Forever I will lie here awaiting for you to come and take me away. Your soft blond hair, short, in that military style. Those brown eyes, like the dirt under your feet as you stood there, on that battle field, protecting me. Even if I never ever let anyone in. Even if I never let anyone know. Even if I'll never let anyone take your place. I will never forget, Olden.
I will never forget the way you ran my near dead body back to the imfirmary tent. You stood over me, holding tightly the wound on my left shoulder and covering the wound on my heart. It hurt. My heart hurt....
You stayed with me until I recovered, and you confessed your love to me. Right there, infront of my sister and brother, too. I remember telling the nurse that I could get up and walk around because my heart felt a whole lot better. That nurse, gray hair and blind, smiled, and looked a bit younger. She just nodded, and left the two of us alone, dragging my siblings along with her. You stared into my eyes and I stared into yours. We had held hands, and shared out first kiss...
"Olden..." I hear myself whisper, the tall grass shielding me away from the world about me, like a wall. Swaying in the wind, I hear the many blades rubbing together, a sort of hissing sound.
"Olden..." A shock of pain runs throug my body, and my breath shortens. I roll on my side, staring at the ground before slowly closing my eyes. My hand moves to where he had put his so long ago. Before I know it, there are these flashes before my eyes, guns, bombs, a giant battle field. I can see many bodies wounded, the enemy is still shooting, I'm in the midst of it, standing over a strange girl I don't know.
I'm suddenly in the infirmary with this black haired girl, holding her wounds with my bare hands... that are male. I'm seeing things as Olden. Suddenly I see Olden and the black haired girl together in her room, she's trying to get him to kiss her but he pushes her away, and slaps her. The image fades, and I see Olden with another girl in the infirmary. The black hair girl runs in, the nurse with the gray hair merely stands there a moment, I see the gun the black haired girl is carrying and the nurse walks out. Olden stands, a scared look on his face as the black haired girl pulls the trigger, shooting the girl in the bed, then shooting Olden...
This all happened so fast but within the blink of an eye, I'm back in the grass, tears rolling down my face, mixing with the dirt and making mud stains on my cheeks. My hand is clutching my shirt over my heart, and it's shaking. I can't stop it.
"Olden..." I whisper with the grass, "My... my heart.... it hurts...."
The ground soaks up my tears thirstily as I sob, lying here... waiting for you.
