Remember Me This Way
Jordan Hill
Dear Moony, Wormtail, and Padfoot,
I
know what's going to happen to me. I'm going to die. But don't feel bad, I don't.
Thanks to you, my friends, the life I had lived, short as it has been,
was filled with good times and bad, all of which I shared with you.
Every
now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
No
matter what happened, or how much trouble we got into, you were always by my
side. We were always together. We will always be together. You guys would have died for me, and many
times almost did. I would have done the same. You don't find many friends like
that. I am blessed to have three.
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time we fall
You know, if I could have changed anything
about my life, I wouldn't. You are the best things that ever happened to
me. You were always there for me, whenever Lily and I fought, or when my
parents died. Your friendship never wavered.
You're the best friend that I've found
Marauders
forever. That was our motto. Remember? Moony made it up in our second year,
together forever, never apart. Maybe in distance, but never at heart.
I know you can't stay
A part of you will never go away
Your heart will stay
I know we can't have the futures we
planned. Those four houses, all side by
side, watching our children growing up together, going to Hogwarts, teaching
them all we know, growing old together with our families. Now it all just seems like a dream.
But maybe what they say is right. Though a
friend may leave forever, they take a part of you with them. I'll always hold
you guys close, even in death. You'll always be in my heart.
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
I
hope everything goes like you planned. I hope you stay friends, even after I'm
gone. never give up your goals, never give up
our dreams. Don't waste your
time remembering the bad stuff. When you look back on our days together, smile,
don't cry. And be there for each other.
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Always
be there for each other. Don't forget and stay strong. If you start to feel like you can't take
it, just think back and remember that
we are brothers.
I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
Sirius, please. Whatever you do, don't blame
yourself. You are my brother, and you
and I both know, it's not your fault. You've brought me so much joy and
laughter, I can hardly think of causing you pain. So please Padfoot, don't even
think it.
No matter where I go
I know that you will be there
Take
care of Harry for me. Make sure he knows who his parents are. Tell him all
about us and our adventures. Keep him safe and tell him we love him and will
always be watching over him and you.
Tell him we are with you, always.
Give my love to Mari and Cassi, I'm sorry I
can't see Cassi grow up and be just as bad as her father. But I'm sure she and
Harry will be wonderful Marauders. Tell your sister, she's great and I will
miss her.
Forever more a part of me
you're everywhere
I'll always care
You will always be a part of me, more than
you can ever know. We've done so much together, so much for each other. It's hard to imagine I'll never see you
again. I don't want to believe it, but I have to. And so do you.
Keep Remus and Peter laughing. Make sure
Remus doesn't kill himself, and keep Peter out of trouble. He is our secret
keeper after all. Remember all the
times we've shared, torturing Snape,
pitch Black, full moon, and millions of
others. Stay strong, always laugh, and never give up.
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
Remus, I hope life is everything you wanted
it to be. I'm just sorry I can't be there to see you get married or have kids,
though I'm sure you'd be a great dad.
Don't get too down, remember how to laugh.
Whenever you feel alone on the full moon, remember that good old Padfoot,
Wormtail and Prongs will always be there with you.
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
Take care of Padfoot. He'll probably take
this the hardest. Don't let him blame himself.
Remember it's not any of your faults.
This was bound to happen. Once upon a time couldn't last forever.
Don't let anyone get to you, with werewolf
stuff. Remember, you are the most kind and gentle person I know. Remember who
you are, not what you are. That's what
matters.
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Just keep moving on. Don't dwell on the
past. Don't let Sirius do it either.
Look to the future. Look to Addi.
I hope you two have a wonderful life together.
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Never forget anything. Remember it all.
Don't hide from the memories, to don't to run away. Just live for the moment,
day by day, breath by breath. Live.
And I'll be right behind your shoulder
watching you
Stay strong, Peter. Don't let anyone else tell you what to do,
or bully you. Be yourself, that lovable little rat we know so well. I'll still be there when you need me, still
be your strength when you're weak.
I'll be standing by your side
and all you do
I hope you find someone, settle down, have a
family. She's out there, don't give
up. Just ask Sirius for some advice if
Mari will let him.
Whenever
you feel like you can't face something, I'll be there. I'll be your strength,
your back up.
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe
Never give up on me. I'll never give up on
you. Whenever you need me, I'll be
there. I promise.
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
Well this it is. This is the last time I will ever speak to you. You know,
contrary to popular belief, I do get scared. In fact, right now I am terrified.
Not only for myself, but for Lily and Harry too. Maybe if I hadn't been so
foolish, none of this would have happened.
I wouldn't have to say goodbye.
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember all the times we had, bad and good.
Remember all we did for each other. Stay friends, until the end. Never give up on each other. Stay strong and
be there when one of you needs each other. Be there for Moony on the full moon
and for Sirius on Christmas. You guys are my brothers. Nothing can ever change
that. I don't want to say goodbye. It's so final.
But
I'm not really, am I? Friends never say goodbye. So I guess it's more like so
long.
I'll see you guys again some day.
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Your dearest deer,
James (Prongs) Potter
This Way...
