You have a smile on your face, and you are glowing as you look at him. He is your soul mate, your other half. You are laughing at his joke, your face alight with perfect happiness as you rest your hand on your ever-growing stomach. You will be the perfect mother, the mother of his children. I can see deep in your emerald eyes that your life is perfect. Everything about you is perfect.
Yet it still cuts me inside, burying the shard of glass deeper and deeper into my heart. Every touch, every word, every smile is for him. Every touch, every word, and every smile is another tear that rips my bloodied heart even more.
Do you remember me? Spare a thought for me? Your Sevvie, your best friend, the one who knew you forever? Do you spend even a second thinking of me? I think of you every moment of every day.
Why him? He tends to your every word; I would tend to your every thought. He understands your thoughts; I understand what is so deep in your mind that you don't even think it. I would die for you in a heartbeat to have you look at me the way you look at him. To whisper my name the way you whisper his.
You turn and walk away, hand in hand. He is yours forever, and I am no more than a forgotten shadow in the dark. I should be angry, but instead I feel peace to see that you are happy.
It is bittersweet. But what isn't?
A/N- Hello! I got the idea for a short Lily/Snape drabble while listening to Adele's "Someone Like You." Hope that you enjoyed it!
