Thats a good point, we use it in speech all the time, I hadn’t thought of that! Glad you found it easy 🙂 <3

I thought it would be really hard to get my head around, writing in 2nd person, but actually it wasnt, I think probably cos it was such a very short piece. Dont know if I could sustain it effectively over a longer piece. It was fine, because it felt just the same as when you’re talking to a friend… we actually use second person quite a lot without realising.

What a beautiful happy ending Dr.R. I’m so glad it ended happily I was worried for a minute there <3 thanks for joining in this week 😀

How did it feel?

I thought I’d give the second person thing a go, see how it felt. Nope, no element of truth whatsoever. Glad you like it, lol!

Thank you for the Share really appreciate it. Glad you like the prompt 😀

pahahahahahahahahahahaha I LOVE this story – Is there any element of truth to this by any chance?! bloody brilliant… also a dab hand at some second person in there too <3

As the tears slowly started to flow down Ella’s face, completely ruining her make-up which had taken her the best part of an hour to put on, Jon now with his head up again after regaining his composure sought to comfort his now visibly distressed wife. He got out of his seat and went towards Ella, taking her into his arms and caressing her in a way he had not done in months, he embraced her with a sincere passion and then look at her teary face and realised what a fool he had been to the woman that gave him the will to live, the woman he would run threw a brick wall for, the woman who managed to cast out the frost from his heart and turned it into warmth.

“I just wanted your attention, I just wanted to know you appreciated me” cried Ella gazing at Jon. Before she could utter another word, Jon kissed her and in that moment, it seemed like nothing else in the world mattered, time stood motionless as the lovers’ lips embraced. The rust that had been building up in the relationship had been abated, all because of one kiss, a kiss that seemed to point towards a fresh chapter, a new beginning, a more pristine love. Now everything seemed to be clear to Jon, he had neglected his relationship with Ella and allowed the relationship to rust, now with some TLC, the two of them together could freshen up their bond and get to know each other all over again as if they were dating for the first time.

Time commenced again as Jon wiped Ella’s tears away with his fingers, gently stroking her face which by now was a total mess, her face was smeared in various shades of red. Symbolically however, wiping away the tears (and the expensive make-up) signalled the wiping away of the rust, with time, the closeness between Jon and Ella would return. “I’m going to make things right” Jon declared whilst holding Ella’s hands in his grasp, feeling the warmth in her hands and quickly thinking about the warmth she had given to his heart. He felt he owed it to her to pay more attention to her and to appreciate her.

Ella had stopped crying and suddenly she could not be any happier, finally it seemed like her life had gotten the freshening up it needed. With the rust that was surrounding Jon slowly dissipating, it seemed like now was the time to catch up on lost time and use the time they still had to make time for them to reminisce about the time when the rust almost signalled time for them to call time on their time being together.

Hope you enjoy Sacha.
