The color of roses
I held you close to me
I looked at James across the room. He was the most gorgeous thing to grace
this earth. But he would never be interested in me. Guys like James don't go
out with girls like Lily.
Once in a distant dream
Far from the shores of my fear
James looked down at his paper. He couldn't concentrate. Lily was talking
quietly with her best friend , Saree . They were both some of the most popular
girls in the school. So why was it that , when every other girl swooned at his
feet , Lily wouldn't...
I sailed on this ocean
Where all I imagined could happen
And now you are here
I can't do this ! I have to let go ! But letting go is so hard ...
It is so hard to touch
What is out of our hands
To know , and to trust
What the heart understands
James liked Lily. He had always been her friend , from day one. But as soon
as he began to realize he wanted more than friendship , he had backed off.
Their brother / sister relationship was down around ignoring each other. Lily
didn't know , but he thought she could sense it. And when he stopped hanging
around her , she thought he was mad at her. He wasn't ...

This is so infuriating ! Why should I like James ? He has been one of my
best friends from the very first day. We told each other everything ! So why
all of a sudden did he begin to ignore me ? He knew. He knew and he wanted to
discourage it. God Lily , you are so stupid !
Life gives us magic
And life gives us tragedy
Everyone suffers somewhat
Lily . Lily Evans. Lily Potter ... ? No that would never happen. Lily went
out with guys like Sirius. Handsome , Quidditch player , popular ... James knew
he was all of those things , but he lacked something that Sirius had. He didn't
know what , but something wasn't there.
Still we have faith in it
Child like hope
There's a reason that outweighs the cause
It's really confusing sometimes. When our heart tells us one thing , and our
head tells us something else. I glanced down at my paper , and began to doodle.
Not realizing what I had done , I had begun to write "Lily Potter". I
quickly charmed it off , hoping no one had seen.
And gravity throws
All these rules in our way
And sometimes the spirit
Refuses to play
James sighed. It wasn't fair ! He looked at Lily again , she had a far off
look in her eyes as she doodled mindlessly on her paper. Lily ... Doodling ? It
didn't fit some how. Ms. Lily Evans , Ms. I get great marks Lily Evans. Ms.
Head Girl Lily Evans. James wondered who she was thinking of ...

I had a really weird dream last night. All I could see were flashes. A
wedding , a baby , a house and then there was a flash of green light , and it
all disappeared. I could hear a woman screaming in the background , about what
I didn't know. But I had woken up with tears wetting my face , not knowing what
I had been crying about.
And oh love
Turn me around in your arms
And in this dream we share
Let us know one kiss
James leaned back in his chair. He was going out with Aimee Grant , a
Ravenclaw , and he was in love with Lily. James knew he had rep for that kind of
thing , but this was going a bit far. He could hit himself for falling for Lily
, but something in her eyes changed that felling each time she looked at him.
Her eyes were so green , you could get lost in them.
And add my regret
To the tears in the rain
I looked at James , who was leaning back comfortably in his chair. Every bit
the typical guy. James was going out with Aimee , one of the prettiest girls in
the year. Much prettier than me. God James , sometimes you are so lost in the
forest , you cant see the trees. Why can't you just wake up and see what's in
front of you ?
That's what
The color of roses contain
James smiled to himself , thinking about all the good time he had with Lily.
Pushing her in the lake , her pulling him right in with him , painting Ms
.Norris , playing tricks on the Slytherins ... I wish ... But that was all over
now. Stupid Lily , why did you let me fall in love with you ?
Only the ones who believe
Ever see what they dream
Ever dream...
And the two sat on opposite sides of the room , each wishing , and hoping
for the same thing ... and never knowing.
Ever dream ...
What comes true
