I wrote this a while ago, originally as a song. But since my melody writing isn't that good I've decided to put it up as a poem from Hermione's point of view during HBP while Ron is dating Lavender. Just imagine the italics is the chorus. Thanks to duj who helped me fix my spacing problem.
Dreams
Have you ever had one of those repeating dreams?
They come back to you, night after night.
After a while they start affecting your waking hours as well.
I have.
I've dreamed dreams so much it hurts,
I've dreamed so much I can't sleep.
You are always there when I sleep
But never when I wake.
I've seen your face,
I've heard your voice,
I've breathed you in
Yet you are always out of reach when I wake.
The world tells me my dreams are worthless
I'll never live on dreams they say
But my life are my dreams
You are my life.
I've seen your face,
I've heard your voice,
I've breathed you in
Yet you are always out of reach when I wake.
If one day my dreams did come true,
What else would be left to dream?
I'd dream you would never leave me,
I'd dream we would grow old together,
I'd dream for this dream to have a happy ending.
When will my dreams become a reality?
When will I hear all those things you almost say?
When will I truly feel your arms around me?
I've seen your face,
I've heard your voice,
I've breathed you in
Yet you are always out of reach when I wake.
Something within me tells me to give up.
And whenever I see you with her
That something almost wins
But something else stirs within,
Reminding me of my dreams
Telling me not to give up.
So for now I'll keep dreaming.
Dreaming that one day you will be mine,
Just lying here dreaming…
