Promises to Keep
Preface
This is going to be a Draco/Ginny fic, based on the song The Hardest Thing by 98º. It is several years after Hogwarts, and Ginny is with Harry. Life seems to be going good and smooth…until the past is revisited.
DISCLAIMER: All material (meaning characters save Monica and ideas of magic) are belonging to Ms. J.K. Rowling…sadly, I am not the genius behind the Harry Potter stories. The song and its lyrics belong to the band 98º and its associates…sadly, I am not behind the genius of this piece of songwriting either. Further, there are some lines that I stole from Lord of the Rings (the movie)…sorry, but they were just so perfect I couldn't resist. So those lines belong to all the LotR people. All mentions of these items in this story and its chapters is disclaimed HERE. So don't sue me.
We both know that I
shouldn't be here
This is wrong
And baby it's killin' me, it's killin' you
Both of us tryin' to be strong
I've got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
Someone else who loves me
And trusts me fast asleep
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion
When you start to cry
I can't let you see
What you mean to me
When my hands are tied
And my heart's not free
We're not meant to be
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
I know that we'll meet again
Fate has a place and time
So you can get on with your life
I've got to be cruel to be kind
Like Dr. Zhivago
All my love I'll be sending
And you will never know
'Cause there can be no happy ending
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion
When you start to cry
I can't let you see
What you mean to me
When my hands are tied
And my heart's not free
We're not meant to be
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to, I can't stay
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion
When you start to cry
I can't let you see
What you mean to me
When my hands are tied
And my heart's not free
We're not meant to be
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
Sometimes sacrifices must be made…keep caution in your mind but love in your heart.
