Lost Connections

I regret my previous actions, and the decisions I made, and nothing can be done about that now. My arrogance brought about her downfall…I lost sight in what was important, but then I don't think I had the knowledge I do now. It's almost been 6 years since the incident back home. She had a strong sense of justice that I do not possess still to this day. For that I hold great respect for her, and her bravery and willingness to stand up to most anything. After the war, I found myself constantly looking in space and thinking about her, and what happened before her life came to a close. It pains me to think I could live on without her. She had much to teach me, that which I could not learn in books. Once, she told me that the things I could not learn in books I must learn through fighting to survive and see another day. Yet above all that, there was one thing I couldn't understand…a missing piece to the puzzle…
"I'm still searching, Meilan…" I said twirling the flower and letting it drop on the grave before me, "And I haven't found a single clue…" I walked away, placing my hands in my pockets as my feet trudged through the snow-covered flower fields.
