All I want is you -
You
say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your
story to remain untold
Ginny rolled over and looked at the sleeping form beside her. She traced her finger along the curve of his back, gently, so he would not awake. Asleep was the only time he was not hassled, when asleep he didn't have to hide, to explain to all those waiting for his story. Ginny sighed quietly, impatiently. If only it weren't for them. They made everything so difficult for her and Harry. He told her he wanted to marry her, he told her quite often, yet…
But
all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all
I want is you
Ginny bit her lip. It was enough that they were together now, after all this time.
You
say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just
to look upon it
All the riches in the night
They were together all right. They spent all their time at Sirius' house, living as Sirius' had done before his death. Living in solitude, with no one to see, and no where to go. Harry's promises once the war had ended included many things… A wedding, a house of their own… A life together. Yet he had only delivered on the last one. If you could call it a life.
You
say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a
time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises
we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
He had promised her the world, and all she had wanted was him. That's why she so readily agreed to live in solitude with him, as he had put it, 'just for awhile', until they stopped hounding him, until he stopped reliving all his worse memories. But days passed, weeks, and over a month later, he still had dreams… he still kept to himself, talking not even to her about that moment that had changed everything.
You
say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me
through the night
But he was with her. He was with her, over anyone else.
You
say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain
untold
Your love not to grow cold
Every time she asked, he answered the same. Soon they would leave. Soon they would see their family. Soon, they would live happily ever after. But each day she felt his answers were less vehement. Every day she feared he meant it less. He fallen into a deep pit, and she couldn't help him out of it.
All
the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I
want is you
He awoke finally, and rolled over to look at her. She smiled, not wanting him to see her doubts, her worries. He reached out and pulled her to him, hugging her close. Tears welled up in her eyes, as she realized, that despite all her worries, all she wanted was him… even if he was all she had.
You...all
I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...all I want
is...
You...
