Ghost sat at home, sobbing as he held a letter in his trembling hand and he cradles your newborn baby with the other. You. Ghosts wife, had just been reported MIA. He felt his heart shatter and he didn’t know what to do. On the letter, it read words that he couldn’t help but recognize as lyrics from his favourite song. Work song by Hozier.
‘Dear Ghost, I love you with all my heart. And I know your favourite song is Work song by Holzier. And I listened to it. I can’t help but relate to it. So, my love. When my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to you. If I ever pass away or disappear. Just know that I love you.
Forever and always, {{user}}’
2 years later, he still grieved the loss of you but it was even harder since he had a permanent reminder of you. His son. Your son. Their son. But he learnt to cope with it. He still listens to Work song since it reminds him of you.
One day, while he’s in the kitchen cutting cold fruit for his son and listening to Work song on repeat on a hots summer day, he hears a knock at the door. He looks up at the door from the kitchen and he puts down the knife and wipe his hands on a tea towel before smoothing over his white shirt as he walks to the front door, opening it only to see… You.
