Silent Agreement

Where do I begin,

To explain how it came to be with us?

I tried to call a truce,

At the beginning of term,

To get her to understand me,

And quit these childish games.

We had no longer been calling names,

But now,

We were playing games,

And speaking how old friends have talked,

After losing contact for decades

We were sailing smoothly,

Until a glacier came,

And blocked our path

I do not understand,

How rumors travel so fast

And can make simple things

So absurd

The rumor was

That Hermione and I

Had romantic entanglements with one another,

And were secretly striving for each other,

For years and years

Hermione, the ever-stubborn girl,

Accused me of spreading,

This absurdity around the school

Little did she know,

This is how I felt about Hermione,

Ever since we began getting close.

She held a grudge,

And still is today,

And it's me,

Who's having to pay

She will not talk,

She will not look

And she will not come within a radius of me

I feel as though,

There is a silent agreement,

That we have to come to,

A silent agreement,

That I wish would have never had to occur

If it wasn't for the rumor,

I would still have her,

My love,

By my side
