I DO NOT OWN FMA OR 'MEMORIES'
FMA belongs to Hiromu Arakwa. 'Memories' belongs to Within Temptation.

Roy's P.O.V.

They say I'm not allowed to be despondent. Well, I don't care anymore. I can't bear to be happy all the time when you had to go.

Memories, memories
Memories, memories
In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind.

All those lies instigated me to break away from life everywhere else. This one place I feel safe is when I'm asleep, in my dream world, where I venerate you, where we're still together, and you'd say that we'll be together forever.

Everyone thinks that I'm resilient, that I'll bounce right back to being myself again. I have news for them. That's not gonna happen anytime soon.

There's no other way
I prayed to the Gods, let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why.

In retrospect, I knew that it wasn't gonna last forever, but I didn't want to believe it. It's the pain that I feel that brings me to my feet everyday, wanting to forget our past relationship; wanting to get away from everything that reminds me of you, but that doesn't happen very often.

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here.

I'm thinking of leaving this world, giving my body to Central to experiment on; anything to get back to you.

All of my memories keep you near.

I can still hear your whispers; I can still see your tears.

Your silent whispers, silent tears.

You always knew what to say; what to do; what to know. I can't stress enough how much you've meant to me.

Make me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life.

I couldn't find my way back after you left. My mind left me when you did, and I can't get over the fact that you're gone.

I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay
Reminds me again it's worth it all

My heart can't take much more of this torture. It can't do what others' can. Its being isn't gonna last much longer.

So I can go home
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here.

My mind isn't like what yours used to be. It can't deal with the depression that your death brought along with it.

All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

I vaguely see your smile in my mind when I'm dreaming or thinking too hard. Every time I see it, you tell me to lay off everything and relax; that I'm working too hard on everything. I end up talking to you.

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear.

I can't take it anymore. I shout out to you, as if you could hear me if I screamed loud enough, "Darling, you know I'll love you till the end of time!"

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
All of my memories.

I begin to cry for the fifth time today. Two months wasn't long enough to forget you.

Edward's P.O.V.

"I won't ever forget you, Roy. I don't want you to forget me either. I relieve some of your pain by visiting you every night in your dreams. I want you to know that nothing will keep us away from each other, although this does throw a wrench in the path. I promise to see you everyday until the day you die. Only then I hope we have the rest of our afterlife together." I begin to tear up a little as I watched the Connell sob for me. I blink hard as I hold onto myself and turn away.

"It's time to let go of me Connell. I'm dead, and I need you to accept it. I'm sorry, but I wish I could've told you how I really felt," and I walked away, back into the black clouds that hold my new home in the sky above everyone that I care about. "I just want you to cherish the memories that we share."
