Farewell, my love...

By: spbulma

Someone once said: "Nothing lasts forever..." maybe he said it before I fell in love with you...

I honestly have no idea how it happened. All I remember is telling myself what a gorgeous girl she was, and then, like to day, she falls for me, and next thing I know, I have a kid, a wife, a home, a life... can you believe that?

It took me some time to accept, but I am a changed man. And, even though in the beggining it was a huge mess (or at least I thought so), slowly I learned it was me who was messed up; and I tried to give everything a second chance when my beautiful daughter, Bra, was born. Yes, although I have changed, and everything is so different...

Something stays the same. After so many years, I still don't have the courage to tell Bulma how I feel about her...

You may think, "How ironic! this guy has guts to blow up a planet, but can't tell a woman how much he loves her". Well, maybe it's because I didn't know we would last so long, or maybe you don't know the magnitude of these three words...

But, today, it's going to be different. I know she knows... but I bet she doesn't expect a surprise like this...!

As I fly closer to Capsule Corp., I feel something heavy in the enviroment; then I get a closer look...

My God...

I see them all: Trunks, Bra, Gohan, Videl, Kakarot...

The ambulances, the horror in their faces...

I quickly land and practically run closely to them, and I was about to ask Trunks what happened, when suddenly, I look at her direction...

She was in one of those beds paramedics use, and she was pale, and cold, her hair hung lifelessly over her shoulders...

I felt my whole world go to waste. Someone tell me this is a nightmare...

A terrorizing silence hung in the air. Someone say something! I looked at the only thing I had left: my children. But they were in some state of shock; I glanced over at Kakarot; who was tear-stricken, and this is when I knew...

One of the medics walked up to me; "I'm sorry, sir... I'm so sorry..."

A total stranger told me 40 years of my life worth living had ended...

I walked up to where she rested peacefully, and placed my hand on her forehead; I closed my eyes and felt how hot tears fell down my face. Then, I whispered the words that I yearned all my life to say...

"I love you..."
