Farewell, Mary!
Hey everybody! This is the first time I write in English, and I don't speak nor write perfectly –what for a euphemism! - in English so I hope you'll be kind to me!
But I'm sure you will… !
Anyway, this is a one shot about the Godfather (such a great film) and of course Mary's character and Vincent's character don't belong to me but to Puzo and Coppola!
Hope you'll enjoy!
Farewell, Mary!
Mary. Mary Mary Mary Mary.
She was the One… the sweet Mary.
The only one I loved, the only one I utterly loved, cousin, lover, friend.
Mary.
So damn beautiful with her charming dark eyes and those splendid lips… This tortuous smile, tortuous but amazing, who did all her beauty.
My sweet Mary.
Angel in the darkness of our family.
How much mistakes did I do?
I chose power, I chose strength, and honour, and vengeance… Instead of her.
I betrayed her and her love.
I chose a dark fate, but at the time I did this, I could not imagine that her life was at her end.
Dead… dead.
I can't believe this. I can't believe that she's not with us anymore.
Her laugh… her smile… her angel face.
I miss you, Mary.
God if I miss you…
But I failed. I failed twice.
I had to protect you, I did everything for your protection and I couldn't avoid your death.
I failed.
Don Vincenzo Corleone failed.
How bitter is this title…
Why? Why?
Everything is a mistake, everything was a mistake.
Vendetta…
I was blind. Blind…
Fill with eager and precipitation.
Uncle Mike told me to be careful… But I still am Sonny's son.
Sonny… I would have like a death like his if it have could preserve you.
My angel, my sweetheart, my love.
My Mary.
I see you again, in your wonderful golden dress, so peaceful, so magnificent.
I can see your tears.
I remember our last talk. I think about it in any moment of my tortured life.
My second failing.
I regret my words so much, Mary.
I hope you can hear me from heaven. I'm sure you're in heaven, if heaven exists.
You were so pure, so candid…
My Mary. My bright Mary.
My star, my treasure, my heart.
I'm so sorry, Mary.
I'm so sorry for my last, fatal words.
They burn me.
I'll always love you, did you say.
And I saw your smile between your tears.
Then I killed you a first time. Then I failed.
Words that sounded like a shot of a mortal gun.
But I did it for your best, Mary. I wasn't the guy for you. I was a gangster, an unrespectable and cursed man, I wasn't made for you, for your beauty, for your perfection. You… You were the One.
My Mary.
I wasn't the One.
But I regret. I regret our last words, I regret it when I remember the pain in your bright eyes.
I paid for it. I paid a lot, I paid since I pronounced these words.
I told you that it wasn't the time... but a few seconds later you were shot.
Tears were under my eyes. Not much but enough for me.
I never cried before this day, Mary, nor even when my father died. I cried twice in my life.
I cried when I renounced to you, my love.
And I cried when you died.
Even gangsters have a heart, and you had mine.
It was yours… And it still is.
Cause I'll love you forever, cuz.
I know that I'll burn in hell and we will never meet each other again, but this time I won't tell you to love somebody else.
Cause I love you.
My heart is broken without you, and it will be forever.
I'll ever keep you in my mind and in my heart.
My Mary.
My love.
Farewell, Mary.
So here it is! Vinnie's farewell…
