You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play
Draco,
This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do,
but I know these words are going to be just as difficult for
you to read. Here goes anyway... I've known for a year now that
I would be leaving you but I haven't had the heart to say so.
I guess you could say it was selfish and I'm sorry. I should not
have led you on, knowing our relationship would not last but at
the time, I believed we needed each other. That need remains,
but I will not be able to provide it any longer. Merlin, this is
the hardest thing I've ever had to say... I guess if you want to
be technical that should say 'this is the hardest thing I've ever
had to write' but...
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there when you come back down
When you come back down
The parchment soaked up his tears like the desert takes in the
rain, "How the fuck could he do this to me? He knew for a year
and didn't have the balls to tell me? Did you know about this
Weasel?" A mixture of hurt and anger fill his grey eyes when
he saw the redhead try to hide his shame.
I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire
Dumbledore told me about the horacurxes in our sixth year, but
it was a month after our fourth date that I learned the identity
of the sixth and last horacrux. By then I was already head over
heels for you and couldn't bear to tell you the truth. It would
have been much easier then to tell you that it was me. I should
have been a right bastard to you, it probably wouldn't hurt as
bad as it does now. Once again, I'm sorry for not doing it sooner.
I'll be on the other line
To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly
If you get too high I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall
"I'm sorry mate. He gave me the letter ages ago and told me to
give it to you when..." He looked down at his shoes, not wanting
to say the word. "He did it for you. I don't know if he would
have been able to... He would have done anything to save your
life."
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings
But remember this, through me, you have saved the wizarding world.
I never would have had enough strength to do this, if not for you.
Consider yourself a hero Love. You've gave my life meaning, you made
it all possible. I Love You.
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there when you come back down
When you come back down
Until we meet beyond the Veil.
Harry
