     Every Spring to Bloom Again.


 I saw Key again tonight and I guess this is sort of a wish-fic
in a way although the ending is hazy. Perhaps this is true.
 Perhaps it isn't.

 N.A Sinclair.




  It's been two weeks now and they tell me I was dead.
 I don't remember being dead.
 I don't remember anything at all - except in dreams.
 I know I dream and I think that I remember something then but it is
 gone, itself fading to memory as I open my eyes.
 When I look in the mirror I feel as though a familiar stranger is
standing
 in front of me.
 When I move my hand the woman in the mirror moves hers...but it's not me.
 - or at least I don't think so.
 I think I see a man's face sometimes. A friendly face looking at me but I
 can never tell whether it is with adoration or with love.
 I wish I could name him.
 I think if I did I could love him to.

  They tell me I went through a great ordeal and I am lucky.
 I sit in my bed and feel the sun and hear the songs of birds.
 I want to sing but somehow I'm afraid of my voice when it comes out.
 I see the doctor 3 times a day and the nurse 5.
 I have never had a visitor.

 A girl walked in my room today.
 She was thin and although she should have had the awkwardness of youth
 she didn't. She moved with a strong and gentle grace, her arms filled
 with roses.

 I knew her but the words of joy were blocked by others...another's words.

  "Who are you?" I asked in my strangers voice while in my heart I called
 to her.

  "Key." she said. "I'm Key."


   I knew her and smiled.


                              *FIN*
