Elvis death broke us all, (takes a moment to sob), but I always wondered how his funeral went. Here's a little one shot about it from Georgies perspective, enjoy xxx
I didn't know how I lost you. Well I do, i was there.
But I always thought that out of the two of us it would be me to hit the can first. With what happened in Kenya and all.
It all happened so fast.
So unpredicted.
But I guess that was always like you wasn't it Elvis? Unpredictable.
Maybe that was what a loved about you. Or maybe it was the good looks. The charming smile. The humour. The unpredictable.
And now I'm here. Your funeral.
It's all in a church, I know you always hated them that's why we weren't going to get married in one. You always wanted to get married outside, but I didn't want to risk the rain ruining my hair. Seems pathetic now. But the rain would of been unpredictable.
At least the graveyards outside. You hated them too.
And now I'm here. Your funeral. Stood right at the back.
I can see your daughter. She has your eyes. And your hair. She's going to break hearts when she's older.
She seems so unfazed at what's going on. She doesn't know where she is. She doesn't know she's at her father's funeral. How could she?
She's going to grow up only seeing pictures of you. Not knowing your laugh, your smile, your charm, or your unpredictableness.
But I'm jealous, she won't understand the pain of losing a man she never knew. But now I have to live with the pain of losing the man I loved. I know I sound pathetic and I know you'd tell me to grow a pair if you could see me now but how couldn't I?
How couldn't I be sad?
You'd promise you'd never let me down again.
But know there letting you down into the ground.
The masses of people grow thinner and thinner and thinner until it is only me here.
For many your just going to be another name etched on a gravestone in a field of them. But you'll always be etched into my heart.
And know I'm here. Your funeral. Stood right at the back. Unpredictable.
And now we say goodbye, but just for now.
Goodbye Elvis.
