Hinata's poem to Sasuke

I can tell you were faking

When you laid in bed at night, and tried to get to sleep

On your own, the darkness near, you fell apart and weeped.

Your youth was taken from you, taken by your brother,

Your smile was gone; your tears were clear, fallen for your mother.

Bet you never knew? The pain I hid inside.

Everything's askew... It was hidden in my eyes.

They thought me weak, they called me meek… they could not truly see me.

They thought you strong, I called them wrong… Tell me you do agree.

Why could they not see? I'm not just Hyuuga's heiress.

I may have been soft, not too aloft, but I promise I wasn't careless.

I had often suffered… pretended that I'm no good,

You had impressed, been quick, progressed, but still been misunderstood.

There are times when I started to think, that maybe I should state,

That I could see you faking, but then I thought to wait.

I could see you crying, although you did not show.

No one could see my heartbreak; it's only I that knows.

I wondered what its like; to be able to tell a friend.

No one saw me fading, they won't see 'til the end.

You always acted uncaring, your feelings long since lost.

I always acted with pity, one that can't be crossed.

I saw in your eyes, a small boy with big aims.

Had you looked into mine closely; maybe you'd see the same.

Naruto – kun and Sakura, I saw worry in their eyes.

Shino – kun and Kiba – kun, couldn't see past my disguise.

Remember when we were small children, before we both were strong,

A smiling girl and a happy boy; I wonder what went wrong.

You then lost your family, your childhood was serene,

Mother died, father denied, I remained unseen.

I sometimes wished to go back, and try to change the past,

I'd take you back there with me, if that is what you asked.

But, so sad, we could not go, there's nothing I could do.

Just know that I'd do anything, to earn a smile from you.

Your laughter, I couldn't wish for. 'Cause I couldn't make it true.

I wished that maybe one day, someone would rescue you.

You tried so hard, your inner's scarred, and slowly you were breaking,

I acted so shy, I often cried, who knew that I was faking

You faked an act, an act that's cracked, your shattered masquerade,

I acted so low, although I know, that one day I would fade.

You wore it like a lifeline, to help you through the day.

But mine's the perfect design; it helped me get away.

--o--

I sit you down, I see you frown, and ask why I'm full of sadness.

I shut my eyes, and start to cry, and tell you my life's madness.

You sit and listen, my tears glisten, and you tell me it's alright,

I nod my head, at what you said, and then you hugged me tight.

And then you started kissing me, telling your love as well.

I cry, you sigh; my tears you dry, you caught me when I fell.

I told you my secret, one that I've never told,

I wonder can you keep it, or tell and see what unfolds.

I know we're getting married; we love each other so.

But for too long have I carried, my burden - I had to show.

Please, just don't be angry, it is all I ask.

It's because I love you dearly, I tell you of my past.

You can make me better, you can mend my soul,

You can right my corrupted past; and make me once more whole.

You've seen me at my weakest,

My lover, my best friend.

I'd gladly spend eternity,

I'd be with you until the end.

Ravishing me, now... Yes, so good to me.

Underneath my shy demeanour, I know it's me you see.

You tell me that you're sorry,

That you saw me far too late.

I tell you not to worry,

Because you were worth the wait.

But still you whisper apologies,

But still you try and make amends.

You're asking me for forgiveness,

With kisses do I defend.

But you're not mad,

Maybe a bit sad,

But my neck you're kissing.

My once sad past,

Has long since passed,

I'm no longer reminiscing.

Well I'll explain because it's confusing.

Basically, Hinata is talking how Sasuke and herself both always pretended to be something they weren't - Sasuke pretended he never cried while Hinata pretended she was weak but happy. However Hinata could tell Sasuke had always been unhappy but she, herself, was too good for anyone to tell. When she tells him he is upset but she tells him she is ok with it.
