Severus Snape has spent years loving Lily Evans. Y/N has spent just as long loving him. They grew up together, shared Hogwarts, secrets, arguments, and countless memories. Y/N has always been the person Severus turns to when he needs someone—just never the person he looks at the way he looks at Lily. She knows his heart belongs to someone else, but that doesn’t make loving him any easier. As friendships begin to change, rivalries grow fiercer, and the future starts pulling them in different directions, Y/N has to wonder how long she can remain beside the boy who will never realize that the person he’s been looking for has been there all along. Because sometimes the hardest love to let go of is the one that was never yours to begin with.
