He was there. Sitting at a table in the back corner of the pub. I played anyways.
I got up on stage and sat at the piano. And, thinking about him hearing me, I played the song I wrote for him. My fingers shook as I played the first cord, and I had to take a deep breath to assure that my voice wouldn't crack out of fear and nervousness.
And I sang.
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the windowJust breathe…he hurt youThere were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up foreverAs I played I remembered, and though I didn't want to, I found myself not being able to stop wanting him.
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever madeHe had hurt me, though, I'm sure, I hurt him equally as much. It wasn't meant to be between us. A Malfoy and a Weasley? There was one good reason not to go public right there: The feud. Our families never got along, though neither did we, until that night.
But when you touch me like thisAnd you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to meI don't want to remember the way I felt with him…I don't want him to have been my first love…my first lover…but it was too late to change anything now. And, even if I had the chance, I don't think I would.
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back; it's all coming back to me now)He's watching me. Even with the spotlights blindly my eyes I can see him back there. Drinking whatever it is he ordered, listening, and remembering.
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do againIt's just a memory
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby BabyIt shouldn't have ended the way it did…but then, maybe it shouldn't have started the way it did, either, or maybe…maybe it shouldn't have started period
I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to meI can't do this…my voice is cracking. My eyes are brimming with tears. I'm consumed with want, lust, passion…need
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to meThere it is…need…I need to be with him again…if even just once…to remember how it used to be…
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming backHis hair's gotten longer…but still retains the blonde gleam I always loved about it. I can see him in my mind's eye, though all I really see is a shadow…not a strand out of place, how it always was.
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeperI wanted to be with him…we knew it couldn't be though…he always knew…
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us foreverHe was simply using me…he didn't really want to be with me…it could have been any girl in Hogwarts. Maybe he wanted my brother to find out…
But you were history with the slamming of the doorThe thing was…
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since thenI didn't feel used…everything just felt…right…
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to meHe knows this song is about him…how could he not? Always the clever Slytherin…
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back; it's all coming back to me now)How long has it been? Two or three months?
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do againNo…four or five years…years…it seems ages ago, but at the same time like it was minutes before this second in time…Time is truly a strange thing.
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allowSometimes it was like a dream…we were together and then not…night after night, week after week…but then sometimes it just felt…too real…
Baby, Baby, Baby
There was a reason he didn't moan my name, or touch me in any loving way…he didn't want to love me…he couldn't fall in love with me…that was his law…Don't Love.
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to meMaybe I'll confront him after this…just sit down at his table and talk. See what's been going on in his life…maybe we'll be together again tonight…
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to meMaybe we'll lie in each other's arms and talk until morning…maybe we'll sleep…
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to meI can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me nowOr maybe I'll leave as soon as we've finished…just like he used to.
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to meI want to be with you again, forgive me for being weak…
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
All coming back to meSeeing you again makes me need to be away and stay close to you all at the same time…you always did confuse me, Draco Malfoy.
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me nowThat's it…I've made up my mind…
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we...
I ignored the applause; instead, I left the stage and headed to the back of the pub, to the corner table where I found him.
I pushed through a crowd of strangers, trying to get to him as quickly as possible.
"Malfoy."
I got no response. Empty tables don't speak. A bottle and napkin sat on the table, the bottle still warm to the touch. He left me again…
I fought back the tears that swelled in my eyes, and turning away began to walk away from the past, angry at the injustice of it all…
"Hey."
There he was. Standing right in front of me, looking at me the way he used to when we met in the Room of Requirement.
"Hi." I choked back tears. Standing before him now made me feel as if I were sixteen again. I hated it.
He raised his hand slowly and touched my cheek softly, and the gesture was so powerful it felt as though he were doing it for every time he wanted to touch me, but didn't.
He pulled me closer and kissed me passionately. So passionate and full of hunger, as if he were starving after not being with me for years.
'And if we…'
Neither of us left when we finished.

just a oneshot songfic I decided to do with Celine Dion's 'All Coming Back' because I've had that bloody song stuck in my head forever. Review, I'd like to know what u think.
I never do stories in this format (First person) and probably never will again, so don't really expect it…
