Tifa's p.o.v:
I saw her pass by again. Aerith always walks by, flowers in a little basket and a cart usually pushed by Zach. And I always sat in the window and watched her, waving if she saw me. Occasionally she'd come in, putting flowers in a vase for my office or Cloud's office or the bedrooms. She was always so innocent, so pure.
And I love her to death.
Yes, I'll admit it, I fell in love with the flower girl. Which on a funny side will make wedding planning a bit easier. The hard part is telling her that when she has no idea I like her. I'm sure I'll be able to tell her, and hopefully it won't be too awkward. But the day came, and I found enough courage to tell her my feelings.
Aerith seemed confused for a few moments, then her confused expression slowly washed away and a smile spread to her face. Lighting up her eyes to the point I thought rainbows were held inside. She always seemed so happy and so content with being everyone's friend. And then she leaned in and kissed me, and for a moment my world wasn't so bleak.
My dreams had finally come true.
Now I sit in the same window, but there's no joy to be had. A tear rolls down my face, silent while I recall her joyous presence upon this planet. The light in her eyes will never fade from my heart. I still love her, as I always have. And I will continue to love her, as she loved everyone.
And the ribbon will never leave my arm.
