I do not own Harry Potter.
Just testing this out ..
Inspiration struck.
Here goes.
Did he really have to leave.
After everything that's been done.
All that's been said.
Did he really have to leave in such a way.
Not a goodbye. Not a see you later.
Not a word. To anyone.
There one day. Gone the next.
Like a gentle summer breeze that flows though an open window.
Here but for a few fleeting seconds.
Gone so you quick you don't even realize it.
There were never any signs..
Least none I could see. He looked so happy now.
Carefree.
I thought he got what he wanted after all these years. I thought wrong.
His family he left behind still looks for him.
They still wonder what happened.
Where it all went wrong.
I don't think they will ever know…
I don't think anyone but him does.
He did what he said he would.
Old boy Tom is gone.
But now so to is he.
Maybe it's better this way.
He won't get hurt anymore at least.
Life still moves on.
I saw him. Its been 5 years.
He looks happy. Truly happy for the first time.
I can even see the light in his eyes.
He has a new name. New family.
And I pretend I didn't see him. I go back to my own family. My side of the earth and I don't speak of what I saw.
I won't take away the happiness he finally found.
If anyone deserves it it's him.
And that makes me happy
