I'm not really sure where this came from. But here it is.

Did you watch me, love? I watched you. You soared for a brief moment upon feathered wing. But the sun blinded you and you fell to the ground in a blaze of feathers and blood. The onlookers sighed, shook their heads and muttered, "Oh he should have been more careful." Your fall, my love, was recorded in history. They all tell the story of Icarus, the beautiful, the sad boy.
My story is not told. I swam the depths of the ocean for years before I glimpsed you in the air, right above the surface of my watery home. In your flight, no one noticed the pretty little fish as she jumped out of the abyss to catch a kiss from a falling angel. No one noticed her land on the rock she had been too distracted to see. No one noticed her fight for breath as you fell from glory.

This is too cool! I may have to do some thinking on it. But it has my favorite elements of a story. It is tragic, but well written, and makes death something beautiful. Love it. Love you! 6212!!!
