Disclaimer: I wish I was J.K. Rowling because it would make this gift so much more special. Alas, I am not she. The only payment I receive for this is making someone else happy.
A/N: This was written for the Happiness and Hugs Weekly Challenge: Fantastic Freeverses on HPFC. This story is dedicated to loveislouder94. I decided to use the pairing unrequited Snape/Lily.
Through the Years
At 17
He watched from a f a r
As she laughed
In the \arms/ of another man
(His enemy and bully in school)
At 18
He blinked back t.e.a.r.s
Because he knew Lily
(His flower)
Would never 0look0 at him that way
At 19
He SCOFFED
As he heard James tell her
"You're a *gem*."
(She was so much more than that)
At 20
He w*o*n*d*e*r*e*d
What would have happened had he said
"I love you, Lily."
(Would that be his child GROWING in her belly?)
Now at 21
He would never:
Hear her laugh
Feel her in his arms
See her look at him that way
Say, "My love is unconditional."
Watch her grow round with his child
And so Severus Snape

A/N2: I'm sorry if this is horrible. It's my first attempt at freeverse. I know Snape is creepy in this, but this is what came from my fingertips when I sat down to write.
