Hermione's Dilemma


Could someone please explain to me how it is I’ve known him
All these years, and how I feel I haven’t even shown him?
How I haven’t told him what I whisper to the mirror?
How I have ignored how my heart beats when he gets nearer?
How could I have kept my feelings safe, under control?
How I’ve loved him ever since he saved me from that troll?
How couldn’t I have slipped—that much—over all these years?
After all the things we’ve been through, all the terrors and the tears.
And still I tremble when we touch and feel like I can’t breathe
And when he gives me a hug good-bye I squeal when he leaves.
Oh, here I go again, off in a daydream I can’t stop,
About him coming on his broomstick to rescue me from Grawp,
About the way his hair moves when he’s walking in the breeze,
How when he smiles at me like that the world seems to freeze.
Oh, Hermione, get a bloody grip—you’re smarter than all this!
Fantasizing about what he would be like to kiss.
It’s a shame the way I act. It’s stupid to the core!
It’s disgusting how I’m low enough to be jealous of Fleur
I can’t keep on like this or else I swear I’ll break in half
But I’m to shy to tell him—will he say no? Or simply laugh?
Every time I see him, my face turns ruby-red
I try to say hello but I choke and cough instead
What will I do? How can I tell? Why haven’t I told yet?
When I’ve loved him ever since that first day when we met.
That’s it. I’m doing it today. Oh, but…No, it will be fine!
Oh dammit, here he comes! I can’t do this! Nevermind.
