And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

Colonel Roy Mustang stared at the fresh grave. His mind torn over the thoughts of what happened the day before. He never wanted one of his subordinates to go before him…Though it seemed fate had a way of biting a person in the butt.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

He couldn't stand what had happened. "Why couldn't I have made it in time?" He asked himself, staring with anger in his eyes at which of his subordinates had been killed in action.

He felt lost without the first lieutenant at his side; helping him reach his goal of becoming fuhrer. With her gone, it seemed that he would never reach it. There was no one there to push him on; keep him on task.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

The tombstone read:

Riza Hawkeye

Age 22

Died in combat

Will be sorely missed by all;

A great soldier, officer, owner and friend.

Roy sighed, and turned to head back to the headquarters. His other subordinates had already turned back; all had turned out for the funeral. They all brandished the same black sash across their uniforms; stating one of their own had been lost.

First Lieutenant Hawkeye was his closest subordinate. She was always there, directing him towards his goal. Protecting him during heated battles; especially the day before; when the bullet had torn through her, and not him. Her dedication to her commanding officer caused her to take the bullet; he was able to live on to reach his goal, though without her.

He continued walking, wishing he had gotten to know the lieutenant better. He knew the other subordinates; but she was different. She always kept her past hidden, and was always very formal at the office. Hawkeye always saw the Colonel as someone who was very determined to reach his goal; much like Edward Elric. Colonel Roy Mustang wanted Riza Hawkeye to know him for who he was outside of the formalities of the military.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
