One Sweet Day
By Aeris
-Sorry I never told you,
All I wanted to say-
Aeris sat at her desk, her eyes puffy from crying. It had already
been a weeka whole week since she had seen that awful
headline in the paper. It had saidit said her worst
nightmare had come true. And she was still broken over it
why did he have to gothere was so much we had to look forward toso muchI hadn't told him'
-And now it's too late to hold you,
Cause you've flown away, so far away-
A tear fell from her eye, and landed on her letter paper. Her eyes narrowed in thought for a moment, before she picked up a pen and began to write
My Dearest Sephiroth
-Never had I imagined,
Living without your smile-
My love, I know you've gonegone far away, to the Promised Land, to heaven
-Feelin', knowin' you hear me,
It keeps me alive, alive-
Butthere was so much I had yet to tell you. And that's why I'm writing you this letter.
-And I know you're shining down on me from heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way-
You know I love you. Even after you've passed on, I still love you with all my heart, all my soulwith all my being. And I miss youI miss your shining aquamarine eyes, your flowing silver hairI miss you, all of you, and I wish you were here again
-And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven.-
You were always so charming to me, Seph I can still remember meeting you three years agoI was in high school then, and so were you. Both our schools were against each other in that basketball game, and I went to watch. I saw you on the court, beating the living Holy out of our team. I remember when you caught me staring at you, and then you smiled and winked at meI knew I was blushing by then
-Darlin' I never showed you,
Assummed you'd always be there-
You had captured my heart at that moment, my pulse was bouncing like the ball you held in your hand. And then we went on our first dateI remember like it was yesterday. We went to see that play Loveless' at that theater on the upper plate. Everything about you just amazed meit was then that I saw your eyes.
-I take your prayers for granted,
But I always cared,
And I miss the love we shared.-
Your beautiful eyesthey mesmerized me so. I felt as if I could just drown in those two sparkling pools.
We grew closer and closer, and we had our first kiss. It was so blissful for meI had never known such a sense of peace, locking lips with you, your strong arms around me, our eyes closedI never wanted it to end.
-And I know you're shining down on me from heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the
way.
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven.-
Thenafter we both graduated, you decided to join SOLDIER. I never understood quite whybut it made you happy, so I didn't complain. How was I to know it would be the end of you
Aeris dropped her pen, got up from her desk abruptly, and ran to her bed, collapsing on her pillow. She let the tears fall as they came; free and uncontrolled.
-Although the sun would never shine,
I'll always wish for a brighter day.-
Sobbing, she sat up, picking up the frame set on her dresser, next to her bed. In it was the pictureof her and Sephiroth
Oh, darlingI miss you so much'
Standing once again, venturing over to her desk, Aeris collected herself and dried her tears with her sleeve. She then looked down at what she had writtenand after a minute of recollection, she sat down again and picked her pen up.
-Lord when I lay me down to sleep,
You will always listen as I pray-
Just days before you got that damned mission, you had asked me a questionyou asked me to be your wife. I said yesoh, Sephiroth, you'll never know how happy you made me at that moment. My dream had come trueonly to be broken down again. We'll never know life together, will we? I'll never know the joy of waking up beside you each and every day, content in your strong arms. The ShinRa took that dream away from us
-And I know you're shining down on me from heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the
way.
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day-
but it doesn't mean our dream won't come true. Wait for me, my lovebecause I know I'll be joining you soon. The Planet has spoken to me againJenova is awakening, setting out to destroy it. It told methat I am the only one to save it. And it would mean sacrificing myself. AndI'm more than happy to. I'll save the Planetand join you in heaven. It's only a matter of time
I love you dearly my Sephiroth, my angel. You're forever in my heart.
Love, your flower girl, Aeris
Aeris set her pen down, and folded the letter up. She didn't quite know where to put it, so she decided to keep it with her. She would find the place when it was time, she knew that much
~*~
"Aeris!"
Cloud jumped up the steel pillars leading to the altar. She was in dangerhe had to get her out of there before
She looked up. A black shadow was closing in, fast. And it came to land behind her, its blade slicing through her back, to exit through her stomach, sending blood across the floor.
-... I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven.-
I'll wait for you'
The last thing she felt was Masamune being pulled from her middle, before she collapsed, eyes closing and heart stopping forever. Three things left her body in the process her spirit, her Materia, and her letterthe letter wafted to the ground like a feather, landing at Sephiroth's feet
-Sorry I never told you, all I wanted to say-
Don't ask why I chose this songI'm so not a fan of Mariah Carey; I can't stand her songs. However, I do like Boyz2Men. And I picked this song due to the lyricsit just soo went with the songfic I was searching to write. I know I cut Aeris' death scene short too, but you all know how it went.
Please review? Arigatou! ^-^ Stay tuned for the next part in this, from Sephy's POV!
