Golden bangs feel in contrast against pale white as he lay curled in the deepening snow around him. Stunning sky blue orbs seemingly lost in an ocean of loneliness and hot tears of sorrow stared up at cruel and unyielding stormy grey clouds. Ice crystals fell in rhythm all around him yet he couldn't feel their frozen bite. Out of the numbness and denial he reached up with one tan slender hand and grasped something invisible. He hovered his clasped fist over his heart and drew a short breath letting out a soft cloud of frosty air.
"I guess this is how it's going to be from now on huh Sasuke-teme?" The blond ninja asked in a heartbroken tone.
"What I thought wasn't mine
In the light
Was one of a kind,
A precious pearl
When I wanted to cry
I couldn't cause I
Wasn't allowed
Gomen nasai for everything
Gomen nasai, I know I let you down
Gomen nasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
What I thought wasn't all
So innocent
Was a delicate doll
Of porcelain
When I wanted to call you Gomen nasai for everything
And ask you for help
I stopped myself
Gomen nasai, I know I let you down
Gomen nasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
What I thought was a dream When I wanted to tell you Gomen nasai, for everything Gomen nasai, I let you down
An mirage
Was as real as it seemed
A privilege
I made a mistake
I walked away
Gomen nasai, Gomen nasai,
I never needed a friend,
Like I do now
Gomen nasai, Gomen nasai,
Gomen nasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now.."
Closing his eyes tears spilled down his already reddening cheeks, "Gomen-nasai Sasuke…I wasn't strong enough."
Lips cracked and turning a soft light blue his thought patterns were beginning to shut themselves down.
He opened the fist that had been clenched over his heart almost in a protective manner. There his hand held a small crumpled piece of paper that rustled against the will of the wind and the will of Naruto's heart to hold on to it.
In one swift movement Naruto released the struggling paper. Dull soulless blue eyes watched as it danced among the many dreams and thin strings of shattered memories of what once was the heart of his tortured soul.
-Else where-
A lone figure reached up and grasped a tattered piece of paper from the fierce currents of the wind and read it's contence aloud, "You are my precious person…but I can't hold onto you anymore…Aishiteru teme"
Crimson eyes faltered for a moment as they finished reading the sentence.
" Aishiteru Baka Dobe…."
