You Must Love Me
Lily sat sobbing in the corner of the apartment that she and James now shared. How could she have messed this up?
Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
She thought back to the moment her world shattered around her. James had been poking fun at her friend, Naomi, and, well, she over-reacted. She couldn't exactly remember the whole ordeal, but she did recall using the term "immature jerkwad".
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you
Things had been going perfectly. They were happy, and Lily knew that James really did care about her. But he could be such an idiot!
She heard a knock at the door. Enter James Potter, looking rather forlorn. "Lily?"
Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
Lily lifted her head. "James? Are you here to dump me? Because, looking back on it, that's what I deserve."
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive,
As we used to do?
James looked a bit shocked at Lily's statement. "Lily, I'm not here to break up!" He helped her up, and pulled a piece of her brilliant red hair out of her face.
Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
"Well, then why are you here? I thought you had to work an extra shift at the Ministry today." James was an Auror, a dark-wizard catcher.
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away
James fidgeted with his hands. He was very nervous about what he was going to say.
You must love me
You must love me
Lily watched James continue to fidget with his hands. 'Oh, no,' she thought, 'he has big news. But, is it good or bad, and will he be sleeping on the couch again tonight?'
Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Of course, Lily was still in shock that James didn't find some new witch and leave her, because there were some rather nasty things said.
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed
James looked up and took a deep breath. Here goes.
You must love me
"Lily, will you marry me?"
