Poem from Remus' POV about Tonks and how he loves her.

A Million Times

A million times she’s said it,

I’ve counted it through the years.

A million times she’s screamed it,

Half of which were in my ear.

‘Too old, too dangerous, too poor,’

I’ve whispered, staring at the floor.

‘I don’t care,’ she always said.

‘I want you; no one else, nothing more.’

I just don’t want to hurt her,

Because it is truly her I love.

I couldn’t live if I lost her,

She’s my angel from above.

‘This is getting really ridiculous.’

I think as I look at her now.

I feel I’m really hurting her,

Her hair not vibrant pink, but brown.

She won’t smile or laugh her glorious laugh,

Instead she cry’s heart wrenching tears.

I’m hurting both her and myself,

I’m doing what I feared.

Finally I cave in to my feelings,

I grab her and simply say:

‘I love you, Nymphadora’

And I kissed her passionately.

When we broke apart, I had to laugh,

Her hair was back to its pink.

My everlasting love for her filled the cup,

In fact it went over the brink.
