"When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
Liz's POV
I never regretted it. Not even for a moment. I loved him. He was my husband, and I knew he was innocent. But I try to remember before that. I try to think of our school days. We had so many dreams for the future. To many of them died that Halloween. But I smile at my memories. I was blessed to have him, if even for only awhile. He gave me three children. He gave me enough memories to last a lifetime. When I look back, I realize that he was always there for me. At school, even when we weren't together, and I tried to tell myself I hated him, he was always there.
In my dreams I'll always see you soar
above the sky
In my heart there will always be
a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part
of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll
be
I dream of that flying motorcycle of his and all the good times that it brought. Whether we're together or not, there will be a place in my heart that only he has ever reached. I will keep a part of him there, even as I move on, and in a way, I always carry him with me.
Well you showed me how to feel
Feel the sky was in my reach
And I always will remember all the
strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
I had always been a hopeless romantic, yet I hardly ever let someone get close to me. I was too afraid of getting hurt. But he wormed his way in and showed me how to love. He showed me that I was good enough and the proverbial sky was within my grasp. He gave me strength, in his own way, even when he was not there. He believed in me more than I ever did myself. It was his love that made me survive everything after James and Lily died. Without his love, even from far away, I would have died as well. I will forever be in his debt for that. He was always right by my side.
In my dreams I'll always see you soar
above the sky
In my heart there will always be
a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part
of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll
be
I dream of Quidditch matches and messing around on our brooms, even as adults. I can see him up there, the one place that never failed to make him happy. That is the memory of him I always keep in my heart. In the one place that no one will ever be able to reach me. That little piece of him that I carry with me. So wherever I am, he is as well.
'Cause I always saw in you my light,
my strength
And I want to thank you now
For all the ways you were right there
for me
You were right there for me
For always"
He was my light, he was my strength, he was my love. He was my everything. I want to thank him for that, for always being there for me, whether he knew it or not.
I am anxious to see him again. Then I can finally tell my daughter who I am. It is too hard to explain right now, but I had to wait. And after fourteen years, I will finally be with my husband again. With the war that is brewing, I need to see him now, because we may never get another chance. But I must wait until Saturday. Noon in the Shrieking Shack. I can't wait, but I must. But it won't be long. He'll be shocked, I know. So will Emily. But they'll get over it and the three of us will find Josh and Jimmy and we can finally start making up for the last fourteen years of each of us being alone.
