Disclaimer – I'm thirteen. I was born in Texas. I'm Indian. Yes – I am quite obviously Jo, aren't I?

A/N – Sooo… I kinda, sorta, maybe, possibly… disappeared off the face of the earth for a bit. And I'm sorry. If you've been following my story Colors Of The Heart, you know what happened to my laptop, but that definitely doesn't excuse my total lack of updates. Forgive me? I'll have two new chapters up for CotH soon! So while you muse over my shameless bribery, please continue reading…

Note: This style of writing was inspired by the works of a author: Aiiimy

title: aren't meant to be

pairing: lily/james

-:-

he asks the same question every day

(over and over again)

he follows you around like a puppy

(but you know none of it is real)

-:-

you want to say yes

but you're afraid that that will be the end of it

because, secretly,

you like the attention

-:-

you love feeling like you're the most beautiful girl in the world

(hell – he treats you like you're the only girl in the world)

and you love it

-:-

your heart aches to say yes

(just once)

but you're afraid

-:-

you don't want to be just another notch on his bedpost

(you want to be special)

-:-

and so you ignore him

ignore him

ignore your feelings

ignore the little pangs of desire that alert you to the fact that another part of your

soul

has just dissolved into

nothingness

you ignore everything because you know…

-:-

james potter and lily evans just aren't meant to be

FIN

So this is the freeverse version. This is my first time experimenting with freeverse, so just in case it turned out as crappy as is looks to me, I'll be posting another "chapter" to this, in my normal style (same words, different look).

Obviously, this is not the end of their story, because, as we all know, they start going out, get married, have a perfect little baby named Harry, then get murdered. That is the end of their story. So… yeah… =)

But, as you guys know by now, most of my writing is done after midnight. 'Nuff said… ;D

However, as you lot have obviously already read up to here, I owe you all a huge "THANK YOU" for reading, (hopefully) reviewing, and, well, just being you…

So… Thanks…
