Final Farewell from Giving In

Short and to the point. Goodbye x.

_____

Harry smiled softly, and he glanced down at a long ago worn out gold band on his left hand. Tilting his head up to look at the sky, he thought back to a time. where his curls were a rich dark brown, and he had the most beautiful boy at his side. He thought back to the first day he wore that ring, and the words Louis told him that he would never forget.

i fell in love
every time I saw you
every time I touched you
i only craved for more
so I kept falling
to the point of no return
even though you tore me down
you always brought me back up
and I love you
more than I did yesterday
and less than I will tomorrow
you are mine,
my love,
my soul,
my heart,
my only,
mine
until the end of time

LouisTomlinson-Styles to Harry Styles

On their wedding day on June 26, 2015, exactly one year after they reconciled.

______

Harry remembered the restless butterflies in his tummy that always came whenever he saw Louis. Whether it was a smile, or not, the mere existence of the smaller man drove him crazy.

with every push
every sigh
every kiss
every moment
that you spent on me
I couldn't admit
that you gave me these butterflies
that made my stomach go crazy
and to this day
they are still there
as if it were
the first day
when I saw you
all over again

Harry to Louis on why he got his butterfly tattoo on their two year wedding anniversary.

___

He leaned against the tree, looking around at his surroundings. The pain in his chest hit him like it always did when he remembered the pain that he caused Lou. Thought after a moment it would go away because he knew Louis had forgiven him long ago. Only when he spoke to Louis did he ever mean everything he said.  He thought back to all those times Louis would cry and Harry would soothe him.

forgive me Lou?
forgive me for the pain
the tears,
the sadness,
forgive me for not knowing
that you cared so much
forgive me for not showing
that you
are the only person
i care about
that after all this time
you
are the only one
i still see

Harry to Louis after Louis wakes up crying into his shoulder telling him he had a nightmare where he was gone once more.

___

He glanced down at his hands, at the faded black ink on his worn out skin. He couldn't help but grin, how foolish he had been when he was young. He held up his wrist, and looked at the small L, that was still there, that would always be there. He remembered how Louis didn't care about his tattoos, that he only cared about him. He remembered his exact words from decades ago.

lip rings
tattoos
i fell in love with you
you make me whole
you make me happy
the one who
shows me
that even though
all this time has gone by
it is still possible to love someone
even more than the first day
when my eyes
met yours

Louis to a sleeping Harry on their 6 year anniversary.

___

His phone vibrated, and slowly he pulled it out from his pocket. It was Lily, he smiled softly and turned off his phone. Taking his time he sat down. leaning his head against the trunk of the tree . His eyes raking over the marble in front of him. His mind on a moment that had occurred half a century ago. When he and Louis had first gotten Lily.

look at her eyes
they're blue like yours
look at her hair
it's curly and brown
look at her smile
she has two dimples
hear her laugh?
it's like yours
no it's yours
what's that she's saying?

Daddy

Louis and Harry to their daughter 3 year old Lily, May 19, 2023

___

Harry's green eyes were lost as he closed them, mind on so many nights, so many days where it had just been the two of them. Just Louis and Harry. Harry and Louis. He sighed and felt the wind rush through his wispy curls. Bringing his worn out hands to his face, it had been so long and yet, he remembered those nights like they had just occured .

you're still so beautiful,
grasping those bedsheets
moaning my name
looking so lovely
mouth parted open
eyes clenched shut
sighing heavily
chest rising and lowering
movements slow and deliberate
hands fit perfectly around you
they always fit perfectly around you
how did I get so lucky?
shouting my name
seemingly blissful
you're mine
my only true love

Harry to Louis, one night on their 10th anniversary.

___

The years were flying by in his mind. Lily growing up, and Louis growing old by his side. They all brought tears and smiles to his eyes, which he would only let fall loose, and they trickled down his cheeks. A moment, stood up to him, a moment where Louis was walking up to his with his arms outstretched, he knows in his mind that Lily had just left for school, but all he saw was Louis.

growing so fast
primary school over
here comes summer
seems like it just ended
your hair is longer
curlier than usual
here let me cut it

there, so much better
eyes so pretty
my own emeralds
hugging our girl
making her smile

tracing tattoos
touching the L
is it still possible
to keep falling
in love with you?

Louis to Harry on their 15th anniversary

___

He started laughing softly, but stopped as his breath soon grew short until after a few moments it went back to normal. He laughed because he remembered when Louis had gotten all his tattoos. He remembered what he'd said when a blushing Louis had revealed them to him.

what a surprise
my own compass
a dagger to my rose?
quotations on your wrist
bird from my birdcage
the oops to my hi

Hi,

Harry to Louis when Louis shows him all his new tattoos on July 12, 2032

___

He frowned though, and looked back at the headstone, that for the past ten years had shown Louis' name. So he looked at it and spoke, in a low whisper. Imagining that instead of a cold tombstone, that it was his beautiful Louis he was looking at as he spoke.

it came so sudden,
you were here
and then you weren't
i was touching you
and then
poof
gone
gone was your smile
your eyes
your laugh
your voice
you were gone Lou.
my fault?
for not seeing the car
my fault?
for letting you drive
my fault?
for letting you go
by accident
I miss you
miss me?
I love you
I'll never stop.
No matter what .
I didn't when you said you hated me
and I won't now that you're gone.
Don't forget me Lou,
please?

Harry to Louis' gravestone May 17, 2067
