And if I cry will the cold make my tears into crystals...diamonds? Diamonds are forever, according to some smart ass song writer out there. And so they are. But apparently -he- isn't. He's left me again. He's taken my heart and tied it to piece of string and used it like a bloody yoyo. He's stabbed it about a hundred times with a basilisk fang. He's a bastard who doesn't deserve any sympathy. Why the fuck should I care any more? As I sit here I realise something. I AM winter itself.
Cold, unfeeling, harsh and with no will to live.
And yet...and yet I would melt under his hand. I always have. He makes me -feel- real. And that's what makes it hurt so much. Knowing nothing will ever be real without him ever again. Why does goodbye feel like forever??

Harry wiped his tears away with his hand and drew in a deep breath. He lifted a corner of Draco's cloak to his face and breathed in his scent deeply. The smell that he would come to dream about and wake up to at night after night in the years to come, yearning for Draco to be the one laying next to him.
***
He may be a bastard, and he may have left me, but I know something else.
I love him.
And isn't that all that matters?
Love will endure all. No storms nor obstacles will obscure it or alter it. And Draco Malfoy, wherever you are, know this. You may never be with me and I will never have you as my own, but you will be the one I'll love forever, and my soul will stay with you day and night, haunting you with the memory of the love forever doomed. The love that engulfed and consumed us like wildfire, and now burns within me.

As Harry located his clothes, sitting neatly in a pile, he noticed something else.
On top of his folded coat, sat a lily, pure white petals with a soft green stem. And beside the lily, a letter. As he read, a tear fell from Harry's eye and splashed on to the page.
***
Love,
Do not look for me. I will be the shadow that is not there, and it is not your place to find me. And besides, you won't be able to. As you read these words I will fade into nothing but a myth...a whispered rumour. Draco Malfoy will become no more than a person that exists in only your dreams.
Hold these three words forever in your heart and the thought of us with them:
I love you.
Forever and beyond, I will love you. Every breath I breathe and every tear that falls will be for you. Even now, what I'm doing is for you. All for you. One day, my lion, my brave one...my never-fading lilly...one day, we'll be together again, and all this will be ours and our kingdom.
Yours for eternity,
Draco Malfoy.

As Harry did up the last button of his white shirt, he heard footsteps approaching.
"Harry?"
