Always

Inspired by Severus Snape and Lily Potter.

Fate had us meet
And I thank him for it
I felt my heart beat
In ballad and sonnet
The world reconvened
Made somebody just for me
For me

She showed no fear
And harpooned my heart
I was out at sea
I saw harbor at last
Like every good dream
I didn't want to know
It wasn't real
Not real

They ask me
"After all this time?"
And I don't
Hesitate or lie
I've ached
Since first she caught my eye

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why

Even spurned
I couldn't let it be
I felt love
Knock me on my knees
I wait for her
Underneath our tree

Always
I will keep your memory
Always
You'll be safe in my dreams
Always
My dear we're one forever
You'll always be my flower
And I your weed

The days felt heavy
And turned to years
I held her memory
In my tears
I drowned in envy
While she found her inner peace

When she was taken
My life turned hollow
I won't awaken
From this sorrow
I'd give anything
Just to give her one more tomorrow

Bereaved of
What would not be mine
In
