Disclaimer: I would say the characters do not belong to me, but I realised that this has no specific characters. But it was written as Harry/Draco. Who, sadly, do not belong to me.
Notes: Um, poetry. Rather sappy, and I'm a little embarrassed. But I hope you like it anyway.

and he looks at me and says
'what do you think love is?
flowers candy and chocolate?
hand-holding and laughter?
happiness and bliss?
and do you think love is
something that is beautiful?'
and he looks and me and says
'love is not laughter
and love is not bliss
love is an old scab
that doesn't go away
no matter how much you rub at it
and love is a poison
that you can't find an antidote for
no matter how hard you look
and love doesn't give life
it only takes it away.'
so I look at him and say
'I know love's not happiness
and I know that love's not bliss--
but maybe I don't want laughter
and maybe I don't want bliss
maybe I don't want happiness
maybe all I want is this.'
