A/N: First fanfic Poem! ~Enjoy!~

A sarcastic comment that cuts me like a knife.

An accidental touch that streaks ice and fire.

A look exchanged, a quick, fleeting glance.

The feeling in words?

Torrid.

Illicit.

Forbidden.

Wonderful…

Devil may care, I throw caution to the winds.

A foolish kiss from a foolish young woman to a forbidden desire.

I still as you stand, shocked.

The most extraordinary look passes in your eyes,

Replaced by something unfamiliar.

I turn to walk away and you stop me.

A whispered question,

The simplest of spells.

My name from your lips.

Hermione?…

No words to express the way I feel.

And then, there you are, hands on my face,

A caress of intimacy.

A tentative brush of lips.

No explosion, no fireworks, no… spark.

Naught but a simple pulse, a throbbing rhythm.

Inside my head.

Your heart….

Severus…

Is this lust?

Or something more?

Is this love?

I ask aloud.

Forehead to forehead, warm breath.

My hands on coarse wool, I let touch take over.

Slick black locks in my fingers.

Not greasy, just… naturally oily.

Soft lips. Cool skin.

Racing pulse.

I've loved you for… Forever.

I open my eyes at your sighed declaration.

I've loved you Forever and a Day…
