A/n: I wrote this ages ago, before Book Six came out, in a moment between my homework, and I found it again today, so I thought I'd post it. It's not very good, but I thought I'd put it up anyway. I was listening to this song at the time; so here it is, my first song-fic, from Ron's POV.
Why Don't You Kiss Her
We're the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everything that is on my mind
But lately something's changed
I don't know what's going on, and I don't know what to do about it. It's always been the three of us, Hermione, Harry and me…but Harry's been pretty…well, he hasn't been spending much time with us. So I've got to know Hermione a bit better now…she was irritating at first…all she wanted to do was to spend time in the library, researching books…but then we got talking…and something was different. I noticed the way her hair shone in the sunlight, the way her eyes sparkled when she became excited about something…the way she spoke, forming her words perfectly…the way she moved her hands about when she couldn't explain something that didn't even need explaining in the first place.
I don't know what to do…something's changed, and I don't know what to do…
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head
Softly says
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
I was thinking last night, in bed…Harry hadn't come up yet, so I had time to myself. What if I was to tell her…tell Hermione how I feel about her…but I can't seem to find the right words. I thought that maybe I should just…kiss her…but if I do, and she doesn't feel the same…that's why I can't…she's always solved my problems before, but now I'm on my own, and I don't have a clue what to do…
'Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
If I was to tell her…maybe she would kiss me back…she has no idea how I feel and maybe she does feel the same way. I need to tell her, it's driving me crazy, and I don't know how to cope. I can't tell Harry, he'd just laugh at me…and I think he likes her too…perhaps…I have no idea. She seems to always want to help him…and she never argues with him – what if she likes him better?
Oh I'm so afraid to make that first move
Just a touch and we
Could cross the line
…And if she does like him, then it could ruin everything. Maybe I should just leave it how it is…I could spoil everything, as usual. And then she'd hate me, and I'd hate that. But I can't go on like this…
And everytime she's near
I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
I need her…so much…I need her to tell me that it's all alright, I need her to understand without me telling her anything…but I'm out of her league…I can't reach her…
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
I can't do it…I can't not tell her…but I can't tell her either. I always knew I'd be useless at this sort of thing. I can't make up my mind, and there's nobody I can ask…
What would she say
I wonder would she just turn away
Or would she promise me
That she's here to stay
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
We had another argument today, but I was only arguing to be near her, to stay with her. Harry walked off again, and I needed to spend that time with her. I hate waiting…but I can't tell her, I simply…my brain's telling me to, my thoughts, my instincts…but I can't…and I hate myself for it.
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
Why don't you kiss her
Tell her you love her
Why don't you tell her
Tell her you need her
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside...
I can't do it.
