It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something barrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand

~Mai and Naru's wedding night~

It's been two weeks since she turned eighteen. Finally, she was married to her high school sweetheart. Kazuya Shibuya aka Naru was now her husband. To her it was hard to believe that she was finally married.

However, there was something that dampened her spirits. Her new husband was a military man and he had to go off to war. She didn't want that to happen.

"Hey. Everything's going to be alright." Naru told his wife.

"But you're going to war. How can everything be alright? I wish you didn't have to go off. What if you never come back?" Mai worried.

"Don't worry I have everything planned for us. I will come back I promise." Naru adamantly told her.

"You promise?" questioned Mai.

"Promise." Naru told her.

~Two weeks later, Naru and Mai's house~

Mai heard the knock on her door. She was excited. 'Maybe Naru's back,' was what she thought.

However, when she opened the door, she got the surprise of her life. It was her husband's commanding officer. "Is there a problem, sir?" Mai questioned.

All the man did was hand her an envelope. "I'm sorry ma'am." It was what he said that frightened Mai. What could have happened to Naru?

The letter told her everything:

Dear Mrs. Shibuya,

We're sorry to inform you that your husband, Kazuya Shibuya, was killed in action. We were grateful for his service in our regime. He truly was one of the best soldiers around. However, when he went into save his own comrades, the enemy ambushed him and he was killed. We are offering condolescences.

Sincerely,

The Army Officers.

All she could do was cry. 'He promised. He promised. How could he just die like that?' Was what was going through Mai's mind.

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

"Why?! Why?! Why did he have to leave me? He promised to come back." Mai continued to cry. "Why did he have to go?"

She continued to her husband's funeral service. Her veil was down, effectively hiding her tears.

"Can this just be a dream?" was her last thought.

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

When she entered the church the preacher told everyone to bow their heads and pray for Naru's precious soul. "Please Lord take this poor soul and let him enter into your heavenly kingdom."

After the prayer everyone stood up and sang for a lost brother. 'This song is so sad.' Mai thought as she continued to cry even harder.

The military band came in and handed her the flag of the country and the box of his ashes. She continued to think of all the great times they had and the times that will never happen. Then the guns of the military shot out and to Mai it felt like someone was shooting at her heart.

Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah

She just stood at her husband's casket and could just cry at the thought that Naru will never come home. She still thought that this was just a dream.
