It's the last day of school until our summer vacation. I've tried to tell you because, but I couldn't. Every time you look up at me with those gorgeous brown eyes, I freeze. I just can't move anymore when I'm with you.
I've always loved you, with your all-knowing grin and your lively smile. It's been four years since I met you, and now that I have, it's like I can't live without you. But I've never spoken a word about this to you before. It's you, who is in my every dream, every fantasy I have about the future, about love, about life as I know it. Only then have I ever confessed to you how much I love you. But today will be different; because I will tell you and you'll love me, too.
I help you with your bags and you flash a thankful smile. And time just seems to stop altogether while my heart pounds in chest, my knees weakening under your gaze. As you turn back around I can breathe again. I've always loved how your brunette hair shimmers in the glow of the sun.
We get our luggage onto the train, and you excitingly pick out an empty compartment. You're chatting about how much you will learn this summer. I give a slight smirk, making some sarcastic comment on how you never relax, but my heart isn't in the conversation.
All I can think about is how I am forced to spend another summer without you. But I'm going to come clean about you and me. I'm going to tell you how I loved you, how I love you, and you'll fall in love with me, too. Right? We've always been close friends, and I'd swear on my life you feel the same.
We talk about anything and everything under the sun as the hours pass by, but I still haven't told you. My hands are shaking; the nerves are getting to me. I'm gathering up every ounce of courage I posses to tell you. And I will, and you'll love me. And the world will be perfect.
The train pulls into the station; this is it. Your eyes find mine and I choke up and stare down at the floor. You get up to leave, straightening out your outfit. "Hermione, wait!" I manage to cry. You stop in your tracks, your eyes burning a hole through my very being. This is it. I'm going to tell you, and you'll fall in love with me.
"Have a good summer," I stammer, walking out of the compartment with a sheepish smile. "You too," you say with a smile. You give me a hug, and I never want to let go. You softly whisper in my ear, "Goodbye, Ron." And then you go off, lost in the crowd. I've failed. It'll be another long summer without you. I stand alone in the hallway, empty. I utter the words to no one, too late, "Goodbye, love..."
.end.
