I know we've got a lot to say
Between now and forever
But I'd be a game if you would play
and my dear you get better
All throughout the day
You smile and walk away
All I can think to do
Is follow you
If you leave I'll be crawling back for more
if you need love I'll be standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you'd be my cure
wherever you think I am tonight
just know we're miles from a heartbreak
Because in the blink of a pretty brown eye
I'll be right where you are baby
sometime along the way you take my breath away
distracted by the view
I fall right into you
and if you ever leave I'll be crawling back for more
and if you ever need love I'll be standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you would be my cure
they say I need to see all the people out there waiting
but you take one look at me
and I know the mistake I'd be making
cuz if you ever leave I'll be crawling back for more
and if you ever need love I'm standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you be my cure
I know we've got a lot to say between now and forever
Lily thought she would never love anyone. Mainly because she hadn't really thought about it. She was always so caught up in everything else.
When she nine, she met a young Severus Snape. She hadn't known it at the time, but she'd fallen for him rather quickly. He told her of a magical world, one she thought existed only in fairy tales. He used odd terms- "Merlin!" for instance. Who says that? But she stayed by him, despite his dark thoughts, weird looks, and general soppy moods. Over time, she made him think brighter, smile more, and be happier. She'd cured him of depression.
She and Sev were thick as thieves. …. Until she was fifteen. Then he called her a Mudblood, and her heart, she swore, shattered. Snape then fell, down, down, down, while she soared upward, dating other guys and goofing off with her Gryffindor friends to get over him. Eventually, she did.
The James Potter came along. Well, he'd been there for quite some time, since they were eleven, really, but she fell for him faster than she had Severus. When they started dating, Lily wasn't as bright and light-hearted as she had been, but James made sure nothing ever fazed him. He took everything in stride as it hit him.
The only time she ever saw him speechless was she finally said yes, and then, a couple years later, when she told him she was going to have his child.
Still, James made her a very happy camper. She forgot Severus all throughout that year-their seventh- because he generally avoided James Potter and his cronies- now her very, very best friends- like the plague. But James cured her, as she had cured Severus Snape all those years ago.
Mind, Snape didn't stay cured after he lost Lily, but, nevertheless, her charms had worked for a time.
Lily hadn't expected to say yes to James' offer of forever. But she did, and she died with him.
