Severus Snape sat and watched the leaves fall past the window. He couldn't focus on them. The wind swirling around was equally unnoticeable. He couldn't stop thinking about Lily Evans. He loved her, but she had married James Potter, had a son and died. He thought that if he had married her it never would have happened. He wouldn't have let anything happen to her, ever. He would continue to think of her until the end of his days. Trapped, with death as his only exit, he understood everything, but the one thing he really wanted was lost to him forever. Lily.
