My Dearest Severus:
Forgive me for using an endearment, but I think it is fair for me, for this is the last chance I have to address you.
Time and time again over this last year I have asked myself if staying with you was the right choice. It is not that I regret ever coming to feel what I feel towards you, I assure you. I cannot lie to you, while I always told you that having you by my side was more than enough, I have o confess it wasn't. Perhaps you were right and, at the end, I did have an ulterior motive. I wanted, and if I am being honest, still want, for you to love me. Please do not sneer at my words, I know I was, and am, being silly, delusional even, but I can't help it.
I do love you. But I cannot keep going on like this. The way you dismiss my every word of love hurts me more than the last one. The way you dream of her and call her name in the middle of your most vivid nightmares is like a million daggers embedded in my heart are rotating on no end. The heart wrenching way your eyes change whenever her name is dropped in a conversation makes mine tear up.
Do not concern yourself; I have faced worse fate than a broken heart.
These words are, Severus, just to assure you that I did indeed leave, if you ever notice my absence in your life. I am well, or at least I will be some day.
You need not look for me for I will likely not go back. I need some time to pick the pieces of my broken heart and mend it back together.
I would like to tell you that I left everything you gave me in these past years, I can't. I take with me the Slytherin scarf you wrapped around me for our very first dinner together. Call me sentimentalist, if you must.
And forgive me if I am being presumptuous in leaving behind the Gryffindor one you insist on trying to burn. Do it now, I won't mind. At all.
Forgive me, Severus. Forgive me for giving up on us. I don't have any more will power left. I am afraid I lost it all trying to love you.
Wherever I find myself and however far away I am from you, dearest, know that I will forever love you. I just think it will be easier loving you from afar.
Always yours,
Hermione Jean Granger.
As he finished reading her name, Severus Snape griped tighter the red and gold Gryffindor scarf in his hand, not noticing when the first of many tears escaped from his left eye.
Thank you for reading. I hope you liked this little thing. If you find any mistakes in grammar or orthography, please feel free to tell me:)
This ''letter'' was inspired in the song ''Basta'' from the Mexican singer Ericka ''Kika'' Edgar.
Love, Hada.
