In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I'll pray to the God's: let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

I stood in front of his grave, sobbing, wondering why it had to be like this. It didn't make any sense. Draco. My lover. My friend. My savior. Gone. Taken away from me. Forever. I thought back when we first met. I smiled a bit, as I remembered the warmth of his touch. His smile, his laughter. I couldn't get any of that. Not anymore. He had left me. Alone. With no one to seek comfort. An image of him giving asking me out on a date popped into my head. Him bringing me flowers, roses to be specific, every day. Him proposing and looking stunning at our marriage. Him comforting me through my mood swings while I was pregnant with Scorpius. Him grasping my hand, as we stared at our newborn son, tears streaming down his face. Him apologizing for something I had done wrong. Him...him. He was gone. Then why do I keep thinking about him? Wasn't I supposed to let him go?

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears
Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay
Reminds me again
It's worth it all
So I can go home

I returned to Draco's grave the day after. Ginny had volunteered to babysit Scorpius, while I was gone. Again, memories of him rushed into my head as I made my way closer and closer to his tombstone. It was all too much for me. I sobbed, silently. I sank to the ground, my knees cushioned by the fallen snow. I bent forward and rested my head on his tombstone. Tears rolled down my face and they fell onto the ground. I thought, again, of everything we had been through together. "I miss you", I whispered to him. And then, all of a sudden, I started telling him everything that had happened since he had left. How Scorpius and I had missed him so bad, how much I wept every night, because of him, how I had nightmares about him, every night, how they usually reenacted his sudden death, how I would wake up, screaming for him to be there for me, to comfort me. I snapped back to reality, when I felt cold drops of water slipping down my back. I looked up at the sky and, sure enough, I could see little flakes of snow, falling. Instantly, I thought of a time when Draco and I had made snow angels together. We had a snowball fight and when we got back home, we were dripping wet. I stood up and brushed snow off of my leggings. One question remained. Why was I so connected to the memories we had together? I knew the answer. It was the only way I could remember him. Memories were made for keeping, and I was going to keep them. Till the end.

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I love you till the end of time

I returned the next day. The same old memories relived themselves. I saw him smile and my heart fluttered. That would never change. I would, and will, keep all those memories with me, forevermore. I never wanted to let go of him. It was all worth it. Coming here, remembering our time together. I had promised him that I would never let him go. No matter what happened. I walked away, once more, but not before whispering a silent, "I love you." to him.
