Vertical Horizon: Best I ever had (grey sky morning) song fic
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
After Harry broke up with her, Ginny felt like her heart would break. She knew why he was doing it, but she would rather be with him and in danger, then away from him and safe.
Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now
She would have nightmares after he left. She would wake up screaming his name and all she could remember of the dream was his still face.
Chorus
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
After a while, she started getting numb to it. The nightmares lessened but never entirely went away; still, she could cope with it all. She started realizing she would never get him back. He would change, and she would change, and they wouldn't love each other anymore.
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
She started losing herself. Whenever she thought back to how her life was, her mind would freeze. She would not be able to remember her joy, and she could not remember herself.
Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
At first, she got letters from him. He would apologize to her, telling her he still loved her but that just made it all worse.
Chorus
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had
But even the letters stopped in time. She wouldn't worry, she still got letters from Ron and Hermione, but he stopped writing. Eventually she figured he didn't need to anymore.
And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right
Ginny still felt like a lost soul, but she knew that, in time, she would heal from it. She could understand his reasons, just not how he could believe her able to stand his death, if that came. She didn't think she was strong enough for that yet.
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
He left at night. She didn't even get to say goodbye. Maybe that was for the best, but she wished he had stayed.
What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted
She was sad he left like he did, but she figured he might not have been able to leave otherwise. Still, she wished he had stayed. She would pretend that each time the door to her room opened it was he, saying his last goodbye.
Chorus
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever
He was the best she ever had. She loved him, and he loved her. But they weren't meant to be.
