Title: Holding Your Hands for all Eternity
Everyday for eleven years, I would wake up at the Dursley's house. Where I was both unwanted and unloved. All my life all I wanted was to be loved – to be wanted.
I set out on a narrow way
Many years ago
Hoping I would find true love
Along the broken road
Then I found out I was a wizard, but of course I—Harry Potter—never have good luck .I then found that I wasn't just any wizard. I was The-Boy-Who-Lived. My density was to save the world. And you… you were supposed to help destroy it.
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped by brow
And kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign
Pointed straight to you
I had always had dreams, no not dreams - nightmares. They got worse after Sirius died, because they where no longer visions of what Voldemort was doing. No I got use to those. No, these were different. These weren't visions of the present or the future. These were actually dreams. Dreams of the hell my mind made up of what Sirius was going through. These were my own thoughts and dreams. That's what scared me the most.
Every long lost dream
Led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart
Were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms
That's when I would sneak out and go to the Astronomy Tower. I went up there every time I couldn't sleep. No one else ever went up there. Not until the night I walked in and there you were crying. I never thought I would see the great Draco Malfoy crying. But there you were. In some horrible way – your tears against the moonlight seemed so beautiful to me. It was then I realized I wanted to wipe away your tears and protect you
. . . forever.
This much I know
Is true
That God blessed
The broken road
That led me
Straight to you
I couldn't believe it when you, the great Harry Potter, put your arms around me that night. You knew who I was but you didn't care. It was like the past didn't even happening. Like you and me weren't suppose to be enemies, but something else. You just held me and told me everything would be ok. You made it ok.
I think about the years I spent
Just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost
And give it back to you
When I finally stopped crying, you asked me what was wrong. I didn't say anything. I couldn't tell you, not yet. And you just looked into my eyes and smiled knowingly. You knew I needed time to process my own thoughts. You simply put your hands in mine, before leaning in and gently kissing me.
But you just smile
And take my hand
You've been there
You understand
It's all part of a grander plan
That is coming true.
I finally told you why I was crying that night. We'd been dating for a year, and I was holding you in bed, the same way you held me that night. I told you that you where the reason I was crying. I had a dream you died in the final battle, and I woke up crying. That was the night my life changed forever. It was the night I knew I could never, would never, become a death eater. That was the night you enter my life. And that was the night I knew that you were the only person I could ever love.
Every long lost dream
Led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms
I pulled out a silver ring from my pocket and took your hands in mine the way you did the night everything changed. I told you I loved you and that I would love you forever. Then I asked you to be with me forever. Your only answer was a smile and a nod. I saw the tears of joy in your eyes that began to fall. I looked into your eyes and smiled neither of us said anything because we both new words were unnecessary.
This much I know
Is true
That God blessed
The broken road
That led me
Straight to you
Our wedding day – was the best day of our lives…
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arm
We were surrounded by our family and friends as we took our vows that would bond us together for all of eternity.
This much I know
Is true
That God blessed
The broken road
That led me
Straight to you
We placed the rings on each other's hands. We continued to hold hands the way we had done so many times before, as Dumbledore pronounced us married. We sealed our bond with a kiss that would last forever.
That God blessed
The broken road
That led me straight
To you
