Disclaimer: Not mine, J. K. Rowling's…I know, I know…

Sudsy and Stinky

I know you're there

Watching me

But I wonder

Why did you

Have to leave?

You weren't ready

To die…

You'd hold me tight

And whisper

Of everything

You wanted to do,

You'd be an Auror

And follow Harry

To the ends of the earth.

We'd travel around the world…

We'd grow old together,

Ced,

You'd stroke my hair

And I'd run my fingers through yours

I still remember

Our dance

At the Yule Ball,

You held me

And you told me I was beautiful

And the candles made your hair

So bright

And we forgot all our problems

Because your eyes

So grey

Swallowed me up

And we didn't say

Anything,

And the rest of the world disappeared,

And your fingers on my waist

Were so warm…

I can still feel your lips on mine…

Your heartbeat right next to me,

Your fingers wiping away my tears,

Your hair falling into my face,

I don't know

Why

I cry

And sob like this

In the middle of the night

Alone

With the darkness eating at me

I want to stop

But I can't…

I cry because now no one

Wipes away my tears,

Ced.

They don't make me laugh…

And so

In the darkness of the night

With no one watching

I know you're there…

And I tell you

About everything,

You can hear me,

Ced,

I know you can.

You're right here…

So I won't move.

I'll wait for you…

I wouldn't want you

To miss me

When you come back…

They called us the

Perfect Couple:

CHO AND CEDRIC

They even thought about

CHO DIGGORY…

Ced, they never really got it…

They say I've forgotten you,

But I'm waiting…

And I see you

Every night…

You've got bigger things to

Worry about

Than me.

Like coming back.

Oh, Ced,

When you didn't come out…

The world fell apart

And Hufflepuff will never

Look at Gryffindors

The same way

And the Ministry

Will never be trusted…

Every time I see

That Quidditch field

That you haven't walked out of

I can't play…

So I won't play…

Not until you come back,

You'd correct me…

And we'd tease each other

About who won

And who lost

And you'd call me

Your flying beauty,

Your Wonder on Wings,

A Beauty on a Broom…

And I'd call you

Ceddy,

Or Cedders,

Or Sudsy,

to annoy you

And you'd call me

Stinky…

And I'd pretend to yell

Because CHO did NOT

Mean stinky.

It was our inside joke…

And I tell you everything

That I kissed

Harry

And I flirted

With Roger…

You smile at my words

Because you know

They're not like you…

It's not love…

It's too deep

For something like that…

I know you're there

The way Malfoy knows

He'll have to lose,

The way mum knows

God watches her,

The way you know

How to make me laugh…

You put your hand behind my hair,

On my neck,

In the same old place

And my head

Goes on your shoulder,

Right there

In that nook,

You're right there,

Ced,

Always there

In the night

I can see you…

No one knows,

But I do…

You're not dead,

Right?

No,

Because we're going to grow old together.

So I'm going to wait

For you

To come out

Of the Quidditch Field,

Sudsy,

Because you're there…

So I'll

Wait…

I have to live,

Cedric,

Even if it hurts

Because how will you find me

When you come back?

The world

Has turned its head

To other things…

But I won't forget…

I'm waiting Sudsy…
