Steve smiled softly as he kneeled at the memorial, years of neglect having taken their toil on the lettering. He could barely make out the name in the ganite, James Barnes. He wiped away a tear, and placed the medal down, just below the name, "Happy birthday Bucky... I miss you like crazy." He whispered, taking in a shaky breath. He began to hum the beginning to a tune he once heard, it reminded him of his friend.

"Leaves from the vine, falling so slow. Like fragile, tiny shells, drifiting in the foam. Little soldier boy, come marching home..." His voice cracked, and the tears spilled over his cheeks as he pressed his head to the cool granite, sobs racking his body. "Brave, soldier boy... Comes marching home."

He tried to stand, but felt his knees buckle beneath him, and he fell to the ground, salty tears making trails down his face. "Come home Bucky... Please, come home."
