When Doves Cry

He sensed her before he saw her. He had always been able to do that. When he looked up and saw her smiling at him, his heart leapt. They had been seeing each other for how long, and she still had that effect on him. The moonlight reflected off her glossy hair and pale skin, making her look like some sort of unearthly being. God, she was beautiful.

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?

He stood up as she drew near. Unable to contain himself, he immediately pulled her towards him, wrapping his arms around her. When their lips met, all his cares suddenly vanished. She felt so right in his arms. He gently caressed her back, moving one hand up to stroke her hair. She circled her arms around his neck, drawing him closer, deeper into the kiss. He sat back down on the bench, pulling her into his lap. He kissed her behind her ear, knowing it always made her squirm with delight. Not tonight though. She sighed and looked down at her hands. "What is it love?" he inquired.

Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you

"I think..." she began, and then stopped, uncertainty filling her eyes. "Talk to me honey." He looked at her, wondering what she could possibly be so upset about. She moved off his lap and sat next to him, taking his hand. "I don't think I can do this anymore." She saw the hurt in is eyes for a fraction of a second, before it was replaced by an emotion she had seen far too often: anger. "You can't break up with me," he stated. 'I'm Draco Malfoy, no one breaks up with me!' he thought to himself. Seeing the fear in her eyes, he struggled to gain control of his emotions.

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)

"I'm sorry Draco... We're just so different. You... you're going to make something of yourself someday. I don't know if it's going to be good. But I don't want to hold you back. I see your father in you, and it scares me."

Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold

"I'm just not good enough for you. That's it, isn't it. You always want the best. Nothing's ever good enough for Hermione Mudblood Granger. But what you don't realize is you have the best. Well, you'll be sorry won't you... Don't expect me to forgive you when you come crawling back." He spat the words out, his eyes ablaze with anger. She moved away a little, knowing how bad his moods could get.

Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

"This is what I'm talking about Draco. The fights. You're so... angry. One minute I feel like you're the best boyfriend in the world, then with one wrong word, everything changes. I need someone more solid."

Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

She stood up, kissed him on the cheek, and walked away. As he watched her retreating figure, he felt the anger fade. He wanted to call out, bring her back, promise to change... But he didn't. She meant everything and more to him, but he had his Malfoy pride to think about. Maybe she was right. He did have his father in him.

Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride

He stood and made his way back to the castle. His mind was reeling. He, Draco Malfoy, had just been dumped. By a mudblood. He couldn't believe it. The events of the night replayed in his mind. The nerve of that girl! "She'll be sorry... Oh yes, she'll regret the day she let me get away..." he muttered to himself as he strode down the hallways towards the Slytherin dungeons.

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
