To Sakura, From Naruto

To Sakura, From Naruto

I can only sit there.

The remainder on my lap.

I know I look like a mummy with all these bandages.

However, I did this for you.

How could I have not helped.

I care about you so much.

I wanted to impress you.

I wanted to make you see 'me'.

I know it was probably impossible.

That was something I pretended to be obvious to.

I can only sit here.

I truly am in pain, but I don't want you to see.

I pretend to smile really bright.

My eyes even sparkle.

Can't you see what I went through for you?

I tried to do it even though I knew it would never be.

I failed.

I returned home a failure.

I tried to apologize.

You didn't really want to listen.

I wanted to cry so hard.

This remainder of what is lost is so harsh.

You say it's alright.

I know it's not alright.

I never show my hurt.

I want to be strong so you can see.

This is me and I cannot be that person.

I don't give up.

I feel like giving up.

I promise you a lifetime promise.

I give everything I am to you.

Why do I do it?

Because I truly do care for you.

It hurts so bad now that I know I could never be what that person is.

I don't give up.

I did this for you, so you could see me.

I wish you could see 'me'.

But, I know as well, that now and forever, even with that promise, I will be nothing in your eyes.

So I put on my smile.

I fight back those tears.

I will do what I promised, because it will make you see me more.

I don't want to do it, it hurts so bad.


~*~ I had to do this because Naruto seems so inclined in trying to get Sakura to like him and it seems pointless. In my yaoi-inclined mind I wish he would say screw it and get Sasuke back for himself. The little blonde goof is just so precious. ~*~
