Inspiration: Almost Lover

He's happy.

It's a wonderful thing to see him with Ginny in their wedding robes, both of them laughing. The day we all knew was coming is finally here.

I'm sad. My feelings surprise me…and shame me some, too.

I love Ron. I do, and Harry loves Ginny. It's been this way since Hogwarts, and he and I have been best friends and quasi-siblings. I suppose part of me, though, always wondered if we would ever be something more.

Now I know.

Ron makes his toast, and I raise my glass to the happy couple with everyone else.

Good-bye, Harry.

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Almost Lover
A Fine Frenzy
