A/N: Hi there! Yes, I know it's extremely short, but I really love the concept, you know? So I posted it in hopes that someone would enjoy it too. Oh, and don't forget to Review!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, that's it.
Lily Evans was fire.
She was mysterious and beautiful. She was a bright and inviting. Her warmth brought everyone in. But you could not get to close, because if you did, you'd get burnt.
If Lily Evan was fire, then James Potter was a forest.
Wild, untameable and beautiful. No matter how many times you talked to him you could never know what lingered in his depths. He was dark, at times, but intriguing none the less. If you spent too much time getting to know James Potter, you could get lost in him.
If Lily Evans was a fire and James Potter was a forest, then together, they were a wildfire. Uncontrollable, burning everything around them. Burning and burning.
Lily Evans burnt James Potter until there was nothing left of him. No depths, no mystery, no beauty, just rubble and dust. James Potter was nothing but a vast empty space full of what used to be the utmost beauty. His strong trees and intriguing flowers had burnt to the ground. Nothing was left, not even a shrub, not even a leaf, not even the twinkle in his eye.
But Lily Evans had burnt herself out, destroying the magnificent forest that was James Potter. She no longer flickered and there was no heat. Without anything to feed off of, she went out and lost herself in the rubble that used to be James Potter.
No more fire and no more forest. No more beautiful explosions or intriguing depths.
