She's quiet this morning, she can't say why
Sends her husband off to work with a kiss goodbye
Ever wonder why First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye took a very fond liking to Edward Elric? And when he first reviled his auto mail arm and leg, she turned away with a sad look in her eye? Or how about every time Colonel Roy Mustang teases Edward about being short, ever notice the soft look in his eye, almost like it hurts him to do this? Like he is only acting and playing along?

Adds another tear to the page
Fifteen years ago, two Lieutenants of the State Military gave into their forbidden feelings and had a secret love. A forbidden love. A love that lasted almost a year. With in that year, they met secretly, loved secretly, and created life secretly. The last months of that one year, were spent shedding, secret tears.
And it's lonely being the only one who knows the truth
She has a secret that she can never tell
A child was created during their love affair. A small boy named Edward. Edward Hawkeye. Bright golden eyes and sunny blonde hair, he was identical to his mother in every way. His personality, of crying for his mother nightly, matched that of his father. But Edward couldn't keep his parents, and so his parents cried, secretly.
One wrong decision still puts her heart through hell
Does he miss her, does he forgive her
Wrapped in a blue blanket, Edward was delivered to an old friend of his father's. A man by the name of Elric took in the small Edward. His wife Trisha raised Edward as her own. Gave him a brother named Alphonse. A new family for the secret love child. Edward grew up believing that where he lived and whom he lived with, was his family. Never knowing of the two Lieutenants who cried secretly every night.
The love that they shared will always be a secret
Only she knows she still loves him, and she hates the choice she made
That same boy risked his life to save his so-called mother. The Lieutenant Colonel received a letter from Edward, looking for his father. The Lieutenant Colonel did not know where Trisha's husband was. So he came. He felt he was obligated to. Apon a hill top, he watched. He watched in secret how his son gave up everything for Trisha. He secretly cringed when he saw his son's condition, and when he was told to go away by Edward's so-called Aunt.
Wishes she could find him and tell him why she walked away
Every day gets harder living with her self
Slowly, the Lieutenant Colonel turned to a Colonel and by his side every day was his 1st Lieutenant. They would watch together their secret love child get beaten up daily by the hardships he was creating to restore his body back to normal, and that of his step-brother Alphonse.
But she knew he'd be better off raised by someone else
God it's lonely, being the only one who knows the truth
Daily, Riza Hawkeye would cry alone in her empty and cold bed. Regretting giving up her only son. Wishing she gave up her career instead. The colonel noticed how his lieutenant suffered daily and snuck a dog into headquarters. A Major then brought the dog, unknown to him, to the designated owner. Riza cared for the dog with much love. The love she could never give her son.
She has a secret that she can never tell
One wrong decision still puts her heart through hell
Roy Mustang watches daily how his lieutenant suffered, day in and day out. Never again will the two share what they shared fifteen years ago. They were forbidden then, and when they broke the rules, they suffered dearly for it. They never again will break the rules, in fear of more heart aches and suffering.
Does he miss her, does he forgive her
The love that they shared will always be a secret
As the days go on, Riza and Roy watch as their son grows older, risks his life. They are proud to know he is strong and able to care for himself. But the fact that Edward will never know the truth, will haunt them and hurt them forever.

A/N- If you look really hard, Edward looks alot like Riza and he does have the same additude as Roy. So please review. Constructive criticism allowed. No flames (Roy is the only person who reserves that right).
