What if we were in the same boat
Rolling on a green sea
Listening to the water
No ordered future, no sorted old, wet memories?

I wouldn't be like this if you loved me. Now, it seems that the only thing that crosses my mind is what would have happened if you accepted my friendship that first day. What if you ran into my mother and me rather than the Weasel and his mother? I would have been a better friend than enemy you know. I might have been a better lover than friend. Even if you still had to go on being the freaking boy who lived, I could have loved you. If my family didn't love you, and Dumbledore didn't like me; we still could have made it work.

And what if time was not the issue
And we could just go on for days and days and days,
Never need for, never miss you,
Give you nothing more than a smile on your face?

I first knew we were perfect for one another back in Hogwarts. I saw you and instantly knew that I would spend the rest of my life with you on my mind. I knew you were superior to any of the purebloods that would try to pursue me. Although your mother was a muggle, you looked like you had good breeding. Your black hair shines as do your emerald eyes. Your crooked smile sends a chill down every time I see it. I guess that's why I used to torment you. I would do just about anything to see that smile.

Seems like I've been on this trip so long, little splashes all I see.
Ten more lovers to the wind and once again I'm left with me.
Seems that as my time draws nearer,
I look into that mirror at a face that's had it's fun
And kept moving on...

Empty bottles lie scattered across the floor; Pink liquid oozing from the tops. At least the identical redheaded gits could get this right. I don't know if I could continue without a daily dose of their daydream potions. When I feel the warm fluid hit my stomach, everything seems okay for a little while. I know what it feels like to have you by my side for once. Weasel is to sodding lucky and his bitch of a sister is blessed. What I wouldn't give to have his hand in mine; look at his eyes gazing into mine.

And what if we could stay together
And simply move on day after day after day
Sun and stormy weather
You and I together
Moving on always?

"I need more! It is all I have to live for." How dare those redheaded bastards keep me from my love? They're trying to tear Harry away from me. They can't do this to us. We're in love!

"I'm sorry Draco…" I know they don't mean what they say. Why would they be sorry? They just want me to be miserable. They don't want Harry and me to be happy with one another. I'll show them.

Side by side together
You and I forever
Moving on
Always.

To Whom It May Concern,

Harry and I love each other and if you will not allow me to be with him, I will not be able to go on.

Sincerely, Draco Malfoy
