You Wish He Knew
You thought you'd have time to make things work. You thought you could woo him, could make him see that there was more to you than jokes and silliness. You thought after the war, you'd be able to show him just how much you cared, and you could prove to him that you could make him happy.
You were wrong.
It didn't hurt when you died. It was pain free and simple, and yet, your heart broke because his face was the last thing you saw and he looked horrified. You hadn't seen him for months, and then he was there and you wanted to kiss him and then you were dead.
Its a strange experience, being dead. You floated above, watching sadly as your family grieved for you. You watched Harry carefully, though he was surrounded by those he loved yet couldn't see. You could see them now, you were one of them.
You wish that things could be different. You wish you could have lived, even if you didn't have him, because it would have been one less death on his conscience. You know it wasn't his fault, and you wish you could tell him that, to ease the burdens you can see in your eyes.
You wish he knew you loved him.
