Nightingale

As they say goodbye the night before the war, Harry contemplates their time together and their feelings for each other. This song is nightingale, by Saves the Day. The lines from the songs look like this ~text~

~ And I will flail under these lights that seep down from the bitter sky tonight ~

I can hear them coming Drake. I can hear the apparitions around the house as they make their way towards the front door. They’re coming to take me away from you.

~ And I will kick and beat my wrists together ~

I’m scared Drake. Scared of what could happen. Scared of having to leave you. That this could be the last time we have together. And although I swore I wouldn’t cry, the tears are pouring unheeded down my cheeks.

~ And feel an ocean breathing waves, feel them licking at my face.~

I don’t even want to stand up. I’m too scared of falling. This is it, baby. I’m going to have to go. I wish I could stay wrapped in your warm arms forever. Your blonde hair tickles my cheek and I feel I might die. But not with him. With you, here, with you.

~ Ceilings don\'t exist and there are no floors beneath me.~

I wish this night would last forever.

~ If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?~

You know how I feel for you. My whole world revolves around you and yours me. That’s why I’m so scared to leave you. I don’t know what you’d do.

~ And I hope your majesty that you like your position.~

Maybe I will come home. Maybe I am stronger than I believe.

~ I\'ll do everything I can to keep you by my side~

And I can rule this world, our Wizarding world. You can be my king and I your humble servant once again. And everything will be alright. Our love won’t be threatened anymore.

~ And I\'ll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.~

I wish you would wake up. Maybe that banging on the door, as they come for me. Maybe it will wake you. And I can say my last goodbye.

~ Just kiss me before I go.~

I can’t do it Draco. I’m not strong enough to walk off without you.

~ I\'ll have to walk a thousand miles just to find the ground deserving of your feet.~

He’s going to kill me.

~ You could throw me down and walk on me ~

I’m going to die and I want you by my side and you can’t be there.

~ And I\'d just look on through my love and through the haze.~

Please let me keep you. Please don’t let me go. Ah shit I cannot do this.

~ And I hope your majesty that you like your position.~

All these years, these three years our worlds have been entwined. Everyday, I have loved you. Have I told you? Not enough.

~ I\'ll do everything I can to keep you by my side~

I wish I could go back to the very first day of our lives and start again. Relish every touch and every kiss.

~ And I\'ll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.~

I wonder inside if there is anything I could have done to have avoided having to leave you on this morning. Dawn is breaking.

~ Just kiss me before I go.~

You awake, stirring in my arms. I hold you tight, crying my eyes out with the thought that this will be the last time I hold you. I don’t know what I’m going to do.

~ The nightingales are singing now.~

I want to stay with you forever. I promised. Through weakness, through strength. For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health.

~ They\'re calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees.~

And now death will us part.

~ Their jewellery is thrown into the air.~

Not today. Please Draco, one more day with you. To make love to you one more time. Hear once more your lips on mine, you whispering ‘I love you’ and me knowing it without the need for words.

~ They sigh at their release as their shackles hit the ground.~

I’m not ready to go. I don’t’ want to go. They can’t make me.

~ The trumpets call out now.~

I’m too weak for this.

~ We\'re home at last.~

I hear your voice through my thoughts. You whisper that you love me, that you are beside me, with me, inside me in everything I do. You tell me I am your world. You tell me we are forever, no matter what he does today.

~ And I hope your majesty that you like your position.~

You cry into my hair, and I into yours “I love you so much.”

~ I\'ll do everything I can to keep you by my side~

The knock on the door summons me away. I have to leave darling.

~ And I\'ll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.~

One lifetime would never have been enough.

~ Just kiss me before I go.~

You raise your lips to mine in a last goodbye.
