Almost Lover (Harry Styles) - Book 1

Chapter 19: Let Her Go

> Song for this Chapter is Let Her Go by Jasmine Thompson. I attached it to this chapter. I'll let you know when to start playing it! :) <

-Harry's POV-

We just wrapped up sound check and the lads and I are anxious to hear Ava's song. It's one she has been working on with Louie. Taking a short poem he wrote and adding to it.

Heading off the stage we all make our way to one of the larger dressing rooms.

Inside we find Lou and Ava in a deep discussion, Ava looking more than slightly annoyed at Lou. When they notice us enter, they quickly slap smiles on their faces and turn to us. I wonder what that could be about. They always get along so well.

Louis drops himself onto one of the couches. "Alright lads, now don't be jealous when you hear the song, not everyone can write a poem as smashing as I can."

We all roll our eyes at Louis being his ever so humble self.

Ava goes and sits down in front of her keyboard looking a bit nervous.

"Okay, so you have all heard Louie's 'smashing' poem." She smiles at Louie who nods his head in agreement. "I basically used that as the chorus and wrote several verses to go with it, along with a melody."

"Sounds ace" Niall encourages her excitedly, "Now let's hear it!"

"Okay, I really hope you all like it. I left the title the same as the poem, Let Her Go."

We all nod before she places her hands down onto the keyboard and begins playing.

(Start Song Now)

Watching her play is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I love to see the passion she has for her music.

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

I glance around the room, happy to see smiles on all the lads faces.

Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you'll understand why

Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

Same old empty feeling in your heart

'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
