A Fleeting Star Can Be Caught By Anyone But Me
A HariPo freeverse piece
by mew-tsubaki
Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. My first Lily/Sirius, and a birthday present for Morghen. xD Read, review, and enjoy!

"I am happy
That I have you
Even though you're not here now
I know somewhere
You are dreaming
Though it's definitely not of me"
—Depeche Mode, "It Doesn't Matter"

Lily, dear Lily
How are you
tonight?
I know you're asleep somewhere,
somewhere safe
&& at a place where few can reach you
And I k n o w
that though…
No, never mind
I'll bother you
another night
##########
Lily, sweet Lily
Working for the Order
is straining
&& my thoughts are
G R I M
(nice little pun, eh?)
But it's the truth
When?
How?
Where?
Who?
I know some day it will happen,
but I don't want to think of
it right now
It's…dangerous out here,
So please
keep me in your pra—
No, forget it
You have your life
&&… I'll find mine
##########
Lily, bright Lily
You are the only one seeing
rightthroughme
(and it stings more than that Curse my brother threw at me last week)
James doesn't see
Not even Remus
But
Y O U
There you are, with that reproving look
& those knowing viridian eyes…
Please, just…
Keep those eyes only on
M E
##########
Lily, my Lily
Forget the pleasantries
Look at the world around you
The world in which you live
I know I shouldn't
(I've caught myself a l l those other times)
But I can't stop it
So let me be a snake for once
Let me be human
Let me be a MAN
I know you think of him & love him
(He's more my brother than Regulus ever will be)
But I could make you happier
I could ignite passion
in you
So please consider me
This war can't go on forever
&& I
can't go on without you

First and foremost, this is for you, Morghen. People can love or hate this, but this is yours. So, yes, I finally wrote Lily/Sirius even though I still think he belongs with Ginny. XD But this was fun and very emotional. Sirius is a sweetie; it's the pull of the Black brothers. ;) And there's a sequel, too: "And in the last moment."
Thanks for reading, and please review!
-mew-tsubaki :D
2016 note: Hmm. I do love me some Sirius, but…I dunno. I have mixed feelings about this, but that mostly just 'cuz of my love for Sirius & Remus. XD The writing's not bad, tho.
