Addicted to Love
Summary: "The more he spent time with her, the more he found himself wanting more. The more he craved it. At the same time, he involved himself into something he shouldn't have." He knew he couldn't have both, but at the same time, he found himself addicted…
Pairing: Snape x Lily
"The lights are on but you're not home. Your mind is not your own. Your heart sweats, your body shakes. Another kiss is all it takes. You can't sleep, you can't eat. There's no doubt, you're in deep. Your throat is tight, you can't breathe. Another kiss is all you need. Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah. It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough. You know you're gonna have to face it. You're addicted to love."

It wasn't long before he was left alone to ponder his life.
To think about what the reality of it all was.
He had been practicing dark magic, that's all. Something that interested him. Something that he had loved.
Was it bad to love two things at once?
~oOo~
It took a single smile, a single laugh, a single touch, and his knees melted.
He was hooked.
He had tried to shrug it off, but she had almost a drug-like effect on him. He was infatuated with her.
Her green eyes lit up his day like the sun brightened up the sky. Her fiery red hair blazed with defiance and confidence every single moment he saw her.
The summer he had met her had been his best.
The summer she had left him had been his worst.
~oOo~
He tried to refrain himself.
It hadn't taken him long to realize that he could only have one.
The more he spent time with her, the more he found himself wanting more.
The more he craved more.
At the same time, he involved himself into something he shouldn't have.
It intrigued him.
He wanted more.
He wanted both.
~oOo~
It wasn't long before she found out. It wasn't long before he needed to pick one.
He tried to balance it out.
He tried to make it work.
She left him for someone else.
He continued his journey into the darkness.
It wasn't long before he fell.
He felt himself falling and falling, into a pit of darkness.
Falling endlessly and endlessly into the dark.
~oOo~
It was different when she had left his side.
He felt a loss of some sort, but he couldn't place his finger on it.
He felt lonely.
It hadn't been much of a big deal to him, as this was the way he had been before she had met him.
He convinced himself of this.
However, it felt worse than the usual.
It felt of rejection, almost. It crushed his heart when she had left.
It was eating his mind out, and it had crushed his entire being.
He needed an escape.
An escape that let him fall in love all over again.
The same escape that had been the reason she left him.
~oOo~
He had fallen a long time ago.
He had fallen in love.
But now, the sensation was different.
He was falling, and he couldn't pick himself back up.
He couldn't pick himself back up because he was addicted.
Addicted to love.
~oOo~
"You see the signs but you can't read. You're running at a different speed. Your heart beats in double time. Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind. You can't be saved. Oblivion is all you crave. If there's some left for you. You don't mind if you do. Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah. It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough. You know you're gonna have to face it. You're addicted to love."
