I wish

Jily songfic with Snape's narration to One Direction's I wish. First song fic ever! Please review!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER NOR ONE DIRECTION OR THEIR SONG I WISH THOUGH I WISH I DID!

As I watched the love of my life fall in love with someone else, I felt my last connection to the outside world fade. I watched as she fell for the boy who bullied me, the boy she so often called an arrogant toerag.

I watched as she looked into HIS eyes with love, as she let HIM take her hand and walk through the corridors side by side. I watched as my heart slowly breaks into what is deemed now as tiny, insignificant pieces.

I pondered on why I never told her when I was younger, when I still had my chance sometimes. I think I was afraid of rejection and because I was afraid she would leave and I would lose my last connection to being sane.

When she would come near me, I felt nervous. I know she never saw me as anything other than a friend but I couldn't help but wish that one day she would notice that I am the one who truly loves her.

But now as I watch as you and HIM dance in the moonlight at the courtyard, I can't help but be captivated by your celestial beauty. And as I see you meet HIM with a passion filled kiss, I feel my heart breaking into pieces again.

I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I never called you that cursed name. Would you have still chosen him over me? Or would I have had a chance to change what fate so cruelly played against me?

HE would never match my love for you but you cannot see it. I know that HE says HE loves you but it would never be as much a mine. HE can do the things I want to. HE can hold you close, kiss you, keep you safe in HIS arms but it will never compare to what we could have had.

I wanted to tell you so much that I love you but alas another has captured your heart. Now I suffer the penalty of a broken heart and yet, I feel compelled to still hope and to still fantasize about a future together with you.

I often fantasize that HIM and I switched places to even once hold your waist as you spin gaily as we danced in the moonlight and for me to be the one you kissed before retiring to sleep. I wish I could be the one you loved.

Even if you could know of how much I cared for you and of how much I loved you and sacrificed for you, I know it would never be enough to win your love. But I can still dream, fantasize and even wish that it were so.

Please listen to the Song, I wish by One Direction to understand the plot of the story. Thanks! :)
