12: Natsu

At home I kicked off my shoes and laid lazily down on my bed. I can't seem to get her sorrow filled expressions out of my head. Her note at hand, I wondered if I'm to open it. Contemplating, whether or not I should read her private note. After a few moments I took a deep breath, unfolded it and read.

A fallen promise

By: Lucy Heartfilia

A promise

Pinky swear

Friends forever!

But than he vanished

Before my eyes

And -ever turns to never.

I have been waiting

On his arrival

Yet there's always another...

Empty tomorrow.

And as a duckling

Transformed into a swan

I've been drowning in my sorrow.

Than he came along,

With an up way curve

My tears began to dry.

After years he too left me

Alone at a crossroads

Begging to die.

Refilling my mind

With a remembrance

A foolish prayer.

That he'll return, someday

To a fallen promise

A pinky swear.

November, 17th.

That little sad girl. The promise that I have made, had been to Lucy all along. She hadn't forgotten about me or our promise. However am I to confess? It's not like I can walk up to her and say: 'Hey Lucy, remember me? We've made a promise to stay friends forever.' She'll most likely reshape my face or worse put me in a hospital bed with hundreds of broken bones.
