I watch her for these many years,
Her hair ablaze,
Her eyes so wise,
Her soul aglow with vibrance.
I watch him watching me,
His hair untamed,
His eyes intense,
His soul becoming much more.
I cannot stay away,
I want her,
I need her,
We have to be more.
I cannot ignore him,
I hate him,
I love him,
There has to be more.
She sees me so differently,
I think I love her,
I know I love her,
Will she give me a chance?
He seems so different to me,
I think I like him,
I think I love him,
Shall I give him a chance?
Lily, will you be my love?
I want to be yours,
I need to be yours,
Lily, will you marry me?
James, I do love you,
I want to be yours,
I need to be yours,
Yes, James, I will marry you.
Tidings of joy meet me this day,
I can’t describe,
I can’t explain,
My heart bursts with anticipation.
Tidings of joy I share this day,
I can’t convey,
I can’t articulate,
My heart bursts with expectation.
The day is here, it’s finally here,
I am a lover,
I am a father,
Everything will change now.
The day is here, it’s finally here,
I am a lover,
I am a mother,
Everything has changed now.
Lily, as you hold our son,
My heart skips,
My breath catches,
My beloved and Harry.
James, as you hold our son,
My heart skips,
My breath catches,
My beloved and Harry.
Our happiness, it cannot last,
Danger looms,
Danger stalks,
We must hide our son.
Our happiness, it does not last,
Danger swells,
Danger waits,
We must save our son.
It’s Hallowe’en, a normal night,
All is quiet,
All is still,
Surely, You-Know-Who won’t come.
It’s Hallowe’en, a cursed night,
All is silent,
All is eerie,
Hopefully, You-Know-Who won’t come.
The door bursts open, and there he stands,
We are defenseless,
I am wandless,
“Lily, take Harry and go!”
James stands in defiance, but,
We are defenseless,
I am wandless,
I take Harry and go.
This is the end, for me—I know,
I stand up tall,
I stand up proud,
A flash of green brings the darkness.
He tells me to stand aside—I won’t,
I plead for my son,
I love my son,
A flash of green brings the darkness.
Where is this place? I wonder,
But am I dead?
Surely, I’m dead,
Is eternity always so alone?
The darkness abated, I notice,
But am I dead?
I have to be dead,
Is eternity always so still?
And that’s when I see her appear,
Lily, my love,
Forever, my love,
We have ‘til time ends to be.
And that’s when at last I find him,
James, my love,
Forever, my love,
We have ‘til time ends to be.
We watch as our son is rescued,
He is alive,
He will survive,
To fulfill his destiny of greatness.
But our time is spent,
We are together,
Never parted,
Two souls on a path to infinity.
