Miss Me Baby

When he's holding you know that it's killing me.

Let my memory be the reason that you can't sleep

And every time you feel his touch, I pray to God it's not enough

And that I've touched your heart so deep you can't shake me
Cause I love you,
Yes I need you,
Miss me baby

Seamus sat staring through the open window at the street below his apartment. Lost in thought, he didn't feel the cold air that blew in and cut through his sweater like a knife. He stared, seemingly, transfixed at the street that in reality he didn't see at all. He was lost in memories of better days. He kept repeating the same name over and over again in his head. "Draco," he whispered silently. His heart longed to show him his love again, just as his body ached to feel Draco in his arms once more. He couldn't believe the truth that stood in front of him. Draco was gone. He wasn't coming back.

Seamus let his mind drift back to that first moment when they had found themselves in an empty classroom on a cold night and the warmth they had shared together. He let himself relive every little kiss they shared that night and all that had followed. He ran his fingers over his lips and closed his eyes. He turned away from the window as the cold sank in around him. Tears fell down his face as he walked through his living room looking at the pictures of them together. In one they stood smiling happily on their vacation in Morocco, in another they were kissing on a sandy beach. He wouldn't let himself believe that none of it would happen again. It could not be over. He ran his hand over the pictured face of the one he loved so dearly as he wiped a tear from his eye.

A frown spread across his face as the realization came to him. Somewhere in this house were pictures of Harry, of the three of them together. They had all shared laughter over drinks, but now he wasn't the one laughing. Harry was the one whose arms held Draco tight. He was the one whose lips kissed Draco goodnight. Seamus hated him for it. There was no way, he told himself, that Draco would stay with Harry. He hugged the picture to his chest. "I miss you Dra" He said quietly. He sat down on the floor and leaned his head against the wall as he let out a sob. Silently his chest heaved and his eyes filled with unshed tears.He stood up, wiped the tears from his face once more and walked slowly to his bedroom. Still clinging to the picture in his hand.

Miss me baby,
Until you can't take it no more
Miss me baby
Come back home
I'll be waiting
Right here waiting
Miss me baby.
