(fanfic from Harry’s POV)
I like to believe that in all great love stories, it is not necessary for the two people in love to end up together (note: I’m not saying guy and the girl because it’s 2023 and we are finally in a beautiful place to accept love in all forms).
I feel lucky to have loved and lost, to have met someone like that. I feel lucky to have experienced something so beautiful. I have no resentment towards it and never will. I just feel lucky and blessed that I happened to cross path and met that person, ’cause what are the chances? Also, to have experienced whatever I experienced.
I feel so blessed to have good memories that I can look back to. I feel lucky to relate to all those beautiful songs and books that people write and have someone to think about and smile. I feel so lucky to have experienced it and be able to make sense of all those movies that are made about love. Yes, I understand now.
Maybe it’s not about ending up together at all. Maybe it is just about the love and the feeling when you feel it and enjoying it in the moment. Maybe it’s not about thinking about tomorrow or the happily ever after.
’cause when you think about it happily ever after doesn’t really exist even if you end up marrying the person you love. Even if you are lucky to grow old together, it is not “happily ever after” it is a lot of working things out, growing together and compromises. In that case as well, it is being in the present and enjoying the moment as there is really no guarantee about tomorrow. As I always say, I might not wake up tomorrow, I mean who knows really?
After all my mistakes, yes, they are nothing but mistakes and I don’t consider anything else or even label them as exes, just plain old mistakes. I feel lucky that I experienced something real which was bigger than the whole sky.
I keep those memories safe in my heart and I open my heart for new experiences if it ever comes my way. Even if it doesn’t, it’s alright.
Because this queen doesn’t need a king or queen.
I’m really okay by myself. (and I really don’t think I should stress about getting married and find someone just because I’m 32)
