1 Cannot touch, cannot hold

Cannot be together

Cannot love, cannot kiss

Cannot have each other

Hermione Granger was watching Draco Malfoy from a distance. She fought the urge to run to him and hug him as tightly as she could as she saw tears fall from his eyes.

2 Must be strong, and we must let go

Cannot say what our hearts must know

She knew that she was the reason why Draco was crying. After all, she was the one who broke up with Draco – for no particular reason.

3 How can I not love you? What do I tell my heart?

When do I not want you here in my arms?

How does one waltz away from all of the memories?

How do I not miss you when you are gone?

"I'm so sorry, Draco," she muttered under her breath. Tears were also falling from her eyes, and she quickly wiped them away.

I don't know how I'm to live without you, she silently told Draco. I don't know what came over me that day I broke up with you.

3.1 Cannot dream, cannot share

Sweet and tender moments

Cannot feel how we feel

Must pretend it's over

Hermione knew in her heart that she still loved Draco. And she still had a little faith that Draco still loved her. But why did things have to happen that way for the both of them?

Because of me, Hermione answered her own question.

3.2 Must be brave and we must go on

Must not say what we've known all along

"You can live without Draco," said a voice inside her head. "You've lived without him, and you still can. Your life will still go on without him, because you have your friends, your school, your studies, your parents. Those are the things that keep you alive, not Draco Malfoy."

3.3 How can I not love you? What do I tell my heart?

When do I not want you here in my arms?

How does one waltz away from all of the memories?

How do I not miss you when you are gone?

I'm so sorry, Draco. She tried to talk to Draco using her mind. I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry I made you cry. And I'm so sorry that I realized only now that I still love you, and that can't live without you.
