Daydreamed in science; began writing a poem which quickly transformed into a NARRATIVE poem. For those who do not have the damndest clue what it is - it's a poem telling a story. So don't complain about it not rhyming or anything. It's freestyle, baby. Well, uhm it's Freestyle/Narrative. Enjoy.

Oh and, it's based on the Naruto episode where Sasuke turns to leave the village but Sakura stopped him. The rest.. Is a continuation to that episode, or is it something that should've happened? Hmm; you decide.

Told in Sakura's point of view:


The Night of Love's Departure

The night was clear for once.

The silence screamed in my ears.

So many words unspoken,

and with the perfect chance to finally speak -

my words are left unspoken yet again.

A threat,

a tear,

silence.

I suppressed a hysterical sob

and disguised it with

a failed attempt to laugh.

Instead of begging for your stay,

memories choked themselves

through my trembling mouth.

You claim you don't remember.

I go along with your lies;

because you said so.

The burn of your glare

melted my false confidence

until we were draped by

the curtain of silence

for the third time.

You've had enough -

I could tell.

So you make it clear

by turning your cold back..

on Konoha,

on Team Seven,

on your home,

on me.

Another threat,

another tear

followed by many others.

By the time you took your first step

towards the life of a shinobi lost in

his own desire,

all reasoning went down into the depths of insanity.

I pleaded hopelessly

allowing my endless tears to flow.

You thought rejecting me

for the last time would do you good?

Sakura threatening Sasuke?

Surprisingly indeed-

But it's the first time you've ever took my seriously.

Hence,

I thank insanity.

You were behind me in an instant-

I was afraid to breathe your air.

Not another word was heard,

for we didn't need any.

I turned around and

faced my first love.

Those cold, blank, emotionless eyes

I were already used to

stared back at me

for the very first time with

sorrow, pain and even regret.

But,

I spotted the twinkle of

something other than hate.

I think I'm hallucinating.

I probably am.

I know I am.

I wish I wasn't.

I got lost..

Not in my insanity-

not my hallucinations-

not my own senses.

I got lost..

in his love for me.

I felt it

as his warm lips pressed up against mine

and embraced my cold bottom lip.

His hands were on my shoulders,

and I didn't want him to pull away.

So, instead,

he pulled me closer.

His hands cupped my jaw

as if he was afraid

of letting go.

As if

he might lose me.

Our first kiss-

tender, short, magical.

Our second kiss-

rough, long, fantastic.

He kissed me

like I was going to

give up on him.

That's absurd since

I'd never give up on him.

It was impossible

to control my senses

as he kissed me with such hunger.

I was falling

more and more into

the many hells of insanity.

But I don't care.

I wanted more.

I needed more.

I longed for more.

I begged for more-

with my response kisses.

Air supply was the

last thing on my mind.

How could anything be on my mind

when his hunger,

his desire,

his passion,

sent waves of pleasure through my body, soul and mind.

For the first time

in my damned life,

I've finally felt needed

by someone that I needed.

And that need,

was not comradeship.

He needed me as a woman,

as I needed him as a man.

And honestly,

I felt sad for this man.

Through this kiss,

he let me know how much he needs

and craves for me,

yet he let us both know

that his needs and desires

will not and never get fulfilled.

As I realized that,

I felt a frozen tear

splash upon my face.

The thing is:

that tear was not of my own.

And so,

when my eyes shot open

to see a beautiful man with tearfilled eyes,

I received a blow to the side.

Everything went dark.

I called out for his name.

I couldn't find him.

Instead,

he found me.

Right before I was enveloped by this darkness,

I was granted with a soft kiss on my still lips

and a proper farewell,

"Good bye, Sakura."

I wish I could have said bye to my Sasuke.
