Title: Goodbye

Summary: No beautiful goodbye. FleurCedric oneshot.

Disclaimer: I own neither HP nor the song "One Word".

A/N: Based on the song "One Word" by Anouk. I've taken some lines and adapted them, so it's not technically a songfic.

-------------------------------

And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone

Why are you lying here, so cold? Why are not up, shouting and celebrating with the rest of us? Why do they not see what I see? Why can't you be what they expect you to be? Alive. Happy. Why aren't you here? Why, Cedric?

I didn't do a thing to make you stay; I didn't say a word to make you stay

I wanted to talk to you. Before the task. I wanted to tell you that I love you. Even if you're with her. I love you Cedric. I held myself back, thinking that there would be another time. Another day. But there isn't. There will never be another day for you. And I will never get another chance to tell you that I love you.

I close my eyes and imagine you're here

If I close my eyes tight enough I can almost pretend you're just sleeping. Not dead. You look so peaceful if I try just hard enough. I hope you are at peace now. Please come back.

My thoughts unsaid; stuck in my head

I admire you. For your strength. Your kindness. For the way you help my little sister speak English. It is adorable. You are adorable. Were. You were adorable. Oh Cedric.

Never forget to give all I have

You taught me a valuable lesson Cedric. You taught me to love. I always thought love would hurt, and I didn't want to love, because I didn't think I could stand the hurt. And now I love. And I hurt. Even worse than I had imagined it to be. I feel like my heart is with you, and because you're dead my heart is too. My body feels empty...not complete. I miss you Cedric.

No beautiful goodbye
