L O U I S


Life can be over faster than you think.

Here I am. In a hospital bed with lung cancer. I am 64 years old now.

Maybe God wants me to come home finally.

Home to the love of my life and my Mom.

Home to the most important persons in my life.

I can see them again soon.

I will be at peace soon.

Very soon.

I smile as I remember the day, I asked the love of my life if he wants to be my boyfriend.

I was so damn nervous.


- 43 YEARS AGO, SUMMER, IN THE AFTERNOON, IN THE PARK, WITH HARRY, LAUGHING -

„AHHHH! MY CHEEKY LITTLE BOOBEAR! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH ALREADY!"

„We didn't see eachother for one day, Hazza. But I have to admint that I missed you too."

„Very much?"

„Very much."

I hugged him tightly and he giggled into my shirt.

I laid on my back in the grass and looked up at the sky.

„I missed you more, Lou. Much much more."

„If you say so, Haz."

„I do say so, BooBear."

Hazza rolled onto me and hugged me tightly.

I ran a hand through his hair, just like I always did.

„Hazza....I have to ask you something. It's very important."

„What is it? Do you not want us to be friends anymore?"

„N-No. I mean- Yes."

Hazzas' eyes widen.

„What did I do wrong? You can be honest and tell me what it is."

„You did nothing wrong. I- I want to ask you if- if- You- I- We-"

„Tell me, Lou. Whatever it is, say it."

„Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Silence.

Awkward silence before a shocked scream made me flinch.

„OF COURSE I WANT TO! I WANTED FOR YOU TO ASK ME THAT SINCE THE DAY I SAW YOU! AHHHH! OH MY GOD!"

He cuddled me tightly and I sighed in relief.

„I love you, Hazza."

„I love you too, Lou. I always did. I was too scared to ask you if we want to be together. I thought you would say No and hate me because you only want us to be friends."

„God, no. I had a crush on you the first moment I looked into your fascinating green eyes and saw your adorable curly hair and your beautiful dimples."

„Me too. When I saw your fabulous fluffy hair and your mind blowing cheekbones, I knew I would fall for this guy. I didn't know anything about you but I already had a weird feeling in my stomach."

„Me too. I am so glad we are finally over the whole only friends thing."

His face was only inches away from mine.

„Can I kiss you?"

„You don't have to ask, Lou. Just do it. I want to feel your lips on mine. Kiss me, you fool."

„I will, you fool."

„We are both fools, aren't we? Well, you are more of a fool obv-"

I placed a gentle finger on his lips.

„Shut up and let me kiss you."
