The Sun And The Moon

26

Once I had started  writing, I almost couldn't stop anymore, but I still wasn't sure about it... but I didn't have any time anymore, because today was the day, Moon's funeral...
When I got in the church I only made eye contact with her perants and brother, but what their eyes said was ''We'll talk later if you want'' so I had nodded, and before I took a seat I looked at Moon's coffin for a few seconds before I walked to it, and looked at Moon's picture they had chosen, which was standing on the coffin, it was closed, they probably had decided too close it because of all her wounds, and I understood that, and I neither thought I could handle it when I saw her with all the wounds...
I looked up again and realised I was holding everyone up, so I walked away and took a seat, my hands were sweaty, and I started too get nervous when more people got in the church and looked at Moon's picture and said things like ''Rest in peace'' after a few minutes Moon's closest family came in (her parents, brother and grandparents) and took place, her grandfather took place next to me, it had bin a while since I had seen him, it was before that time I first talked too Moon in the hospital.
Then a few minutes later the funeral started, but it was hard too listen too what was said, I almost didn't hear a word, until I heard: ''Now we got a few people who wanted too say something.'' my heart started beating faster, I knew it wasn't my turn yet, I was the last one, first her parents would tak, I didn't know if they would do it together or apart, then it would be Heath's turn, then other family, and then mine.
I saw only Moon's mother waking to the front of the church, she was holding a paper and her hands were shaky, as she started too talk I could hear her voice cracking, like she was about too cry, but I didn't see any tears.
''The hardest thing for a mother is losing one of her childeren... I love both my childeren so much.'' she looked meaningful at Heath, who lightly smiled ''And I hope they know and knew, I've never could imagened it how it would be too lose a child... maby she was almost an adult, Moon will always stay a child to me, because she is my child...'' then there followed a long story about Moon, from when she was just a little kid, it probably was just like any other normal childhood story you heard.
Then it was Heath's turn too speak, he told us that only a year ago, the brother and sister relations ship they had was just like any other, blaming each other for anything, but also being each others first friends. But since the night in the forest, he had thought he'd lost his sister, and it was the most heartbreaking thing he could imagen at that moment, he dicied to be nicer, more protecting and a better friend to her.
I heard how dry and cracky his voice was of all the crying, his eyes were red and swolled like the eyes of any other person in this room.
I started wondering if Heath ever would get over the death of his sister...
Then Moon's grandparents read a little poem they had written about Moon, then it was the turn too speak for Moon's closest friends, Olive, Rose, Cassandra and Sarah, and then me.
They all said something like Moon was one of the most caring and loving persons they had ever known, they all told one of their favourite meories about Moon, and non of them kept it dry.
Then, when Sarah returned to her seat, I knew it was my turn, I was actually really nervous, I had too tell all these people about Moon, about our love, and just more stuff.
I felt my head getting a little red and my hands shaked a little and they were sweaty.
I took my place and took the mic and started talking.
''Let me tell you the story about the Moon and the Sun.'' I started, I paused for a second and looked around, I saw my parents sitiing in their seat, they smiled supporting at me, then a few rows more in the front I saw Moon's family, her mom nodded at me, like she told me it was good, so I went on.
''Our meeting wasn't the most usual, it was like, not the way you'd like too meet someone, but it still was the best thing that ever had happened to me.'' I paused again, I realized I had let the paper with my text on my seat, but maby it was better like this, maby it was better too just tell, and not too read.
''We had bin in danger multiple times.'' I saw some grins at some faces ''And she had done something for my safety, something I stupidly enough, didn't realize.
I may or may not have lost the love of my life. I know many will say we were too young anyway to be each others treu loves, but I believe we were, or better said, are. Because, the Moon and the Sun never can get dissconnected, look at the univers, the mon and the sun are so many million miles away from each other, yet people never think apart of them.
When one will say moon, the other will say sun.
That's how it will be with us, maby people will forget, it doesn't matter, because I won't.
Now, many of you won't understand this, but I just got too say one thing to Moon.'' I looked at Moon's family again, and now both her parents and Heath nodded.
I walked too Moon's coffin and looked at the picture, then I said: ''I promise, with all my heart, I promise.'' for a second I looked at theb eautiful face that smiled back in the picture, then I repiedted ''Let me tell you the story of the sun and the Moon. Every night he died to let her breath. No matter how his day was, good or bad. Until she did, but she still lives in our hearts.''
