Go on and close the curtains
'Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me and a bottle of wine
And hold you tonight
There are these times... times when all is perfect and all I need to do is to lay right here. Beside you. Nights like these, I can stay awake until the dawn, staring into your emerald eyes, stroking your alabaster skin, and memorizing the dance of the light in your eyes. Nights like these are what I live for, don't you see? I can't imagine life without it.
But you're going away. When the cloak of darkness leaves me, so will you.
Well, we know I'm going away
And how I wish, I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
Let's delay our misery...
Sometimes I want to ask you why it must be like this? Stolen moments, no words spoken, only your gentle touch on me. Your eyes speak volumes, but I ache for you to open that pretty peach mouth and say anything. Scold me, hate me, deny me - just say something, anything.
But I know why - when the words flow, this becomes reality. Our existence together isn't meant for daylight. Instead it must stay at what it is, a half - lidded dream. A momentary impulse on the wings of Night, leaving us both wondering at exactly how real it is.
Take these kisses from me, just this one night.
Save tonight
Fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight
Fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Saline. I taste it, tasting you through your tears. Why are you crying? I cannot ask, I cannot voice it aloud. A gentle embrace, comforting kisses trailed down your sculpted shoulder. This is all I can offer you.
How the firelight dances over you, over your tousled dark hair, making it gleam positively ebony. Over your long lithe body, softly muscled and blue - veined under translucent skin. Incubus, you bring me to near worship you.
Feel me worship you, feel my tongue slither over your porcelain skin, across your taut chest, into your navel. This is all for you. Only you.
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire..
To take me away
What do you remember? Everything perhaps? My growing desire for you? The hunger in my eyes for you? Do you remember the first time we kissed? That pressing violent kiss, violet and scarlet clouds exploding in my eyes, tongues battling for dominance. Do you remember the first time we spent a night like this very one together? Do you remember when you left?
Did you glance back and see the tears in my eyes?
Why do you always leave in the morning? What are you running from? I don't know... I'm not sure of anything anymore.
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darling please don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
I'm silent because I love you, you know. If I tried to speak, I would scream it out loud to you. Over and over, until I'd thrashed my larynx to a bloody pulp. You don't need to know. You wouldn't keep coming then, would you? You like it that way, no strings attached. Only sex. I can do that for you. Only you. I've loved you forever.
Violet. Dawn's approaching. You haven't noticed, too involved in staring at the fire. You haven't fucked me yet, I don't know why. I can't explain you, you're too esoteric for me to attempt to.
Come the dawn, you're going to leave. And I'll lay here and cry. Why do I let you do this to me?
Oh yes, because I love you.
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go, oh
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
"Harry..." I know my voice is trembling. You flinch at the sound. "Dawn's coming..." I trail off. You only look at me. You've never looked at me like that. It's almost kind. Kindness... funny, I'd never really seen you without that carnal hunger in your eyes.
"I know." Your tenor is soft, hollow. "I don't want to leave."
My eyebrows raise, you place a soft hand over mine.
"Severus..." Your eyes fill with those crystalline tears again. Shit, did I cause that? "... I love you."
A smile creases my lips for the first time tonight.
"I love you too."
