Five times John Talked to an Empty Grave

Chapter Text

You should see the the daffodils Mrs Hudson planted just next to... here. Against the black of...
Well they look beautiful, elegant. I think you would appreciate how the colours contrast. She planted them last month. It's been raining a lot lately, but they already flowered. You'd like them. You like beautiful, elegant things.
It's been... about a month, since I cried for you.
There's something that keeps bothering me. Quite a lot.
It's all I can think about, to be fair.
And that's that it doesn't make sense.
None of it does.
Why did you jump?
I don't understand it. I wish you were here to explain it, the way you do.
I never doubted you. Never. I told you, I'm a hundred per cent sure.
Moriarty was real.
Then why did you jump?
Because newspaper would call you a fraud? Because I know you aren't. That should be enough, shouldn't it? You never cared for what people thought. I like to believe you only cared what I thought.
Silly.
So why did you jump?
Please help me understand.
I cannot shake the thought that you didn't, that you're alive. I just can't.
I cannot mourn you. It would be healthy to do so, and I'd be able to get over it I think.
As always, I'm a step behind.
