Chapter one: Goodbye

Never did you say a loving word to me, or showed me that you cared. Never did you have a word of praise. For thirteen years I knew you. For seven of those you made my life miserable, but I understood why in a small part. I learned to respect you not because I feared you, but for your intelligence. I worked by your side for 6 years, three during the war, and three when you asked me to join you in your research. If you would have seen how happy I was you would have wondered why. Never did I receive a warm touch, but cruel remarks you spat at me.

Nights I would wonder why I would stay with you and the truth is that I feel in love with a man who I knew would never love me as did him. I kept my feelings for you locked inside. Holding everything back. I would sometimes watch you from the corner of my eye; watch your graceful hands brew potions. So much i would have given to feel them on my skin,to know that you cared just a little bit.

So much I should have said but now it's too late. I watch from a far as you're lowered into the ground. Watch with a pain in my heart that the man I love leaving me forever without saying goodbye. I should have told you how I felt, but now it's just too late. Maybe in another life we will be together. But now I just cry and feel alone with out you anymore. My place is to be next to you. But how canIbewhen you've goneto a better place and left me alone in thisdestructive place.

Now I walk to your grave and read the words in graved in it Severus Ian Snape. I place a rose on the ground and whisper I love you as tears flowdown my face. I wish I could just one moreday with you to tell you how much i truly cared for you, to see the face of the man I fell in love with so many years ago. I don't know how or when nor do i care, but little by little I fell for you.

But for now I will say goodbye, and hope to see you again in another life. You'll always be in my thoughts and dreams. I love you goodbye, my love.

The end...
