I first posted this ficlet here in FanFiction.net back when Fiction Press still was not made into another site. It stayed there until now, and I just realized that it goes with Harry/Ginny angst fics…so I posted it here.

Once in our lives, we will experience this…unrequited love. Loving is not at all bad, but if we are hurting one while loving, then that is bad. This is the story of a girl who gave everything to make the man she loves to love him back.

Please read this story with all your heart.

Enough

By Corkilue

I did everything of my power to make you happy.

To make you love me.

To make you see that we belong to each other.

Yet to you, I don't exist.

I'm invisible, aren't I?

You never did notice me.

I made everything perfect for you.

To make you think of me as someone you would likely love.

The one you would learn to love, the one you would protect.

But, all my efforts are in vain.

You still search for someone else.

That girl, that girl is always on your mind.

Not me.

And it will never be me.

And I ask all of this to you.

I tell you everything that my heart wants to.

Every little emotion bottled up inside me.

You whisper my name.

I thought hope would come.

That finally, once and for all, you have learned to love me.

I come towards you, hoping that I am right.

But my heart was shattered when you told me…

"Please…please. That's enough. Stop loving me. She's the one I love, and you're not her."

Those bitter words cut deeply in my now bleeding heart.

It was like a dagger that you threw at me.

I really tried to do as what you told me to.

I tried to stop my emotions coming out.

But I can't.

I love you too much to stop.

No, I haven't even told you how much I loved you.

Yet, you commanded me to stop.

To stop the impossible.

You told me to stop loving you.

No…I wouldn't stop.

Not being her was not enough to let me stop loving you.

It was not enough.

Then I told you…

"Please…just let me love you…"

You look into my eyes with a question that I know.

Why?

That was what I could read in your eyes.

I smiled at you.

"Please…loving you…it's enough for me…"

I choked, with tears strangling to come out of my eyes.

"Although you won't love me back…loving you is enough for me…for loving you is my reason for living…"
