Memories of Love [Harry Potter FanFiction]

Lily (Continued)

It took him days to find the courage to open the box, and when he did, his life changed forever.

His letter fell out into his hands. The one that he had wrote more than a lifetime ago. His own words staring back at him, the letters smeared from the tear drops that had fallen on the pages from Lily's own eyes. As he continued, another letter emerged from the box, unfolding itself, he read the words in her own hand...

Snape,

I know that this letter shall never find you, but for myself, I needed to put these words to paper. I am sorry, deeply and soulfully. You were so right. The love that I felt for you was swept away and under the rug after I met James. I can not say what could have been, but I can say that my feelings for you were true and real.

Love, Lily
