A/N: Well I have never seen a poem fic, but I am writing one! Hope you like it. I was in a Harry/Hermione mood when I wrote this, so don't flame me for the pairing. Just Review! Oh yeah, did you all hear about the fifth book? It was in the newspaper today, it's being released on June 21. Also, it starts out with Harry lying on his back in a flowerbed on the hottest day of the summer, and later on Dumbledore says "It's time. I'm going to tell you what I should've told you five years ago. Sit down Harry, I'm going to tell you everything." I can't wait!!!!!!!

// Nature's first green is gold //

I have been in love many times, but none has ever been so wonderful as my first love. While the others were wonderful, he was perfect. His green eyes were gold to me. Where all my other affairs were silver, ours was gold.

// Her hardest hue to hold. //

It wasn't easy. We argued with each other, or with Ron. Keeping up a friendship and a relationship simultaneously wasn't easy. But it was worth it. A few fights are hardly a high price to pay for perfection. For that was what we had- perfection.

// Her early leaf's a flower //

I know that people always say that there is no such thing as love at first sight. Some don't believe in true love, either. I had both in him. If my other lovers were buds, Harry was a rose. While my other lovers stars, Harry was the sun. And though my other lovers were pearls, Harry was gold. Our love was gold.

// But only so an hour. //

When I look back now, it seems as if that time was so short. Not even a chapter in the book of my life. Yet, when it was happening, it seemed like forever. I thought is would last forever. But gold isn't indestructible like diamonds. It ended, as all good things do. It ended too quickly.

// Then leaf subsides to leaf //

I wish now that I had said goodbye. I wish I hadn't been so stubborn. But then, that was before I realized what I had. Before I realized that I had gold in Harry. It's funny. . . . people think I'm so smart. Yet I was so foolish. I had everything I ever wanted, and I didn't realize it. I threw it all away, and now I can't take it back.

// So Eden sank to grief //

And now he's gone. I'll never see him again. I could have all the pearls in the ocean, but they wouldn't make gold. I should have realized what I had. But I didn't, and now that he's dead, I'll never have it again.

// So dawn goes down to day //

But then, nothing perfect ever lasts. Youth will surrender to age, eventually, and evil will conquer innocence. Perfection will fall, someday. It has, already, for me. And I suppose I should accept it. Move on. For it was only a prelude to the things to come. I shall have wonderful things, in the future, I'm sure. But no gold. When Harry died, he took my gold with him. Because nothing gold can stay.

// Nothing gold can stay.//

A/N: ahhhh. . . ummmm. . . I have nothing to say except I don't know if I like it, and I have NO idea if you'll like it, so. . . so. . .just review!
