Spirit of My Heart


Dong…Dong…Dong….

With the ringing of the bell, the funeral begins.

Funeral. I have attended many funerals in my life. Some are my friends', some are my relatives'. And I have heard of many funerals before, mourning, weeping and crying.

I always ask myself, 'What is the meaning of funeral?' To let others know who died, or just a last goodbye to our beloved ones? If the latter is the answer, then when all the people are gone, where did the spirit go? I find the answer when I see him, the fairy under the maple tree.

That year I was twenty-five years old, and I was as what I am doing now, attending a funeral. I didn't cry, though who died was my beloved and respected teacher, but who knows my heart was weeping much harder than anyone.

Everyone was gone, leaving me alone in the graveyard, facing my teacher's grave. I knelt down. Suddenly, I felt a cold breeze, and when I look back, I saw the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life.

A fairy, that was my first impression of him, though a fairy should be more cheerful. He was standing under a golden maple tree, smiling at me. It seemed so unreal, but I knew it was not a dream.

I walked towards him slowly, as if he would fade away. And then we met.

We sat down on the golden and talked. Though this should be the first time we met each other, we seemed to be long old friends. I knew I could trust him, and I poured out all my feelings to him, both sadness and joy. We talked about many things, family, friends and job. He told me he was a student, but when I asked him why he was here in the graveyard, he didn't answer.

I liked his smile. His smile could grab your heart, so as his amber eyes. He looked at you as if he could see through you. All your feelings were uncovered, but I don't care. I don't mind letting him know the true side of me. To be frank, I am even a bit pleased.

The sun had gone down and I had to go. I said good bye to him and left, but he grabbed my sleeve. I took his hand, hold it up, and kissed it.

"We can see each other tomorrow," I said. I smiled and turn away.

The next day I went to the graveyard, but found no signs of him. Maybe he was busy?

Time flew by and a week had gone, still no signs of him.

My life was back to normal. I was back to the mean, ironic person that everybody feared.

The fairy had just walked passed my life.

Five years later, I had to attend a funeral, and I was back in the graveyard, back to the place we encountered. It was fall again and the leaves of the maple tree fell down gradually. I sat down on the leaves and I'd touched something hard. I removed the leaves on top of it, a grave.

And on the grave, I found his name, Yukimura Seichi.

From then, I have never went to that graveyard again, but no matter how many years fly by, I will never forget that day, and he, will forever be

the spirit of my heart.
