One Simple Word

One Simple Word

I asked you once what if you have known how our love would be like, how it would end. If you have already seen what would happen on our last days, on the last pages of our lives if you would you still love me. You just answered me with one simple word.

Uhum.

I closed my eyes, assured that you wanted this, needed this and you love me. And because of this I will be having beautiful dreams, for every night you will take me in the comfort of your arms lulling me to sleep.

We have been living together for a year when I asked you, what if because of me your heart would break and would cause you so much pain and tomorrow everything would be gone and would only be left as bittersweet memories, I asked you if you would still want to stay with me and love me. And again with one simple word you answered me.

Uhum

I smiled, I know that all of my days would be bright as the sun, for I know the moment I open my eyes you will be the first person I will see, with a smile so warm such a beautiful and perfect way to start any kind of day.

After four years just before we go out I took your hand, embraced you and asked you, what if I might not be able to fulfill what I promise today, and break my vows. What if what would be happening today would be just a moment in time and never to be relived again would you still want to be bonded with me and love me. Just how you always answer me, with simple one word.

Uhum

With pride I walked down from the altar with you by my side, wearing an identical gold band like that of my own. I cried because I know this is forever, for I am yours and you are mine. And from this day forward there would be not tears of pain because of you there would only be joy.

Five years after since we have been together, you found me at a secluded hospital, have difficult time breathing. But before they took me to another room, I grabbed you and kissed you with all that I am. I asked you what if this wouldn't be successful and I would just leave you broken and unfulfilled, would you still love me. You clasped my hand and brought it close to your heart. With unshed tears gleaming in your eyes you voiced out only one word you could answer me.

Uhum

I awoke with a soft sound of a new life. You were beaming with a wide grin on your face, as you looked at me, a very proud father that you are carrying our baby then handling her to me. Finally, a family we could call our own, a family that will complete us for she is our flesh, she is our blood. Looking at you I realized that our love for each other has taken a higher pedestal, and has surpassed greater boundaries there is.

We're old now, hand in hand we watch our only daughter get married. It was like only yesterday when we are the one's saying those vows. I entwined our fingers and I looked at you, and asked you what if when you wake up one morning and you found me gone, leaving you alone to carry on with your life, and you have seen this all in the very beginning would you still have chosen loved me. You let a single sigh and brought me closer to you. And this time you gave me a different answer.

"Even if I'd see all the pain and trouble coming between us, there is no one I would turn to and come running to, no one else but you, straight into your arms. Even if I'd seen that all of these would only be memories, and holding you close to me would be just a moment in time I would still love you. There is no one else for me in this world, but you. I love you so much for me to think otherwise."

After all these years, you never lost that fire in you that made me feel safe and protected, as you hold me close into you arms. And in your eyes I saw that our love will surpass our time here on earth unto beyond, and if ever we would be born again I know we will look for each other and for that another lifetime our love story would continue. During this times I get to wonder, except for this moment, one simple word is all that it takes for me to believe, to hold on and to love. Yes, it doesn't have to be a complicated word to promise true love, it doesn't have to be a complicated phrase to promise forever, and it doesn't have to be a complicated sentence or paragraph to prove that this is meant to be, yes all it takes is a simple "uhum" and it takes all the doubts away.

"Dad..."

"Yes, honey..."

"It's getting late, lets go..."

"I'm coming..."

As I lay the bouquet of dark red roses down, I can't help but smile or perhaps laugh at the irony of it. All those questions should have not been asked to you, but to me instead. Well if you would have asked me, this is what I will tell you.

"Yes, I would still love you till death and beyond. I will not exchange all that we have been through for another, never my love, never."

Uhum.

I outlined the scripts on the cold marble one last time for the day and kissed every letter of your name and I stood up walked away to our waiting daughter.

On the tombstone written:

Draco Malfoy

" I do not need to know how my life would be like, because in spite of it all, I will always choose to love."
