Your Letter I heard this song again the other day and it inspired me to write a short ficlet/songfic about it....

Your Letter

"I found a letter yesterday. It was sitting near my desk with no adressee. I thought I should just throw it away, but gave in to my curiosity and read it. It was your handwriting and suddenlly my heart lept. It must have been for me.
As I began to read, what was contained within those lines almost stopped my heart. I ran to my room and locked the door so I wouldnt be disturbed and I read on.
It said you loved me but you didnt know the words to say, and you never knew that you could ever feel this way and that you only wished someday that I would feel the same.
I never thought that you could feel the way I did about you. How you could keep such a secret from my heart I couldnt understand. You went on and on about your love for me. I couldnt believe you felt that way about me. And then I read a name that wasnt mine. And my heart died. I cried, truly I did. I folded the letter up and the next time I saw him I gave it to him saying I thought it was his. And I turned and walked away hating him. You loved him but you didnt know the words to say, and you never knew that you could ever feel this way and that you only wished someday that he would feel the same. Not me.
My world is broken and now I can no longer look at you. Why Lily? Why not me?"

"Im sorry Severus......I didnt know..."
"Of course you didnt. How could you when you were in love with James right? Forget it Lily...."

He got up and walked away leaving a crying Lily.
"A while back that letter would have been for you Severus....but I didnt know......."she whispered into the wind.
