Sweet Memoir

the Tattoo and its story

Tirana,Albania

I am driving to somewhere i dont know yet because she didnt tell me, she said its a surprise.

Where exactly are we going? I asked my long term gf.

You will know it sweetheart when we get there" clarence said.

"You know how much i love you right? She asked

Ofcourse i do, and i love you too with all my heart. I responded

And she smiled, she holds my right hand and i hold it tighter.

I cant wait her to be my wife. Shes going to Germany tomorrow and she doesnt knew that i have something for her there. 1 month ago, i flew to Germany without her knowing, i went to buy a diamond ring and placed it in a gift library. Theres a passcode in it and i will surprise her once she get there.

"Oh yeah! We finally here! Just park it there sweetheart" she said excitedly.

I look at the place and its a small mart labeled "Tattoo this way"

I kinda confused and asked her
What are we doing here?

Were gonna get tattoo, she said happily

Tattoo? Why?

I want us to stay forever and i want to see it everyday, i want us to have same tattoo, can we do that?

I looked at her and kissed her forehead, ofcourse baby, whatever that you wish

She got out of car and went inside so excited, and i parked the car. As i entered, i saw her talking with the tattoo artist it seemed that she made an appointment, she really planned it well, she surprised me before i could do so. With that,made me love her even more.

I laid down and she laid down beside me.

What tattoo you want? The artist asked.

Clarence immediately responded.

I want dolphins, draw me two dolphins together " then she looked at me and smiled

Isnt that your favorite? Remember when we were younger? You love playing with dolphins, thats why you want to go to the beach of all the places

Hearing those melt my heart so i hold her hand tightly

She then turned to artist, opened one of her blouse button, "draw it here in my chest " then she looked at me once again and our eyes locked.
I couldnt be much happier to have this amazing woman.

Another artist entered the room, and he sat beside me

What about you sir? Which tattoo and where you want me to draw it?

"Draw it in my right arms, two dolphins together and draw CMC (its her name Clarence Margaux Corell)

I turned my attention to her and see her looking at me too. Its such a great feeling knowing that you were in the right person.

Those were engraved in my heart
Those memories flashbacked
Im standing in front of her grave

I put flowers in her grave. Tears rundown my cheeks. "Its been 7 years Clarence, I love you so much.

My phone rang, i wiped my tears and get my phone in my pocket

"Hello?yes whats the matter?
Okay I'll be there.

My friend called me to go to pub tonight.
