"Aster" drabbles by VerityAlways

Aster (3/3)

Aster

I wipe my tear that trickles through her cheek in the photo simply because I've never seen her cry.

'I'll also remember you as the Aster born a star to shine somewhere else in your last September, sprinkling happiness sparkles. Though I miss you in every moment, and the void only widens. I'll carry your memory and another to tell you when we meet again. I sculpt your voice, words, touch, smile and laughter, recreating your magic and living cheerfully as you wanted me.

For, Asters mean, take care of yourself for me.'

For you and forever only for you...

Aster

And she says,
Remember me when you eat all the treats, the times we shared and the parade of punchlines painting the house with laughter.
Remember me when we used to walk, with the waves weaving the sand through our toes.
Remember me in the hardest sudoku of your life, but as the waves, keep trying and trying, I'll wait at the shore boosting with the breeze, caressing your hair.
Remember my smile when the tears blur your eyes. Those are for anything but me because I always lived happily. Merrily.

Lastly, remember to take care of yourself for me...'

Aster

(The alarm wails)
She calls,
'V get up!!'
Can't be late! The sheets play merry go-round and a dramatic fall!!
'V you and your Chaplin routine, you're such a mess!'

I head off with the checklist
I double-check, else she will haunt me
Coffee, Flowers, Candy Floss, Salt Treats- Check

A bottle? Nah! I'll be the only drunkard at the end.

She was waiting there for me, she always is...
I finally join her on our spot and hand the bouquet of asters, the vivid colors filling my eyes, savoring her sweet jasmine scent that plagues my mind.
