Never Mine
Summary: Regret always comes after an act. But what if there was no act?

A/N: Hi guys! It's me again! This is just a short one-shot I wrote in Harry's POV. I hope you like it!
Sometimes when I think about it, it really makes me wonder why all this is happening. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine falling in love with someone like you. I knew from the beginning that this was wrong and that I shouldn't, not with you. I couldn't help it though. You've been the one person I could count on when I felt the world crashing down upon me. With you, I'm just an ordinary person with no problems. I don't know why this is so, but you have this way of making me feel better by just smiling at me, whispering words of comfort and soothing my saddened soul. Maybe you are the angel sent to me by God whose voice of reason makes me want to listen and follow. Through the years, I've realized how important you've become to me. Your mere presence can keep me smiling the whole day; something which has not happened before. This thing I feel is different. I didn't know what it was at first until I saw you with him. He was talking about something, clearly trying to impress you and you were laughing. This would not have been upsetting had I not realized that you were enjoying his company. I knew I should not have felt anything upon seeing that, but I have; a great deal of feeling. A few weeks later, I found out from your roommate that you were dating him. Hearing that made me want to cry, not because I was jealous (well, partly because of that), but because I knew he didn't deserve you. He was an insensitive prat that constantly changed girlfriends because he loved bragging to his friends the many girls that fell in love with him. I really wanted to beat the guy up when I saw him touching you but I couldn't, not with you there, watching. Oftentimes, I just sit under the tree beside the lake wondering where I went wrong. I used to think my feelings were reciprocated and that one day, we would have this startling realization about our love, confess and be together forever. That pretty much went down the drain the moment I saw you with him that day. I think I knew back then that whatever I did after that, you will never be mine.
