Dear Severus
I watch you glide along the halls
and feel my stomach tightening.
I want to speak, to say your name
but find the thought too frightening.
Will you respond and come to me
or will you walk away?
Without so much as half a glance
or single word to say.
Your silence though would be preferred
to what I dread I'd hear.
To have you sneer and hiss at me,
say you don't want me near.
I'd rather watch you from afar
and dream of different times.
The ecstasy I'd always feel
just knowing you were mine.
To hear your voice-once-say my name
and know that I exist.
To stand one moment at your side,
these thoughts I can't resist.
To know the things that drive you on,
the passions you keep hidden.
Behind those dark, untrusting eyes
are thoughts that seem forbidden.
To walk with you, to touch your hand,
your whisper in my ear.
Your scent, your heat, mingled with mine,
these things I want...and fear.
There's nothing that I wouldn't give
to have you in my life.
To kiss your lips and stroke your hair
and help to ease your strife.
Were you to sit and talk to me
my pounding heart would melt.
Too scared to let you know the truth
of how I really felt.
So here I lie in bed each night
my thoughts drifting below.
To cold, dark dungeons underground
where my beloved goes.
I hope someday you seek to find
a love to set you free.
For this, forever, I will wait
and pray you come to me.
Dear Severus, if you only knew
the love for you I feel.
You might allow me to show you
that faith and trust are real.
And once you realize that you too
can love, complete and whole.
We'll be one for all eternity
in body, mind and soul.
