Trowa-

I understand now, I get it. I can see why you would do everything you did, but you didn’t have to protect me. I can’t help but think that there was something I could have done to help. But it’s useless now, you’re gone, I cant I won’t delude myself about that anymore. It’s time to accept what happened, and move on.

I will never forget you. I will never stop loving you. Death is merely another obstacle to overcome. It was never my wish to survive you. I never expected to live through the war. I will try to live in honor of your memory, my dear friend.

So now I shall close a chapter of my life. It was filled with pain and learning. It will always be a part of me; I can never erase it.

With my undying love and gratitude,

Quatre

Taking one last look at the cream-colored envelope, the blonde bent over to nestle it in the dirt next to the cold gray stone. With tears in his blue-green eyes, Quatre bent down on his knees and leant over to press pink lips against the engraving.

"Goodbye, Trowa." And when the cool breeze ruffled the Arab’s hair, all he felt was the wind, and no ghostly fingers of false humanity. "Goodbye, my love."
