In A Field Of Flowers (Sonadow)

Love found in a flower field

Shadow's P.O.V

In a flower field I stood next to you.... The one I thought I would never love... the one I fight with day and night... but here I am standing next to you... a hand in yours as we stood watching the sun rise.

It felt right to feel the warmth of the sun on my face while hearing the butterflies and bees wake up around the flower field. The sound of the calm winds brush past my ears as I stand here next to you.... I never felt happy in my life until now.... But that changed... 7 years ago..

7 years ago

Smoke.... Filled my lungs as I looked over at you... your face showed fear... your green emerald eyes showed sadness... that's when you let go of my hand and raced off towards the smoke....

That was the last time I felt you in my arms.... Close to me.... That was the last time I saw you smile.... The last words you said.... All of it was gone...

I raced after you but my run didn't last long.... As the smoke burned my lungs but I had to help you.... To make sure you were safe...

I looked around only to see fire.... It was a forest fire... I saw you run past me in a blur with buckets of water. How you got the buckets was a mystery... just like you... I helped put the fire out as it was nothing but ash...

I smiled at the job we did while going over to you.... But there was something wrong. I know you tried to hide it but I saw through it....

I tried to ask if your okay but you give the same response

"I'm fine, love... no need to worry about me" You said to me

But I always worried about you. That was one thing I did... but I just nodded and smiled at you before going to take your hand in mine but your grip was weak... I looked at you in fear as your legs shook and you hit the ground....

My eyes widened as I immediately picked you up and raced you to the hospital... many minutes they took you away from me...

I had to wait to hear if you were going to be okay.... I was worried about you.... But I had to wait... so I did...

In a few hours they called me back and told me about you.... It was the worst news I heard... I followed them to the room to see you... laying on the bed helpless looking for help... I went to your side and immediately hugged you....

"You're alright, everything will be okay... why don't we go to our flower field? The one where you told me you loved me.... The one where we don't have to worry?" I asked you only to get no response as tears started to form in my eyes as I saw your life drain from your eyes....

I gently picked you up and started to walk out of the hospital to the field of flowers... every step I took felt like life was leaving you faster than I can walk...

Once at the field I set you down as I sat next to you... I held you close as we both watched the day turn to night.... The day I cried when I felt your body grow cold.... The day I will never forget you.... The day where the field of flowers went silent... the day I lost you....

Before I knew it I was standing around you... I felt every emotion leave my body but sadness... I stood looking at you... as your friends all cried from the loss of you.... The loss of a hero... a friend..... a lover.... I watched as everyone said goodbye.... But I said nothing... no words left my lips.... No tears left my eyes...

I watched as they set you in the ground..... I watched them bury you.... I watched everyone leave in tears.... Until it was just you and me...

I stood there as I read the carved writing in the concrete above your head... I read it more than once... I read it to remind me that you..... are gone... gone from the world... gone from me... not to come back... not to hug me... not to kiss me... not you say you love me.... You were gone... you are at rest... and I watched it all... I held you when you took your last breath.... I looked at your grave as I said nothing.... Before walking off...

I walked to the field of flowers where we always were... together... I laid on the ground as I looked at the clear blue sky as tears formed in my eyes.... I didn't stop them... I was hurt.... I was alone... you were not here to comfort me.... That was the last time I saw you...

I sat up as I noticed one lavender sitting right in front of me... I gently grabbed it as I felt the cold stem... and the smooth but rough petals... I gently pulled my hand away from the flower...

"This is no longer my home.... This is ours... it is time to leave it and let it be in peace..." I told myself as I stood on my feet and turned and slowly walked off... I left.... leaving the field of flowers... and you in peace...

The End
