Side By Side

Side by side

We have always been


Side by side

We loved

We made vows to always stay together

I was a monster

But yet you still loved me


Side by side

We talked

We wanted to have a child

But I was afraid that he'd be like me

You convinced me that it didn't matter


Side by side

We laughed

Our son's smiling face beamed up at us

You gave him to me to hold

I almost dropped him out of excitement


Side by side

We fought

When Hogwarts needed help we came

We fought off many Death Eaters

We helped to buy time for Harry Potter


Side by side

We died

We sacrificed ourselves for the greater good

We took many Death Eaters with us

Then death called out our own names


Side by side

We lie buried

Our hands are clasped together

As a sign on our everlasting love

And our spirits soar together in this next life


Side by side

We have always been

Side by side

We will always stay
