Author's Note: The way that Narcissa feels about Lucius.
I never expected
That you would ever come
To actually care for me
Just as I came
To care for you.
I never would have thought
That such feelings of love
Lived in more than just fairy tales.
I never expected
That anyone would ever
Be able to understand me
And see me as a real person
With real feelings.
You saw my soul,
And you never took advantage
Of any of its weaknesses.
Likewise, you came to trust me enough
To allow me entrance
Into your soul as well.
I never expected
That there would ever be someone
Who I could be honest with.
With you I never have to lie.
With you I can give you the truth
And never worry
About you thinking less of me.
I never expected
That someone would ever
Care so much about protecting me.
It warms my otherwise cold heart
To know that I am
The most precious thing to you
And that you will gladly sacrifice yourself
In order to keep me safe from danger.
I never expected
That there would ever be someone
Who would view me an equal
And not because of my beauty
But because of my brain and mind.
My opinions and thoughts
Are dear to you
And never mocked.
Together we make
A team both cunning and dangerous.
I never expected
To have someone
Who is truly my better side
And the side
That I will forever need.
I never expected
To have someone
Who I would want
To spend the rest of life with.
I do not want to even imagine
A life without you.
Such a thought is beyond unbearable.
