Part of your world
Time passes quickly
we change with the days,
like the flowers do
through seasons.
We try to remain the same,
to never change,
to never grow.
But we can't stop time.
What is worse is distance,
putting itself between us,
making us long for each other
and doesn't letting us be near.
I tried to keep contact,
but you wouldn't know
what I lived here,
even if I told you.
I wrote long letters,
but you only replied with love.
Well, I'm glad you love me,
but I wanted advice!
The troll was just a beginning,
to what came after.
Stones, chambers, fugitives.
And things worse than that.
I found a family here,
with my two best friends
and the biggest family
I ever knew.
A whole family for me
and you weren't part of it.
Not after time and distance
made us belong to different worlds.
When times were hard,
we had each other's back.
But I sent you away
to the other side of the world.
I never lift the spell
that erased your memories of me.
Because when I found you there
you were waiting for a kid.
I never knew if that sibling
was a boy or a girl.
I would like to say I don't care,
but I do and I regret.
Still, it's for the best
that you stay away from me.
I'll let you be happy
as a family should be.
Your kid will be a muggle,
I can feel it on my mind.
You won't have to worry
like you always did with me.
I'm sorry mother, father,
for leaving you alone.
But this world is something
greater than my own.
I tried to make it right,
but I know I was just selfish.
This isn't your fault,
or even magic's.
It's all because I couldn't bear
the thought of you being alone,
but I wasn't going to leave
this world for yours.
I am a witch, not a muggle,
a stranger and not your daughter.
Even if I wished to,
I wouldn't be part of your world.
