Henry had a few things to say to her. Notes: Henry's PoV BUT everything I've written is what Henry says out loud. You don't hear his thoughts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
... No. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Just a little nervous. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her. .... Yeah, she is special. I’ve wanted to tell her for a long time but... well... you know what I mean, right? .... Yeah, here’s the stop. ... ... I will. Thanks for the ride Travis. I’ll see you in a few hours. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Where are you? I know you’re hiding here somewhere. Oh! There you are, I almost missed you. How are you Eileen? Are you keeping well? .... What? You didn’t believe me? I told you I’d remember. I’m here, aren’t I? Look... umm... I got you a gift. I know you said there was no need but... well I hope you like them. It is a special occasion after all. Yeah... I know you love flowers and these roses reminded me of you. This shade of red reminded me of your beautiful lips and the petals reminded me of your skin: so soft and pure. I know they’re not as nice as you are but it’s as close to as perfection as I could get. .... A-ah... Yeah. I’m sorry. That sounded really weird: don’t try to convince me otherwise. It’s kind of hard to articulate my thoughts into words like this. You were always so much better at expressing yourself, Eileen. You’re a much better person then I am in general. Everything about you is just... something else. Even now I’m just awestruck just talking to you. ....... .... Umm.... you want me to talk more about myself? I can barely give you news. I’m guess doing fine. It’s Spring and there’s a lot to take photographs of. Wait, of course you know that. Spring is your favourite time of the year, isn't it? I’m going to the National Park later: maybe I’ll have some leftover photos to give to you. Most of them go to paying for that new apartment though... Uh.... wait! Never mind! I promise I’ll get you some beautiful shots Eileen! I’ll save some especially for you. It’s not a trouble at all! Really! .... So, what else is going on with me? Well, I won that photography competition again and, ah! I met up with Frank on Wednesday: he said he’ll try find you when he finishes work tomorrow, so look out for him, okay? .... For most part, my life has been pretty uneventful lately. I guess that’s all I have to say. .... Ummm... Did you know I still dream about you? We would always be in a nice place, walking hand in hand: You, with your bright, evergreen eyes sparking and me being... me. I don’t know what we would do but I always remember seeing you, looking like a perfect goddess as you always did. Even when you were injured you were pretty... ....Hey, Eileen. You know, I didn’t just come to talk to you about my dreams and my life. I’ve got some things I need to say. Happy Birthday Eileen. Thank you for being there for me whenever I was down. Hahaha... you’d think it’d be the other way around but, no. You were more support for me then you can imagine and I want you to know that. I feel like saying a speech for your birthday but... well, what can I say about you? You’re just... perfect. You’re so perfect that you’re unreal at times. You are always so friendly and willing to help everyone. You are kind, generous, caring and supportive and... well... I’ve never met someone as selfless, strong and amazing as you are. As you were. Oh God. Eileen, I’m sorry. I promised that I wouldn’t do this, but I have. I know, for the sake of both of us, I shouldn’t be doing this but I have to now. I lied earlier. I’m not okay. I have something I need to tell you. I- I- I love you. I love you Eileen Amy Galvin. Oh God, I love you so much. You told me in the Water Prison to... to never give up. You said you wanted to see me smile. You said you wanted to get through this together. I know I should n-not be on my knees, in front of you crying but- but it’s hard for me Eileen. They all said it'd bring some closure to say your name but they think its not my fault. T-They don’t know the truth. I’m sorry that I couldn’t kill Walter fast enough to save you. I’m so sorry Eileen. I’m so sorry. .... I’m so sorry... ... I never wanted anything so bad but I’d give anything just to have the chance of doing everything over. I'd give up all the world to see your angelic face staring back at me. I’d face Walter again if I could have you back. I... I just want to hold you Eileen and just show you how strongly I feel for you! I never told you to your face on how much I loved you and you completed me. I maybe a photographer, but you helped me capture the beauty in living, even in the face of hell. You gave me so much strength and you didn’t even know it. I know I've gotta live with the choices I made but... Eileen... just knowing you’re gone just hurts so much. I can barely live with myself knowing th-that I could have saved you. ..... .... It hurts Eileen. I hope you’re waiting for me in heaven, Eileen. I can’t wait to see your beautiful face again. If anything, that would be my reward for enduring for so long. Don’t worry, I’m not taking my life but I’m just... tired, alright? I’m really tired now. Can I just rest against your headstone? Just until I stop crying. .... Thank you Eileen. I’m sorry Eileen. I love you Eileen.
