All those nights she shared with him as they tangled within her bedsheets. She can still feel the ghost of his fingertips across her skin as he held her close, their bodies moving in sync with their breathing. He had told her he loved her. He had said he never wanted to see her unhappy, never wanted to be the cause for her tears, but where was he now?
She remembers the night they ended it all. The world would not be able to accept the Malfoy heir marrying a mudblood, no matter how much her status had elevated above his. He let his fear get in the way of his happiness and he had thought it better to end it before they got any further.
She should have tried harder to keep him with her, to convince him she would have taken whatever the world had to say because she needed him as much as he needed her. But instead, she let him go, she made it easy for him to just forget her.
She can't help that even after all this time, she still thinks of him and what they had. She wakes up and and tries to go about her day, but every little thing reminds her of him: placing two pieces bread in the toaster instead of just one, drinking orange juice instead of pumpkin juice, insisting it was healthier with pulp than without. He had changed her life more than she realized until he had left.
And though she wishes different, she knows he's not thinking about her the same way. He's just fine with his wife and new child. He has moved on and left her behind. She should have known he would bring her heartache. Almost lovers always do.
