You were Meant for Me
I hear the clock, it's 6 A.M.,
I feel so far away from where I've been.
I got my eggs, got my pancakes, too.
Got my maple syrup, ev'rything but you.
I break the yolks and make a smiley face;
I kinda like it in my brand new place.
Wipe the spots above the mirror;
Don't leave the keys in the door.
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore, 'cause
Edward yawned as the clock buzzed and he lazily looked at the clock. It blinked 6 A. M. He barely recognized the new room that he moved into not just two days ago. He sat up and felt out of place and far away from home. He rubbed the sleep out of his amber eyes. Edward got up and made himself eggs. He broke the eyes lazily and his heart fell down to his stomach.
He got up and threw the eggs, being unable to eat. He then went and took a shower. He washed his hair and enjoyed the warm water hitting his face. After he finished scrubbing the suds off of himself he went to the mirror. He took his left hand and whipped the steam away; looking at himself. He sighed and dried off. He hung the towel, not throwing it on the floor like he used to at his old home. There was no one there to help him clean up anymore.
He dressed for work in a blue military uniform, dried and braided his hair. He goes to the door and put on his blue military coat. The closed the door, locking it and made sure he took the keys with him. No one to take them after him.
Dreams last so long,
Even after you're gone.
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me,
And I was meant for you.
Edward walked into the office. He was now the Colonel and Roy was a General. He sighed as he sat in his chair to be greeted with 2 piles of paper work. He stared at the paper work and started to sign them. After a while he got too hot and so he took off his coat. Al...I loved you. Why? He thought as he worked through his paper work.
He thought of how Al left with Winry after Al had no more use for him. I thought you loved me. Ed frowned at the last paper and sighed it. He then added it to the Out pile. He then leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling. I love you, Al. You said you loved me, but you left me. Don't you see we're meant for each other?
I called my momma, she was out for a walk.
Consoled a cup of coffee, but it didn't wanna talk.
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news.
More hearts being broken or people being used.
Put on my coat in the pouring rain.
I saw a movie, it just wasn't the same.
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
And it made me miss you, oh, so bad.
Ed tried calling Mrs. Hughes to ask how she was doing, but there was no answer. He glared at the steaming cup of coffee in front of him. "Evil tasting caffeinated..." Edward growled at it, but he guessed it didn't feel like talking. He sighed and picked up the newspaper; only to see more depressing news. More lives gone, more hearts broken, and more used military dogs. It started raining as he read the paper.
As he left for his break he put his coat on outside in the rain. He didn't really care if he got wet or not. Since he got done with his work early, he decided to go see a new movie at the local theater. The movie was happy and he was sad. It only made him miss his brother more. He got up and left back for the office.
Dreams last so long,
Even after you're gone.
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me,
And I was meant for you.
He looked at the picture of them altogether a year after Al had finally gotten his body back. He frowned sadly and put the picture in the lower drawer that was rarely opened. Didn't you see Alphonse? Didn't you know we were meant for each other? He thought as his day ended and he went to walk home. He waved goodbye to Riza as he passed her in the hall she smiled sadly at him.
Go about my bus'ness, I'm doing fine.
Besides, a-what would I say if I had you on the line?
Same old story not much to say,
Hearts are broken ev'ry day.
The days went by and slowly Edward went into a routine. He was as fine as he could be. He got a call from Al. He talked briefly, using the excuse that he was busy. Which only worried Al. After all hearts are broken every day, Al. Edward thought as he finished up his paper work.
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on.
I know you hate it when I leave the light on.
I pick a book up and then I turn the sheets down,
And then I take a deep breath and a good look around.
Put on my pj's and hop into bed.
I'm half alive, but I feel mostly dead.
I try and tell myself it'll be all right,
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight.
He brushed his teeth in his bathroom. He rinsed out the remaining toothpaste and put on the cap. The turned off the bathroom light as he left the bathroom in his boxers. He picked up a book and turned on the light in the bedroom, pushing the sheets down. He took a breath and looked around, putting the book on the bed. He gets in his pajamas. He felt half-alive, but mostly dead as he crawled into bed. He covers up, and leans against the fluffy pillows.
I shouldn't think any more tonight. He thought, as he got absorbed into the thick book. Trying to be okay after his brother abandoned him.
Dreams last so long,
Even after you're gone.
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me,
And I was meant for you.
He turns off the light after an hour, putting the book on a bed stand next to a picture of Al and him, smiling happily. You'll see sooner or later, Al. He thought as he drifted off to sleep. You were meant for me and I was meant for you.
Yeah, you were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
