How can I think I'm standing strong?
Yet feel the air beneath my feet.
I come through the Fat Lady's portrait and take off the Invisibility Cloak. It's very late and after a brief visit to Hagrid's, I reckoned that the Common Room's empty.
But it isn't.
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
I feel my mouth twitch as I see her lying on the couch. She's been waiting for me to return...I guess, it's because of the fact that we have to prepare a Project together.
But she's fallen asleep while waiting for me.
I perceive the ghost of a smile on her face is peaceful, she must be dreaming. There's a book on her chest and I watch as it goes up and down with each of her breath.
How can you let me watch you sleep?
Then break my dreams the way you do.
Then my smile vanishes. Like that, poof.
And once again, I can't believe it has happened. Why? I don't know...Maybe it's the way she's always there when I need her. Or might be the way she smiles...or simply the way she is.
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
I fell in love with you, my heart screams to her.
But she can't hear me. Not only because I have no telepathic powers...but also because she's gone deft to almost everyone's love declarations.
This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been.
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen.
Again, why, you'd ask me? Because of loads. She's in love. And he loves her back. They are together now.
Yeah, Ron and Hermione are together.
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known.
But I was never crazy on my own.
I don't really know. I had never seen Ron fall for her. Neither did I see Hermione fall for Ron either.
Then, maybe it was because I was too preoccupied falling for her, myself.
And now I know
That there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness, and being close to you
This is crazy, I fell for my Best Friend and my Best Friend's girl. Who can get into a more complicated situation? I guess no one can.
How can you let me fall apart?
Then break my fall with lovin lies.
I drop my Invisibility Cloak on a table and walk over to the couch where she is lying.
So beautiful, she's so beautiful.
But I'm living a lie. How can I even think for one moment that she'll ever love me back?
It's so easy to break a heart,
It's so easy to close your eyes. My heart is breaking. I wish I could wish that it'd mend. That she'd mend it.
But not at the price of breaking Ron's heart.
I wish I could wish, but I can't.
How can you treat me like a child?
Yet like a child I yearn for you.
I reach out and brush away a strand of hair that has been falling on her face. She stirs. And I ache to hold her.
You know this feeling of powerlessness? That's what I'm feeling at the moment.
The one that I want is right in front of me, sleeping...and yet, I can't even reach out to hold her.
It's driving me crazy.
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
I silently conjure a blanket and put it on her. She snuggles into it and smiles. That faraway smile that looks so beautiful on her.
I bend down and place a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Then I get up and make my way to my room.
Before going in, I hear her talk in her sleep...'Don't go, I love you,' she says with a slight frown.
My heart aches. Ron...She must be dreaming about Ron.
I'm gonna go crazy.
The door closes behind me.
Being close to craziness, and being close to you
And being close to you
And being close to you
But the thing is, as he walked into his room and as the door silently closed behind him, he didn't hear her whisper 'Harry'...
