=====================

I can feel that there is somebody else in your heart.

Yes, I am right here with you, sitting by your side enjoying some hearty laughs with our friends, holding your hand. However, there is no point denying that someone else is in your thoughts; I can feel it in your actions.

It looked like you had completely forgotten about me.

Here we are locked in each others arms, yet I can no longer feel any warmth. Even in your kisses, the passion seemed to have died.

Why can’t we admit to ourselves that we were through?

You looked at me and I was startled from my musings, “What’s wrong?” you asked.

“Nothing,” I replied. “Let’s get out of here,” I pleaded and you agreed, though I saw the disappointment in your eyes. Oh, that’s because we are going to leave her with our other friends here at Three Broomsticks.

We wondered around Hogsmeade, while I am still holding your hand, but why is it that I can still feel the winter chills? Funny to think that not very long ago, just to feel a tip of your fingers over my hands, and I could feel all warmed up inside. Oh, Merlin knows how much I missed that burning feeling inside! You were looking from side to side, probably hoping to bump into her again.

I sniggered to myself, well, I’ll have to let go of you soon. It will hurt, alright, no point denying that. But to see you and her finally together, which I knew would make you truly happy, could probably ease the pain away.

Maybe I can still have you in my thoughts… hug you tight… and you’ll forever be mine… even if only in my thoughts.

“Hermione!” you called her name at the top of your lungs, after seeing the small of her back. They were on their way back to Hogwarts.

You let go of my hand and ran after her.

“Harry!” she called back at you, beaming and looking so flushed.

You approached her with that silly grin on your face. You told her something and her face even brightened. She’ll do anything – everything for you, no one can ever oppose that fact.

You had completely forgotten that you have left me.

“Ginny!” someone called my name. Oh, yes it was you, alright.

I thought I had completely vanished. You motioned for me to follow. “We better go back to the Common Room to study, you’ve got OWLS coming you know!” you shouted to me. No shite! You were even starting to sound like her.

Every step you took, I can feel our distance swelling, and I’m pretty sure that you’ll never be coming back to me.

She’ll have you some day, but my love for you will be forever here… within me.

I promised myself that you’ll be with her soon, because you two have a connection, something that we could never ever have.
