"I Never"

Summary: this fic is in Harry's POV and it's about when he let Hermione slip through his fingers and later on realizes how he needed her.

I never thought that it would happen to me.

I never expected to fall in love with you.

I never realized how important you were to me.

I never knew how it would change me.

I never expected to want to fight for you.

I never expected to want to die for you.

I never thought that you loved me too.

I never made a move on you; our friendship was more important back then.

I never knew you were waiting for me.

I never knew you would stop waiting.

I never knew you would marry him.

I never thought that I was going to be the best man at your wedding.

I never thought that you would die.

I never tried to tell you I loved you more than 'just a friend'.

Now that I know, it's too late, you're already gone, and I waited too long.

I never knew how love could be so blind 'till you died.

I'm sorry that you will never know how much I really care for you.

I'm sorry that you never heard me say "I love you."

Now that you're gone forever,

I never expected to be standing at your grave reading this letter.

I hope you can hear me because I'm making you a promise, that I'll never doubt myself ever again.
