to the castle.
The breeze had carried her a
message…"I love you too."
