She says she'll wait forever but maybe, just maybe, she's waited long enough.

He knows they could've had a happily ever after if he hadn't thrown it all away when he refused to acknowledge her love for him.

She lies to the world when she says she's over him.

He dreams of her every night and tries his best to forget her in the morning.

She acts like it doesn't tear her apart when he continuously asks out girls that aren't her.

He thinks she must have given up on him even though she hasn't so he doesn't bother telling her that he loves her too.

She pretends she doesn't care at all when he finally comes back.

He remembers how she used to love him and wishes she still did.

She regrets ever loving him at all as she cries herself to sleep.

He hides behind smiles and dates with nameless girls so no one knows how much he curses himself for not realizing that she was always there in front of him.

She forgets why she ever loved him at all even though she knows she'll never stop.

He hates himself for leaving her, for losing her, for not realizing how she meant to him until it was far too late.

She says, He knows. She lies, He dreams. She acts, He thinks. She pretends, He remembers. She regrets, He hides. She forgets, He hates.

And all four of them are broken and always will be because

Hinata waits for Naruto but is too embarrassed to pour her heart out to him again.

Naruto loves Hinata but will never tell her because he believes that she must have given up on him after all this time.

Sakura never stops loving Sasuke but acts like she has because she feels like she shouldn't still care.

Sasuke finally realizes he's fallen for Sakura but will never make a move because he's sure he doesn't deserve her.

As Hinata says, Naruto knows and Sakura lies while Sasuke dreams.

While Hinata acts, Naruto thinks, Sakura pretends and Sasuke remembers.

When Hinata regrets, Naruto hides and when Sakura forgets, Sasuke hates.

They're shattered and they always will be because while hearts can break, circles never end.
