-the bittersweet feeling of looking back on a dead lover

They've always asked me 'What does death feel like? And How does it feel like to meet your doom?' But of course, like any reasonable living being, I've always told them 'I don't know, and if I did... I'd be dead'. That answer (like most) always seemed to make the children at every family gathering frown... but their questions did the same for me. What did it feel like to die? And how would it feel to finally meet my doom? If only I had known that I would one day have the answers. Too bad they came in a way I never expected. I guess a portion of the surprise came from not finding them with a sword at my throat, as that's the only acceptable way to die in a family full of honorable warriors. Sometimes being a warrior child sucks.
