My Darling James,
Don't come near me, James Potter. You said it wasn't what it looks like. Wasn't what it LOOKS like? It was exactly what it looked like. If you are afraid to get close, just tell me. We could work through any problems. Betrayal, though, that's not a problem, it's a fact. And something I'm not cool with. I loved you, James. Loved. You were an amazing person, a real savior for me. After my parents died, you were the only one who I trusted. I thought you were someone who would never hurt me. I realize now that, since I opened myself to you, you were the only one who could hurt me. I am going away, and please don't try to follow. I will be happy. I will be happy… James, you were the light of my life. I was happy, ecstatic whenever you smiled at me, and miserable when you were sick, or grouchy, or bummed. Your feelings were the root of my feelings, your actions were the basis for ev move I made. I will bring your mementos by, and then our ties will be broken. James, I will always love you. I will never get over you. But I need to do my best, because it isn't fair. It isn't fair to put my life on hold for you, or to put my friends on hold. As I am writing this, I see our picture from 6th year. We were so happy. We were in love, despite being just 16. The graduation party is happening now. I can see into the ballroom, and you are dancing with Bella. I hope you two are very happy together. James, be kind to her, for me. Tell Sirius and Remus that I love them. James, I'm leaving. I am a witch, full fledged and ready for the world. Please, please James, don't hurt me any more. I love you, but that is not a factor now.

Love forever,
Lily
