-this is a blurb I wrote late at night, so i decided to post it, enjoy! (slow burn angst warning!!)
"Hello my love."
hey there, sexy.
Mark and your one-year old child walked up to you tirelessly with his picnic basket and blanket in hand. He laid it out for you to sit as he took out cucumber cream cheese sandwiches. He took one and placed it on a plate for you. He poured you some white wine and took in the breeze of the sunny afternoon.
"How have you been?"
good, I missed you.
"I hope you still like your favorite, cucumber cream cheese."
i do, thank you so much.
"You look so beautiful, as always."
always a charmer, Lee.
"I'm always thinking about you."
me too. thanks for taking time out of your day to see me.
"It's our anniversary, I thought, I'd come see you."
sweet as always.
“Has it really been 7 years? I can’t believe it’s been such a long time. I can’t believe it.”
me neither, I thought you would have killed me for taking the last watermelon slice.
“You know, I still haven’t forgave you for stealing that last watermelon slice on our first date, I knew you were special.”
Mark fondled with his silver wedding band, it was a bittersweet feeling to say the least.
“I still remembered how you looked on our wedding day, you were panicking about your hair, but it gave me an excuse to brush it out of your face.”
yeah, it was a pain, Lee.
“But, regardless, you were gorgeous, and I never regret any moments I have with you.”
me neither, you made my life better.
“I brought the little one, say hi to mommy.”
“M-ma...ma.” Your child stroked against your cheek
my baby, you look so happy.
“They’ve been doing well, learning their abcs and numbers, they still call your name every night.”
I know. I’m always there for them.
“I’ve been doing well at work, the job is going well, my parents watch over our kid. I’ve been happier”
good. I want you to be happier.
Mark placed his child on his lap as you all watched the sunset.
“Isn’t the view beautiful, my love?”
yes. it really is, you and my baby.
“F-fuck.” Mark was starting to cry.
please, please don’t cry.
The tears on Mark’s face kept falling.
“I know you’d be laughing at me calling me a softie while wiping my tears away...fuck, I- fuck!”
don’t curse in front of our child, honey
“I know, I know, you don’t want me to curse in front of them...I’m sorry.”
don’t apologize.
Mark pulled out a bouquet, daffodils.
“D-daffodils, you a-always said, t-they were your favorite. Just like you told me, they represent new beginnings and r-rebirth.”
you remembered. I’m flattered.
Mark handed one to your child, as he placed the flowers next to you, as your child followed, throwing one in your face.
You giggled at the sight.
Mark swore he heard your laugh but felt he was hallucinating. He could almost see you, in your beautiful sundress and hat smiling at him and your child.
“Me and y/c/n (your child’s name) should head back it’s getting dark.”
good, I want you two to get home safe.
“Say goodbye to mommy, little one.”
You child ran up and gave you a kiss, Mark lifted them up in his arms to walk over and gave you a kiss. But Mark’s forehead was stuck.
It was stuck on the cold, gray, stone that was in front of him. Mark’s eyes were full of tears.
“G-god...why did you have to go?”
“Why?”
“Why, god, why?”
“Please come back, please, I miss you so much.”
you know I can’t do that.
“I can’t do this.”
I know you can. Follow the daffodils, my love.
“Please come back to me, I want to hear your voice, kiss you, hug you, hold you.”
Mark, I’m always with you. Have faith in yourself, you are strong. I believe in you.
Mark suddenly felt warm, as if he as in you embrace. Your child giggled, as they knew you were right next to Mark holding him in a warm embrace.
“They really remind me of you. They even take after you, running away from me to tease me.”
good, it’s good to remember them through me.
“They love your stuffed bunny too, they never let it go.”
mr. rabbit, I hope he treats them well.
“I love you, y/n, I miss you so fucking much, I hate leaving you.”
you always have hated leaving me, I could never get out of the house on time.
“I will always love you.” Mark fondled with his ring again.
