***A/N: Here is the promised epilogue! And sorry if it took terribly long…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ginny stared at the flowers set before her bed. She really didn't have to look at the card to know whom it was from.

Harry can be such a hopeless romantic sometimes.

She took the card anyway and in it read simple words:

Meet me at the lake. I love you.

Harry

She smiled to herself. She hadn't been doing that lately. Smiling. It was such a great feeling, now that she was capable of doing it again. For the first time it what seemed like eternity, she felt real happiness.

And she couldn't seem to find it in anyone else but Harry Potter.

Gently tracing her finger on her necklace, she smiled once again, wider this time, more truthful to the overflowing joy that she felt. Then she stood up and prepared for the day. The day that would once again be filled with the love she thought she had lost.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There he was. Again. Nothing different. Hands in pockets. Back face towards her. What could he have wanted to see her for?

"What's this about Harry?" she whispered to herself before approaching the man.

Behind him, she was about to start, but Harry said "Hey", even before she knew that he noticed she was there. He still didn't turn to face her.

"Hey" she answered, looking in the direction he was.

"Thank you" Harry said softly.

Ginny snapped her head towards Harry, who's green eyes were now on her.

"For what?" she asked in surprise

"For everything. For being there, for being here." He said, now turning his body completely towards her. "For forgiving me, for understanding me, and for accepting me. Thank you for being who you are. For keeping me, for caring for me. Thank you for completing my world. For loving me… For everything." Harry finished.

He really is a hopeless romantic. But put that aside and those are the most wonderful words that she has ever heard.

She wrapped her arms around his neck affectionately, bringing their faces together.

"No. Thank you. " she whispered, before the kiss she had been longing for made the moment even more perfect.

So maybe the future isn't certain for us. Maybe there are even more obstacles to overcome, more problems to solve. Maybe the world still has so much more in store for us, to strengthen our young souls. Maybe time will reward us with much more wonderful moments, or grieving ones.

Maybe more awaits us, down the path called life.

But no matter how many 'maybes' of 'what-ifs' that the world throws at us, I am certain of one thing. As sure as the seasons will change, and the lifetimes were made to last, I am yours. And right now we have each other.

Then maybe… the future wouldn't bring such fear, for I have you to look forward to it with. Maybe the obstacles won't be so hard to overcome, and the problems not too difficult to solve, for I have you to find the answers with. Maybe time would always be pleasant, for I have you to spend it with.

Maybe… life would be a great journey.

For I have you. And you have me.
