Did Not Expect To Be Emotionally Destroyed This Morning. - Tumblr Posts

just thinking about how short of time joel and ellie really had.

it was really only just a handful years when ellie was a teenager. but, holy fuck, did they love during that time. they loved and they loved and they loved. but what is that going to mean in ten years? in twenty? when she’s old and gray and joel’s age? will she remember him? will she remember the love? or will it still be overshadowed by grief? will he be anything more than a fleeting thought here or there? a passing memory? how long before she can’t even recall his voice or what he looks like?

how deep will joel’s love go? how long will his memory last?
