My Dearest Lily,
It is difficult for me to write this letter, as I know that nothing can ever come of it. That thought alone is rather depressing.However, despite that, im going to say it anyway. You see I...damn, where are the words when I want them? I can be a great poet and write some of the best poems that Hogwarts never saw...but when the time comes and I actually need the words, they are gone. My brain turns to mush. You gotta wonder what thats about. Okay, im going to say this before I lose the nerve. Lily, I love you. There, now that its said, I find it easy to believe, and to say. I love you, I love you , I love you! How do I know? I know because everytime I see you, my world goes blurry. I know because with every flip of your hair, or roll of your eyes, a new swarm of flobberworms is born in my stomach. I know because when you walk into a room, all the air disapears, I know because I get dizzy in your company. I know because everytime you come to me, crying about how James broke your heart, I want to stab him, even though hes like a brother to me. I know because everytime I hear you talk about your latest crazy idea about muggles, or of animals you know cant exist, I actually start to believe the ideas. If thats not proof of love then what is? Now I know you are thinking of ways to let me down easily. Well its not needed, I am moving on. I am taking my motor-bike this summer and going on a tour of Asia. However, do not fear, I will be back in time for the wedding. I will hopefully by then, have gotton rid of the desires I know I must leave because of. I wish you and James luck in anything you wish to do, I love you and always will.
your friend,
SIRIUS BLACK
