Vennema Monologue from Louise

From Louise by J. H. Speenhoff

male · melancholic · 1:40 min

Very well, we will not speak of it again. But how about us, Louise? Don't you ever think of us? Don't you ever long to come back to us, to the old home where you were born? Wouldn't you like to see it again? Then come back with me. Come back to us. You know my motive for coming. Won't you come back home with me? Everything is in perfect readiness for you: your little room, the flowers, the trees... everything. But it can be the same again! We can make it the same! Just think of the memories, the laughter, the love we shared. But they are still ours! They belong to us! You are not far away, Louise. You are still a part of it. You always will be. You must believe it! Come back with me, and we will create new memories together. You can! You just have to take that first step. You won't! I promise you, you won't. Time is what we have, but don't let it slip away. Come back, Louise. Come back home.
