[lysea-aerys]

you were a total stranger

when you walked into my life

but when i looked into your eyes

i saw your smile

for the first time

full of admiration and curiosity

and so much warmth to share

your golden hues of blue and grey

will always make my day

It was one of these days at Hogwarts where the gloominess kept the day at bay, the weather a complete mirror of a day that should be spent underneath a pile of blankets and a book to relax instead of sitting in the library to finish – yet again – a mind-numbing Herbology essay about the Flutterby Bush that served no real purpose other than to keep students busy. The clouds were cuddled up so close together, not even letting a ray of sunshine through the stained glass windows. The rain kept the whole room wrapped into the soft hues of various burning candles that kept each student accompanied, each candle offering some much needed light as well as a tiny flicker of warmth on this late autumn day. Rain was pouring down like there was no tomorrow. It seemed like that one drop was chasing the other, a never ending chase with no real winner nor loser. It had something comforting, something relaxing.

But a good library study session was never fully a good one without some people watching. The floating candles that covered each students face in a light golden hue, made each detail a little bit more visible for the untrained eye, but you knew more than that. It might seem like that the second year Ravenclaw student, sitting two rows away from the window, was purely concentrating on whatever was in front of her. But the way she absently fumbled with her quill and how she bit her thumb in a repetitive manner showed something else. You know the signs: stress. Something not so uncommon in the endless corridors of Hogwarts, especially if the exams are slowly creeping closer, but sometimes it just becomes overwhelming.

You slowly untangled yourself from your restless writing session, stretching your arms and legs to prevent the soreness – accidentally procrastinating way too long in that curled up observation position – from creeping into your bones. Each movement slow, but deliberate, like a well practiced routine showing that it occurred more often than you would like to admit. You swiftly put your quill and paper, which had more sketches than actual paragraphs, into your bag.

"Hey, little one. I would say it’s time for a break for you, otherwise I think your paper will slowly start to turn into a tiny sea of scribbled ink lines, am I right?", you slowly whispered to not startle her too much.

Her eyes widened, "Ehm, I –. I need to – need to finish this essay for – for next week"

"Don’t stress yourself too much, little one. Sadly, essays and homework will always be there until you finish seventh year, but it’s okay to take breaks. It’s okay to not finish every assignment once it is handed out."

The little girl nodded, and absently started to pack her study materials into her bag, stretching herself just like you had done it a few minutes earlier. She reminded you of yourself when you were younger, always studying and buried beneath books until the night started to fade into the soft hues of an early morning.

"Do you want me to bring you to the common room?" You asked gently, trying to offer her a chance to share her thoughts under the disguise of simple walk. Something you woul have needed when you were here age. A hand to hold during tough times, when studying overshadowed everything else.

"I am –, I can –, I don’ want to cause any inconvenience to you." She kept her eyes glued to the ground, her hands gripping the handles of her bag until you could see how the knuckles turned into a whitish shade. You carefully reached out until your hand was above hers, offering a chance to retract. But she cautiously let go of her bag handle to grip your hand like it was the only thing keeping her afloat during a storm. You smiled to yourself. Keeping her hand close to yours, circling calming little pattern to ease the burden of the constant nerve-wracking storm of thoughts.

"Let’s get you to bed, little one." You looked into her eyes, a gentle smile on your face. You opened the door, never letting go of her little hand, and nodded to Madame Pince to signal your goodbye, which was met with a mirrored nod to acknowledge your leaving. But as you were almost out of the door, someone abruptly knocked into you. Swiftly mowing past you without even looking back to mumble an apology. But sadly, that was nothing new to you.

distance

a ring- a notification

another realisation

august’s laughters fading

into the hush of september’s sigh

once-ripe fields now wear the gold of memory

swaying in the autumn breeze

alone I stand, where warmth once lay

yearning for you, my warming ray

j

[lysea-aerys]

what can i do?

where have i been when you needed me the most?

catching you, holding you close

giving you hope, allowing you to let go

can't stop talking about you

one of the only things giving me hope

that this will be over soon

tucked away and almost 6000 miles away

longing for you

counting the days until i'm with you

it started out so slowly, full of agony

i won't be back home soon

but i'd rather be right next to you

engulfed in your warmth

and you're radiating smile

my home

my sunshine

j

[lysea-aerys]

waiting to see you

waiting to feel you

there is nothing holding me back

from finding you

be it just an inch away

right next to me

or a train ride

taking me far away

you're the one

my one

j

[lysea-aerys]

honey, sometimes i remember

that there was a time

where i did not know you

and it always makes me realize

that over time

you began to feel like home

where we can be

who we are

together

j

[lysea-aerys]

it was that one day

the last day of a beautiful march

and it was also the first day

that my heart got stolen

stolen by a gorgeous boy

with the prettiest smile

i have ever seen

j

[lysea-aerys]

honey, you make me feel so loved

your warm hugs

and your boyish smile

with that lovely sparkle in your eyes

i cannot help myself

i am falling for you, again

j

[lysea-aerys]

golden rays of sunshine

shining through the windows

waking up next to your sleeping soul

engulfed in your arms

seeing your pretty sleepy smile

shining against the sun

hearing your raspy morning voice

whispering small words of love

feeling your soft skin

against my own

i cannot get enough

j

[lysea-aerys]

oh my love

i would love to hold you in my arms

gently and full of warmth

hearing your beating heart

feeling safe

not being apart

j

[lysea-aerys]

the future holds unknown paths

full of possible plans

they may be similar

or way apart

but they all include

you

j

[lysea-aerys]

wherever we go

you feel like home

be at in a room full of strangers

or just us two

i always feel safe around you

j

[lysea-aerys]

oh boy, when can i see you again?

maybe, i fell in love with you

to be honest, that is a lie

because i absolutely fell in love

with you and your heartwarming soul

and now it feels like

if a thousand butterflies

flew to their honeymoon

j

[lysea-aerys]

please always remember

that just a thought about you

makes my day so much brighter

than it was before

thinking about your lovingly soft smile

and your sparkling eyes

how your hands fit so perfectly in mine

all the little things

and your heart so full of love to give

j

[lysea-aerys]

your gentle love

so genuine and pure

comforting and soft

feeling at ease

and feeling so loved

j

[lysea-aerys]

feeling safe in your arms

but living kind of far apart

your twinkling eyes

and your pretty little smiles

are all the little things

that made me realize

how much i love you

my sunshine

j

[lysea-aerys]

hearing your heart

feeling your warmth

enjoying your music

and tapping a part

talking for hours

right next to each other

j
