Drabble 4: Crimson Rose

What we had was beautiful.

Your smile, so radiant and bright, would always mesmerize me. It was like you were my personal little light that would guide me from the darkness that encased my soul.

Your eyes, an entrancing emerald, would bore into my own gray ones with love instead of hate.

To be honest, it's weird. I'm so used to people looking at me in either falsified love or a deep loathing. Your gaze bares none of that though.

You're kind, almost selflessly so, and I can see the pure intent behind your actions. You're the only person on this Earth that I can honestly say I love.

That's why it hurts, Harry. I've fallen for you so hard that it's crushing me on the inside to know that you're dying. I need you more than you will ever know.

I hate that your normally clear and focused eyes are clouded with pain, and I hate that you writhe, not in pleasure but in pain, in my grasp.

I hate the soundless little gasps you release as you try to fight off the invisible hold death has on you.

It's crushing me and as I watch the light die in your eyes, I swoop in to place a sweet and lingering kiss on your lips.

When I pull back, a lone tear slowly falls from your now dark eyes and your body goes limp in my hold.

Tears run unheeded down my cheeks as I tighten my hold around your body and cry into your shoulder.

With you, a piece of my soul has died, and I stay on this earth a mere shell of what I used to be.

I love you, Harry James Potter. Never, ever forget that.
