Yahrzeit
On the anniversary of my father's death, Sirius took me down to the cemetery. I was surprised when he read the Mourner's Kaddish prayer and lit the Yahrzeit candle. He knew my father was very Jewish, and he knew that I would love this little ceremony. He was right. I didn't even know Sirius knew about these sorts of things. So what if the Yahrzeit candle is traditionally lit the night before? He tried! And he did if all for me.
"I love you Sirius" I told him.
"I love you too" he replied.
"Thank you for all of this. You didn't have to" I told him.
"I know. I wanted to"
Yesterday
"I can't stop thinking about yesterday. Yesterday, you were just my friend, yesterday, I thought there was no hope of us, yesterday, I thought you would kill me if you found out. I thought we could never be together, I thought that you wouldn't want to hide it if you ever did accept it…. And then you changed all those beliefs… just by kissing me. You have more power over me than you did yesterday and it scares me." I told him this in a whisper as we were just waking up.
"Don't think about yesterday." He said, pressing his lips to mine. "Only think about tomorrow."
