You waited and waited

(A stuttering and blushing mess)

For him to notice you

In any way possible, really

To show him you weren't

Just Ron's little sister

He was much too busy

Being noble and brave

And the exact qualities of a

Gryffindor.

You loved his eyes;

green, a pure green,

a green you've never seen before.

Emerald, jade.

And when he finally noticed you

(Your fifth year, took long enough)

You were already too far gone.

Too far gone, with blonde hair

And a pair of grey eyes

Criss-crossed with delicacy

and mysteries and the unknown

(A completely forbidden adventure).

The grey that was like the calm

In the center of the storm.
