You Must Love Me

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

This is dedicated to all those whose actions almost drove the ones they love away.

Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be

I wish I knew what to do, how to fix this mess I've created. This was not what I wanted; this wasn't the result I was supposed to get. All I had to do was push you away from me; make you see that I'm not worth it, that I'm too dangerous. But I lost control; and shouted and I yelled and all I got from you was a “goodnight”.

We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you

What we had everyone wanted; what we had everyone needed; what everyone wanted is what I already want back.

A trust in each other that helps us through the tough times; a connection that is so rare to find.

Now I threw it all away.

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive,
As we used to do?

All my certainties crush down on me, how will we go through this? How will I go through this without you?

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away

But you must understand, I had to do it. My heart has become a home to many secrets; I wish I could tell you. The prophecy...Voldemort...you...

But I can't. I can't tell you that I'm to die or else become a murderer, I can't tell you that I'm scared of facing Voldemort that I'm scared of what can happen to me; of what can happen to those close to me.

And for all these reasons and many more, I can't tell you that I love you.

I'm too dangerous, I need you to stay away from me, and now my wish is coming true.

I'm too dangerous.

Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?

A night has passed and I wake up to find you looking at me. Why? Wasn't yesterday enough to convince you how dangerous I am? Can't you see I'm still the same person as yesterday? That same person who yelled at you, that same person who shut you out, that same person who's going to die soon?

Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away

The night didn't change anything, I'm still the same, and we're still the same. I'm still keeping secrets from you and you know it, I can see it in your eyes. They want me to tell you what I've been hiding, what I've been feeling.

And I want to tell you but I can't.

I can't risk loosing you permanently, so I prefer to drive you away where I can still observe you. I've tried to push you away from me, I've been trying so hard and yesterday I thought that I had succeeded.

But now you're here.

Why are you here?

How can you stand being at my side no matter what?

And I realize it as I look in your eyes one more time; you must love me.

You must love me.
