Why won't you go out with me?

That Lily

is amazingly fiery

is brilliant

is beautiful

is bright

like a candle in the night

She enters the room and all I see

is her

Because

well

I love her

However

(and this is the problem)

My Lily does not love me

well

I'm sure she loves me

deep down

My friends say

She's just playing hard to get

She has a lock

and I have the key

But

What is it?

Why

Why

Why

Won't you go out with me, Lily?

I am

clever

and charming

and handsome

I fly

climbing through the sky

as on wings of finest silk

Okay, no, on a wooden broom

but, it sounds pretty

Girls like pretty, right?

I don't

do dark magic

nor call you nasty names

But you act like I do

I am everything you'd like in a boy

Why

Why

Why

Won't you go out with me?

"Arrogant toe rag"

you yell

Maybe, but

I love you so

I don't understand

I'd do any thing for you

Any thing at all

Any thing you choose

Your hair

so red

a burning coal

Is the fire that lights my very soul

Girls like complements,

right?

But you just turn away "No, Potter"

Just, James

please?

You like Remus

and he's only got clever down

You like Peter

and he's not one of great renown

You even like

Snape

I'd prefer an ape

How can you not like me

when I'm

clever?

and charming?

and handsome?

Could it be that

you don't like me

Because I'm

clever?

And charming?

And handsome?

And know it?

I can't forget that I'm

clever

And charming

And handsome

Sorry?

What now?

I don't know

*sigh*

Wait!

I have an idea

Sirius has a tome

Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches

I'll not go home

till you go out with me

Wish me luck.
