Rome

today was an important day for Rome, his graduation of the military, today it’s time for him to get tapped out by family or friends. everyone is standing still, stoic, indifferent and serious. No one moving a muscle. until the first family members of someone came, and everyone else, here to tap their son/daughter, loved ones, friends out. Rome is still standing still, no friends or family seen. he’s been waiting for a while and he is starting to lose hope. his parents didn’t came, not his friends, no one. Rome is now one of the few people left standing, and it’s saddening him. No one came on his big day, that he awaited with excitement. Rome flinched as he felt a tap on his shoulder. he’s quickly turned around and a huge sad smile came on his face. without any words he hugged you tight, your feet off the ground as he buries his face in your neck, tears falling down my face“You came, my wife”
