Waiting For Tomorrow.

My heart breaks as my fragile hopes unravel like worn thread.
I should be ecstatic, yet I'm simply devastated. Knowing that I've found Severus only to lose him again.

He's barely three feet away, but he's thoroughly lost to me.
He's forgotten about magic. About Hogwarts. About... me.

I turn around, loving him enough to gift him the guilt-free life he deserves.

He looks up. Our eyes connect.
I smile at him lovingly and he blushes, enthralled.
That's when I decide to stay, woo him all over again...
Even though yesterday is gone, tomorrow is still mine to win or lose.

Oh my goodness. I was weeping for Harry until he turned it all around and decided to fight for his man.
I, too, am intrigued by what happened to Severus, although, as the previous reader siad, that's not the point. The point is Harry's determination.
Just beautiful! ♥

Oh, I'm sorry I made you weep for Harry's fate even if his ultimate decision made it all better.

I've got to confess that I have no idea of what happened to Severus, either, since I never plan a back-story for my 100's and his memory loss wasn't the actual point I wanted to explore here. You're right, of course, It was about Harry's decision to hope for a better tomorrow for the both of them.

I'm thrilled that you found this beautiful. Thanks, as always, for your generous review. :)
