I put the flowers down beside you; it really suits you, you know? Even though I know you’d object to it, I still think you look good with it. I do it every year.
It’s been a long time. I wonder if you miss me, too, but I won’t find out. I can only sit here and hope you still remember me.
Asami was devastated when she learnt the news. I think she went to confront the Equalists with just the electric gloves; I should have known, she’s so much stronger than she looks.
I haven’t seen her since.
Meelo was upset that his “beautiful woman” was gone. It was one of the few moments that I can say that I smiled. But he got better over time as he grew up. He looks just like how the Aang statue was, minus the tattoos. I never knew Ikki could ever have a serious side: she’s just like Jinora now. I guess they had to find a way to cope after Tenzin got de-bended and taken away. I guess he had a reason to lose his temper and himself after the Equalists attacked Pema and made her have a miscarriage.
Somehow, Bolin managed to maintain in control enough to be useful. Contacted Lin at the first chance, got the airbender kids and Pema out of Republic City, and he even metalbended Naga onto the airship after I forgot about her. I felt so guilty about that; I was probably too despondent to others, thinking only about you. I guess that’s why Bolin had to do all the hard work. We went to the Kyoshi Peninsula, welcomed by an aged Ty Lee; somehow, she still managed to look energetic in her eighties.
Once we were safe, Bolin broke down. I comforted him; I had to, for all the things he’d done. He was far, far worse than what he was like when he saw us kiss. So I kissed him. I wonder, would you cry melodramatically like he did when he saw our kiss?
Ever since, each year I’d come to Republic City secretly with Naga to visit you. Pabu caught us the first time we tried, but we learnt our lesson from the second year and onwards. I never got questioned, but I felt that everyone knew what I was doing; especially Ty Lee, she is just like Katara.
I kiss the stone gently, telling myself that it is to make me feel less guilty about getting together with Bolin. But maybe, just maybe, it’s also trying to just let myself drown in the reminiscence of our kiss, your soft lips pressing tightly against mine as we embraced each other in a world where only us existed. Do you… do you really know how I feel? Part of me tells me that it’s futile, that you won’t ever know; but the other part tells me that you’re watching me from the spirit world.
It’s been ten years since you died, Mako.

Yeah, I know it's kind of corny and the word choice and grammar aren't too perfect (I think they all make sense at least), but I wrote this on a whim and every time I change something it seems kind of out of place.
I also know a lot of the middle is unrelated to Korra and Mako but it's needed otherwise the piece would be way too short and too sweet like diabetes. It also makes the reader kind of sad, so it's not exactly a waste of space.
