Title: Rhapsody Resumed--Do You Still, After All These Years...?
Author: SchizoAuthoress
Rating: PG (because the rest is)
Warnings: slashy goodness
A/N: For Semjaza and Trinity, my like-minded Lucius/Severus 'shippers. You both are great.
I also want to remind readers that letter two (Unsung Rhapsody) was *never* sent back to
Lucius, so this one is the one that Severus finally gets the courage to send. This is some
time during the first book.
Dear Lucius,
I must suppose that you have moved on with your life by now, but your son's presence at
Hogwarts has compelled me to write to you again, even if it is for the last time. I want you to
know that I never forgot you, nor have I ever stopped loving you, angel. But if I am to keep on
living without you, I must lock this love away in my heart and never speak of it again. Do you
understand? Without you and still remembering our love, I'll go crazy. And I already have
such a precarious grip on sanity as it is.
Do not think of yourself as a monster, Lucius, because I certainly don't. I miss you with every
fiber of my body and soul. My eyes always search for you. My ears strain to hear the music
you used to play. My body aches for your touch. I dream of you, and I wake up so horribly
alone.
I promised myself that I wouldn't cry when I wrote this. You're the only one who can make me
do so anymore...sometimes, thinking of you some nights, I cry and I can't stop until there are no
more tears left in me. You used to make me so very happy, and being away from you makes
me so unbelievably sad...
Our relationship has always been a tempest, has it not? I remember how I couldn't believe
that you could love me...and I still can't. Part of me wants to beg you to come back, but I
cannot be so selfish as that. But I need you, I need you...just as much as I always have.
There's still a piece of me that doesn't want you to leave me, even if you're already gone.
Yours Forever,
Severus
