But I love you.

You don’t know the meaning of that word.

Severus, I can’t ever let you go.

You know that I can’t ever feel the same about you.

Can’t you just hold me?

I can’t let this fester on any longer.

You were the one who said that you needed me.

I’m sorry for leading you on.

I encouraged it.

You have Radolphus, so there is no need for me.

Just because I’m married that doesn’t mean he has my heart.

I must go.

Please don’t go.

I never loved you, Bellatrix.

You don’t mean that.

I mean it with every fiber of my being.

I gave myself to you, and I won’t take it back.

In this case, you’ll have to.

Please don’t do this, Severus.

I must.

I believe in us.

You shouldn’t.

I’ll divorce him.

That is not enough.

How can you still be in love with a dead woman?

No one can ever compare to her.

Not even me.

Not even you.

With that, Severus Snape left his lover of three years. His loneliness had been eased, but she could never ease the burden of his heart. Lily Evans would forever had a hold of him, and he didn’t want anyone else. Bellatrix Lestrange watched her love walk out of her life, wanting him to just hold her. Her heart from that day callused over, hard as stone.  

A/N: Sorry for it being short, but this is what came to me! I figured it would be neat to not have proper dialogue and dessciption. And in the end, it kind of explains why Bellatrix was the way she was towards Snape. I still love this one shot though! It's simple...but wow. Yes, I dare say it about my own writing! ha!
