A/N: So this idea came to me as I was falling asleep. This is my first fanfiction in which I attempted dialogue...or more of monologue in this case. It's really really short but I hope you guys like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

-who suggested that I write a Severus/Lily fanfic-
it might have been...

"If of all words of tongue and pen,"
Severus Snape looked straight into those beautiful emerald eyes. "There's something I want to tell you," he started nervously.
Emerald green eyes stared right back at him. He fidgeted slightly under the silent gaze.
"I never had the chance to tell you this before." Severus started stuttering; he wasn't sure if he could do this.
He paused slightly. Those emerald eyes just kept staring at him.
"I didn't know what you would say, or how you would react."
Unblinking green eyes bored into him as he opened his mouth to speak again.
"I just wanted to tell you that…" he fidgeted and lowered his gaze to the floor. When he looked up, those emerald green eyes were still staring at him. "I-I love you."
Those beautiful eyes just kept looking right back at him. There were no emotions in those eyes. He didn't know what to expect next.
Severus could feel hot tears prickling in his eyes, threatening to spill out. He swallowed them back and continued. "If I hadn't been so stupid and careless and hadn't called you that word in our fifth year…it might have been different. Between us."
Those green eyes were fixed on him and as a wave of sadness hit him, he let the tears flow freely and run down his face. "But it's too late. And I regret it," he sobbed.
And the picture of Lily Evans Potter just continued to stare down at him with silent, unmoving, emerald green eyes as he sobbed his heart out.
"the saddest are, 'It might have been.'"
