Inspired by the song 'Love You Goodbye' from the album 'Made In The A.M'
You're sitting alone on your couch watching a shitty rom-com when your phone dings. It's a notification from Youtube: New video from Harry Styles. Click to watch now. You sigh, opening your phone. You had forgotten to unsubscribe, and it's not like you wanted to watch videos from your ex-boyfriend. It's been four days since you broke his heart, but it had to be done. He wasn't good for you, you weren't good for him. You just took the step. You're about to press 'unsubscribe' when you notice the title of his latest video.
To the one who loves her next...
It was released five minutes ago and it already has hundreds of thousands of views. You click on it, curious.
"Hello," Harry says on the other side of the screen. You smile out of habit, you used to love the way his accent affected his 'hellos.' He's sitting in front of a blank wall wearing the blue, knitted jumper you always used to love on him.
"This is a rather different type of video, but I just wanted to come on here to say a few things. I wrote it down," He chuckles to himself, showing a few folded pieces of paper to the camera, and continues.
"To the one who loves her next,
She's terrified of bugs, so if she calls you freaking out about a spider on her wall or a cockroach skittering across the floor, go to her and get rid of it. She won't sleep until she knows it's gone.
To the one who loves her next,
She absolutely adores cuddling, but always let her be the little spoon. She enjoys being held close. Brush her hair out of her face and kiss her forehead, she loves that.
To the one who loves her next,
Always text her when you get home safe, otherwise, she will stay up and fret.
To the one who loves her next,
She hates roses, they're too cliche for her. Buy her pink chrysanthemums instead, they're her favourites. Never tell her you're sending flowers, surprise her with them for no reason at all." He pauses, voice breaking, but continues despite the tears welling in his eyes.
"To the one who loves her next,
Give her your shirts. Wear them for a day, spray them with a little bit of cologne, then give it to her. She will wear it like a ballgown, proudly and with her chin held high. And it's the best feeling in the world, I know, to see her in your shirt.
To the one who loves her next,
Treat her like a fucking princess. That's what she is. If that head droops and her tiara falls, there'll be hell to pay.
To the one who loves her next,
Sometimes she cries without knowing why. Just hold her close and run your fingers through her hair. Offer her squares of chocolate in seven-minute intervals, it's the perfect spacing for the chocolate to not become too rich, apparently.
And finally, to the one who loves her next,
Take care of her. It's as simple as that. She is everything brilliant about this world. It's like all the brightest colours reside in her heart. Love her with all that you are, because there is no point in loving if you're not giving it your all."
With that, he finishes, wiping tears from his cheeks. It takes you a second to realise you're crying too. Then, just as you're about to click out of the video, he says one last thing.
"On the rare chance that you're watching this, my darling, I want you to know something. I love you. Always have, always will. There will always be a place in my heart for you. I love you. Goodbye."
The video ends and you're left staring at your phone. You wait until your tears dry before exiting the video and clicking unsubscribe. You smile, allowing yourself one last trip down memory lane, to all the good times and silly things. Then, as though tucking those memories into a box, you close the lid and push it to the back of your mind.
And although you're moving on, you know with complete confidence that there will always be a special place in your heart for the green-eyed boy...
