Check out my news cartoon voice over on my channel and don’t forget to leave a like and comment I’d love to hear from you …
Sometimes I think back to that day
The day we first met
And I wonder would I still be alive if we never met
What do you mean?
I reply taking in a breath
What could she mean by it?
Did I really change her life that much
Yeah I mean I don’t think id want to live in a life without you
But that doesn't mean you wouldn't have found someone worth living for
Yeah I guess you are right
There is a silence between us for just a moment
It almost felt peaceful but I could tell she wanted to say more
She always played with her hands when she wanted to speak more
And right now she was
But I didn’t want to force her to say it
So I waited
Id wait for as long as she needed till she was prepared
She takes a breath in before responding
I wouldn't want to live for anyone else you know?
A chuckle escaped my lips
If it helps I wouldn't want to marry anyone else
Huh? You’re not even going to say you wouldn't live for anyone else? Even if it was a lie?
I don't lie to you and i'm not going to start now
There is a pause
I cant promise you if you weren't around I wouldn't live for someone else
Id live for my family or for my dog but not someone as important as you
You said you wouldnt live for someone else
But I would have
I wanted to tell you something as important as yours was
Cause it's true
I wouldn't marry anyone else if you weren't around
She laughs
Her laugh as if the gods themselves came down and blessed her with the perfect smile
As if the angels themselves are singing when she laughs
What I would give to hear it all the time
She responds
You know for being a year older than me you do have an innocent look on love
What do you mean?
I can't explain it you just always look as if you
I think back on that moment all the time
The moment where I was so sure we would be together forever
The moment that I knew for the first time in my life that I was making the right choice
I wasn't second guessing myself or even doubting
Because I knew you would be there
I thought that wasn’t a lie
I thought we promised to be together forever
Just like in our vow
Though I supposed we promised
Till death does us part
But even I wouldn't let that stop me from loving you
So now I sit here wondering Eloise?
Did you mean what you said?
Because right now its feels like I was the reason you died
That if we never met you would still be here
Maybe it's my fault for holding you too tight?
Maybe it's my fault for not letting you go when you wanted
But you have to understand Eloise I loved you more than life itself
But you loved life more than you loved me
Im sorry it had to end this way
And i'm sorry I wasn’t as innocent as you thought
And I wish I was sorry for what I did to you
But you have to understand
You left me with no choice
And now I know you can’t leave me
Ill keep our promise and never leave you
I will take care of your grave till the day i part this life
Please forgive me my dear Eloise
Forever yours,
Iris

AN: this is something that is clearly not fleshed out and something I ran out of ideas for. It was originally written for a competition that my friend and I had that we stopped doing. I'd love any feedback on this too and thank you for reading it if you do!
It funny do not make this a debate for ANYTHING
Ok yes it is true but WHY is this efhvdgiyhlfvfbkjfhhvbfnjvbhdsiu
Of missing and remembering
Missing
They found this tree when they were just a child. They were alone in this whole world and just wanted a place to call home. They come here almost daily. To read and write and to do all the other bits of life. The tree had always been tall and big. When they were younger they could climb it and rest on one of it's branches to read. Now they sit on the ground, leaning against one of the two gravestones and rest in the trees shadow. Whenever they visited, they could feel a longing inside their chest. It was like they were missing something or someone that they couldn't quite remember. This feeling of missing always growing bigger with each visit. Until one day a boy sat under the tree sketching.
Remembering
When he saw them for the first time it was like a stone was lifted from his shoulders. It felt as if he could finally breath freely again. He didn't know what he felt in that moment but with time he began to realise what it was. Sitting with them under the tree, talking, reading and drawing together. A feeling of home flooded him and them as well. This time that the two of them spent together it felt like something he remembered. A memory deep within his soul. A memory of happiness and joy. He felt like remembering this time from a life before.
Once
Old they lay, their life a tale to tell, under the tree that was still so young. They planted it here many years ago after meeting for the first time and planed to make this their last resting place. The time had come for them to go into another beautiful story of their own. They both knew. And so he asked "Will you promise to remember me?" "I can only promise to miss you, my love." they replied. And they both did miss, each to their own.
