Since I Saw You Last - Robbie Williams / Take That OneShot (in English)

Since I Saw You Last

And if you die before i leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around there's no-one here
To love me and hold me

It was a cold morning in September, when Robbie was trying to get a very difficult passage behind him. He knew he had to do it someday, but he didn't want it. While he had buried his hands deep in his pockets and the absolute emptiness in his eyes reflected, the entertainer went along a narrow path until he finally came to a halt. He looked oppressed at his feet, where the ground was softened by the rain of the last days, and he now stood in the midst of a huge and muddy puddle. For about two months now, he had nothing to do with himself. It was as if the world had stopped to turn and even the time had no longer any meaning. His life was no longer what it once was. While his world had only an ugly gray color and tirelessly extended his life around him, his tired and clouded gaze glided to one side and fixed a very definite place. It took an eternity until Robbie finally felt able to turn to the previously fixed position and to deal with a rather sad mood.

He still couldn't believe it. Everything was just too terrible. Struggling with the tears, but one already chewing over his slightly heated cheek, he wondered how it could ever happen. Sure. He already knew what had happened and how this disastrous and tragic accident had happened, but that one of his best friends had succumbed to his serious injuries after about a week and thus had to give up his still too young life was simply not fair. While a simple tombstone stood in a few steps before him, the engraved and silvered writing now became more than painfully aware of the fact that the dead person was his most beloved friend.

Gary Barlow

20/01/1971 – 21/06/2017

Loved son, husband, father, friend and a celebrated pop star who's missed by many fans.

R.I.P.

"Oh God. Gaz. I'm so sorry I wasn't there ...and that I'm only coming now. ...I miss you so badly." Robbie sobbed then he even began to cry.

That hit Robbie now much harder than he expected. Because of his alcohol and drug addiction, he had always thought that he would be the first to die from the former boy band and now no more longer existing men group around Take That.

Why did it have to be Gary first? Why?

With the image in front of his eyes like this terrible accident could happen, he lost his strength in his legs and sank to the ground. It was a picture which, thanks to the very eager press and, of course, from his own imagination - he would always carry around with him.

Like Gary during their last concert on the big "Wonderland" tour, and so before the eyes of several thousands of fans, a few meters high and flying bed more than unhappy. Actually, the whole construction and the technology was considered to be quite safe as well as high quality and should not have happened, but on this last evening the misfortune happened where the cable winches broke at one end of the bed. Then everything happened incredibly fast. Shortly after Gary fell to the ground from a not very low height and remained motionless, the second winch broke and the heavy bed was also a victim of gravity. ...Which within a fraction of a second would bury the unconscious Gary among itself and seal's his fate for all eternity.

God. Everything was just so terrible.

Even the day, as a crying and inconsolable Mark had told him of the dreadful news of Gary's death, and now about three months ago, he wouldn't be able to forget so quickly. Because at this time and a late night hour when he got it, he had been on tour for some weeks already, so Robbie had hardly the opportunity to say goodbye to his little friend. At first he even wanted to cancel some concerts and make up for them later, but his new manager insisted that he did the complete tour as planned. Even on his tour days off, he had not even allowed him to visit Gary's grave.
