Author's Note: The way that Lucius feels about Narcissa.
I never expected
To feel anything towards you,
Nor did I ever expect
For you to feel anything
Towards me.
I never would have thought
That such care and devotion
Could truly exist.
I never expected
That someone would ever
Be able to look inside me
And see what I am able
To keep hidden
From the rest of the world.
To you alone
Will I offer my bare soul.
For you alone
Will I have a soul.
I never expected
That there would ever be someone
Who I would be able
To trust absolutely.
My secrets
I know you will never betray,
Just like I know
You will never stab me
In the back.
I never expected
That someone would ever
Have such loyalty towards me.
What comfort I take in the fact
That you will never abandon me
No matter how much
Our world may go wrong
And no matter how many times
I fail you in every way possible.
I never expected
That there would ever be someone
Who would risk so much
To honour and defend me,
Even though it would
Be safer for you
To distance yourself from me.
I never expected
To have someone
Who makes me complete
And who is truly my life partner.
Together we can accomplish anything.
Together no goal is unattainable.
I never expected
For there to ever by someone
Who I would be unable
To live without.
I would be better off dead
If I did not have you,
For you are the one thing
That truly gives my life
Meaning and purpose.
