A/N: Dedicated to Sucker-for-romance.

I look around the common room

I see you over there

It’s too much for me to take

That you’re not over here

Perhaps it’s your bright red hair

Or maybe your blue eyes

The way you can make me laugh

The way you make me want to smile

Then she comes along

Your eyes follow her

I just don’t understand

Why are you looking at her and not me?

Is she really that different to me?

Does she make you feel

The way I do when I see you

Everyday?

A smile plays across your lips

I watch with bated breath

You watch her closely

Your eyes keen

True, she has straighter hair

Is pretty I’ll admit

But I’m cleverer, and I care

Doesn’t that count a bit?

Too many feelings build up inside

You make me want to scream!

Are you just completely blind?

Can’t you tell how I feel?

She sits beside you and flashes a smile

I want to hit that stupid tart!

She’s stealing you away from me

But were you ever mine?

I turn away, look at my book

But I don’t see the words

All I can think about is how you looked at her

Will you ever see me like that?

Perhaps one day

We shall see, you’ll fall in love with me

And then will come those wanted words,

The ones I long to hear

Why do you make me feel this way?

What is it about you?

What are these feelings urging up?

Why do I love you the way I do?

You and Harry sit opposite me

Talking about Quidditch

She has gone now

Thank god!

I risk a glance you are looking at me

I look away really quickly

Three little words you idiot

Are they that hard to say?

I sit alone; you’ve gone to bed

I watch the dancing flames

I have got something to say

Just one thing to ask you.

Do you love me?

Do you care?

Do I hold a place in your heart?

Do you understand?

What is it about you?

You stupid, stupid prat!

I hate you so much

You make me want to yell

So why are you doing this to me?

Why am I still here?

And so I stand, and stretch, ready to go to bed

Yet that one word is still dancing in my head

Do you really wan to know it?

Do you understand?

If so, then Ron, answer me

Why

Why

WHY?!

Written in ten minutes, on the spur of the moment.  No flames please.

Lotsa luv

Katie
