The Reason by Hoobastank
I'm not a perfect person,
There's many things I wish I didn't do,
But I continue learning,
I never meant to do those things to you,
And so I have to say before I go,
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me,
To change what I used to be,
A reason to start over new,
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you,
Its something that I must live with everyday,
And all the pain I put you through,
I wish that I could take it all away,
And be the one who catches all you're tears,
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me,
To change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new,
And the reason is you,
And the reason is you,
And the reason is you,
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person,
I never meant to do those things to you,
And so I have to say before I go,
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me,
To change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new,
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show,
A side of me you didn't know,
A reason for all that I do,
And the reason is you

Ship: Draco/ Ginny
Summery: The first in a series of one shots in which Draco writes a letter to Ginny telling her how he feels. Based on the song 'The Reason' by Hoobastank.
Author's Note: I know this is really short. I'm sorry. I'm just not that good at long stories. Besides, this was meant to be a short little letter Draco is writing to Ginny to apologize to her. This is a personal record though! The shorteset story I have ever written!!!
Dear Ginny,
I know that I'm not perfect, and there are many things I've done that I'm not proud of. I keep learning from you though. I never meant to do anything to you. So, though I'm leaving like you told me to, I have to tell you that I've found a reason to change from that cruel person that I used to be. A reason to start over from the beginning, to forget my mother and father, to forget my old lifestyle. Do you know what that reason is? It's you, Ginny.
I didn't mean to hurt you, and it's hard to live with myself knowing that I hurt you so much. I wish I could just take away all the pain I put you through. And when your brothers make you cry I wish I could be there to wipe all your tears away. I just need you to hear me through when I say that I found a reason to change myself.
I'm not perfect, no matter how much I used to think I was. I didn't ever want to hurt you. So, before I leave, I want you to know that I am going to change, even if I don't get to be with you. I've found a reason to show everyone a side of me that only you have seen before.
You're my reason, Ginevra Weasley.
-Draco Malfoy
Draco Malfoy carefully folded up the piece of paper and laid it on the pillow next to his sleeping girlfriend.
He bent down and kissed Ginny on the cheek softly. A tear rolled down his own cheek as he turned to leave, whispering, "I love you."
