Forever…

Epilogue

by Karumi


Author's note: Here's the epilogue. I had the story all planned a long time ago. This surfaced in my mind as I was writing it.

Garnet stood in front of the gravestone. She had a small paper in her hands.

"Hi…It's been almost 4 years now. I wrote something for you. It was suppose to be a poem; but it doesn't rhyme…so it's just something all right? Here goes…"

I come here to you today
Because today I'm getting married

You don't know him
You've never met him
But in the past year
I've grown to care for him…even love him

Yet he will never replace you in my heart
I still love you
I will never stop loving you

Your last words to me where "I love you"
I'm glad I got to hear it
And I'm glad I got to say it

Our first and last kiss came after those words
And then you left this world

You died in my arms with a smile on your face
You were never afraid
But in the contrary I was

I was afraid I couldn't keep my promise

Not reaching for your dagger after you died
Was one of the hardest things I ever had to do

Because when you left me
I wanted to join you
So we could be together

But you told me to stay
To be strong

So I'm being strong
I've kept my promise

One day I'll join you
And when that day comes Nothing will keep us apart

But until that day comes

I'll keep on living
I'm living for the both of us.


Garnet folded the small paper, gave it a light kiss and left it in front of the gravestone. As she left a light breeze went past her. She paused, closed her eyes and smiled. After a moment she climbed on the rowboat that would take her back to the castle.

The breeze had carried her a message…"I love you too."
