Today

Today

What is it about you that makes me love you? I've never really been sure until now. Now I know. Desire and lust may bring us together, but family and friends will bring us apart. Our love is forbidden, and yet we embrace it, as if it were some sort of challenge. You mean the world to me, and yet, I cannot have you. When we kiss I feel like I'm in heaven, away from all my troubles, and yet, I cannot want you without risking both our lives. Your reputation, your job...my education. Student Teacher relationships never were very easy. Sometimes I dream about you in the more boring of my lessons - sure, I love lessons, but History Of Magic really is the most boring of all. One day I dreamed that our love was allowed, that we could roam free in the bosom of our entrapment. Now I realize - that entrapment, that secrecy we have to keep about us - is what makes me want you.

Today is the greatest day I've ever known

Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long

I burn my eyes out

Before I get out

I wanted more than life could ever grant me

Bored by the chore of saving face

Today is the greatest day I have ever known

Can't wait for tomorrow, I might not have that long

I'll tear my heart out

Before I get out

I love you, and yet I cannot have you. I see beyond the stern Professor, I see into a mind of immense complexity and confusion, and this I love. Your life is tarnished by rugged patches of hurt and torment. Why did you have to go through this all by yourself? But it's okay now - I am here with you. Forever and a day, I will love you. Please believe me, my love. Our love is all that keeps me together any more. Yes, I know, I am a girl of sixteen and you are a grown man of thirty-seven, but age is of no factor to me. What is twenty years or so to love?

Pink ribbon scars that never forget

I've tried so hard to cleanse these regrets

My angel wings were bruised and restrained

My belly stings

Do you regret what you did? I see the scars on your back when we are together. Did they hurt you? Do you know what I would give to kill the men who hurt you so much? I would die for you, and yet I wonder whether this is true love. I lust after you every second we are apart. But is it the secrecy of our relationship that makes me crave for you to scream my name in ecstasy? Maybe, if we told people, the ones that understood would say we went too fast, we loved too quickly. But for us, it was perfect. I hungered after you, your touch, your sweet whispers; your body resting against mine...perhaps it is just a teenage romance. You know, the kind you see in Muggle cinemas. But I think I am falling for you. Are you falling for me?

Today is, today is

Today is the greatest day that I have ever known

I want to turn you on

I want to turn you round

I want to turn you on

I want to turn you

I feel your presence when you walk in the room, like we are connected in some mysterious way. When we make love we seem to know what the other wants, and take it only so far. This I lust for. No one has ever treated me like this before - not Harry, not Dean...no one. But you do, my serpent. You are like an angel to me, your touches. You are my love, my one true...so far. I want to climb to the top of the Astronomy tower, and yell your name to the world. I want to shout our love around the castle. I want to make all those who lust after me jealous of you. I want you to feel wanted. And on that day, we shall love forever more.

Today is the greatest

Today is the greatest day

Today is the greatest day that I have ever known

I love you, Severus Snape.

This is for you.
