Holding Hands

A SasuNaru Poem

That day

By the river

I realized a deep sadness

I hope never to know

I held your hand and it reflected your soul

Painful memories

That was all you ever had

It was the only thing you knew

I tightly held onto your hand

Afraid that I would drown in the river

If I was forced to let go

And your eyes

Are so lonely

Even lonelier than mine

But I'll slowly begin to change that

Slowly but surely

One day at a time

With curled fists, shuriken, and shoulders-to-cry-on

I'll show you a true power

A forever

~That only friendship knows~
