There's a Fine, Fine Line

"There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend." Severus mumbled to himself as Lily mock argued with James about their next mission. "There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend." His head turned to look outside.

"And you never know till you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb." She called his name. His head shot back toward them. He was just part of their conversation. "There's a fine, fine line between love and a waste of time. And there's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie."

His mind drifted back two years.

"There's a fine, fine line between your wonderful and good bye. I guess if someone doesn't love you back, it isn't such a crime, but there's a fine, fine line between love and a waste of time." He remembered thinking.

"And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore! I don't think you even know what your looking for! For my own sanity I've got to close the door and walk away!" She snapped.

He watched the two newlyweds. 'There's a fine, fine line between together and not. There's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.' He thought.

"You've got to go after the things you want while your still in your prime!" He spoke up. James and Lily looked at him. Severus got to his feet and left. 'But there's a fine, fine line between love and a waste of time.'
