I'm Sorry

Ed says sorry


Edstood on the edge of the hotel roof, looking down at the bright lights ofCentralspread out all around him. It never failed to make him feel small, and insignificant. Like riding a rollercoaster, without the movement. He looked down at the piece of impersonal white paper in his hand. On it, he had poured out all his thoughts and feelings, but when it came to giving them to her, he couldn't. So now, he was stood on the highest place he could find, trying to clear his head, and stop all the conflicting feelings rushing through his mind.

'I'm sorry, Winry.

I try so hard not to let it get to me, but it does.

I've made so many mistakes in my life.

Some weren't my fault, but most of them were.

I pushed you away, when all I wanted to do was hold you close.

I said no, when what I really meant was yes.

I hid away, when I wanted to tell you everything.

I couldn't handle my feelings for you, with all everything else.

I felt so much for you I couldn't cope.

You saw, you understood, and still, I didn't let you in.

And now, when at last I'm ready, you're gone.

I'm too late.

You waited so long for me,three endless years.

There were so many moments when I could have stopped it

When I cupped your cheek

When I smiled

When I let you sit beside me

When I listened to you cry

When I told you you were beautiful

When I held your arm to cross the street

When I found you at that overpass

When I heard you had someone else

When I spoke so cold and harsh

When I said I had you

When I said I need you

When I almost said I want you

When I told you no

But I was stupid.

I let you get away.

And now, I've lost you.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry Winry.

I love you. I know I love you.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for making you hurt so much.

That was my fault.

That was a mistake I will never forget.

I'm sorry.'

The words were so black against the white paper. It made the whole world seem black and white, instead of the dull shades of grey that, in truth, he knew it to be. In a second, he knew exactly what to do. It was a thought with such clarity as he had never had before.

With swift, practiced fingers, he rolled the paper into a ball and threw it as far as he could. The wind caught it, and, for a fleeting second, it danced. Then, as all things thrown upwards, it fell to the ground.

Edstepped back off the edge and left the building as fast as he could.

He got a train ticket and went to Resembol, a three day ride. This was enough time for him to think, enough time to gather the courage he needed.


Ed stood there as time passed. He had made it to Resembol and was now standing infront of Winry's house. He didn't move and inch. His heart was beating twice as fast. His fists were in tight balls at his side. 'What will Winry think? Will she forgive me?' His mind raced at the speed of light.

With a swift movement, he walked to the door and knocked. No one answered. Not a sound was heard from inside. Ed sighed. He was about to turn around when someone unlocked the front door. He tensed. The door opened and a women looked out.

"Ed? Ed!" The women cryed and latched onto him. He felt his shirt getting soaked by tears. As of reflex, his arms tightned around the figure.

"I'm sorry Winry. I'm so sorry."

"Oh Ed! I forgive you!" She looked up with tear filled eyes. She smiled.

Ed pulled Winry towards him, kissed her gently and pulled away. "I love you." He said.

Winry stared at him wide eyed. She had waited years for him to say that to her, and now, he was telling her that he loved her.Winry felt like she was going to faint any second. But she didn't. Instead, she smiled at him. "I love you too." She said, before the two shared another kiss.
