Snape/Lily

This one takes place right after Severus called Lily a Mudblood and he realizes what a blow this could be on his life without her. How all the light in his life emanated from his friendship with her.

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry,

"Lily, I'm sorry! Please forgive me."

"Save it, Severus. We are done."

"Please- don't-"

You don't know how lovely you are.
I had to find you, tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,
Oh, lets go back to the start.
Running in circles, coming in tales,

"Don't you dare tell me what to do, Severus Snape!"

"I need you Lily!"

"What for, when you have friends like Avery and Macnair? Them in all of their pureblood GLORY!"

"Lily, I don't care about blood. You know that."

"Do I really, Sev? Because you seemed to make it clear today with your 'slip'." Lily said making air quotes.

"Do you have to keep bringing that up? I said I was sorry!"

"That's not enough."

"Well, what do you want me to do?" It had turned into a shouting match.

Heads are a science apart.
Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No-one ever said it would be this hard,
Oh take me back to the start.

"I don't know! Why don't you ask Rookwood? He could probably tell you which curse to use!"

"How could you even think anything like that? I would never curse you!"

"But you curse other people! You're almost as bad as Potter!"

"I am not! I would never curse anyone just because they're walking on the wrong side of the hallway! I would never jinx somebody just because they happen to be standing there!"

"I don't even know why I'm wasting my time with you! I'm going!"

"NO! Wait, Lily!" She shot him one last contemptuous look before leaving him alone. Forever. "Please." He whispered to the silence. He began to walk away from the spot and wandered around in the parts of the castle where he knew no one would be. He thought of all of the things that should have come out of his mouth.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures,
Pulling your puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
And tell me you love me, come back and hold me,

You deserve so much better, Lily. You deserve someone who always knows what to say. Someone who has money, personality, looks and brains. Not Potter though. That stupid scum sucking toadstool! At least you know that much. I wish I could have told you though. Maybe you would have stuck around then. You really deserve someone who will love you right.

Oh and I rush to the start.
Running in circles, chasing tails,
And coming back as we are.
Nobody said it was easy,
oh its such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No-one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm going back to the start.

The End
