The person I wish I could be.

Goodbyes

There have been so many instances where Leah has said goodbye, whether by choice or tragedy. As she stares into her fireplace watching the orange and red flames lick the walls of the chimney, she recalls some of the losses.

Dear friends, lost in battle.
Her only family, lost in war.
Her partners, taken away.

Leah's life isn't fair. She hates it. She hates saying goodbye to keep people safe. She hates saying goodbye to people she wants to be with. She hates distancing herself from the world to keep it safe.

The truth is, this is what Leah's life is now. Goodbyes and tragedy.

But then there's the good, the friends who visit form travels of magic, the neighbors who give Leah a chance to feel normal. The memories from before the dark times. Perhaps you'd like to know what happened to cause all this loss.

You see, Leah has lost so many people,
         she's too good at goodbyes.
