Spirit

Konoha Ninja Sasuke's Lover

There you are, sleeping

But you left your radio on

I inspected your work

Listening to the slow sad song

I have always been here

Watching you, being with you

Never leaving your side

From every bonjour to every adieu

Every friendship, every fight

I smile to myself

But you despite how close I am

You never know that I am here

Because I am neither animal nor man

You can never reach me yet I am so very near

We were together before

A long time ago before you were here

We were lovers

We were friends

But when we died your memories were cleared

Except mine, I still love you

Still waiting, still willing like a never-ending dance

I'm glad you're happy now

I wish I could feel the same

You have everything and everyone

But you never know my name

You will never know I am waiting for you

It doesn't matter if I left or came

I wish I could leave a hint

Or a message to tell you the way we were

But I could not touch nor feel

I had no beliefs, I can't resort to prayer

So holding your pen and on my knees I kneel

I can't take it anymore

You'll never know I'm here

I traced the words on the paper

But of course it leaves no marks

And with a tear I disappear

Leaving emptiness, sorrow, and a broken heart

With my last existence

I wished that the pencil would leave a smear

And pray my new life would be with better luck

And hoping I will have no more of these bitter memories to fear

The next morning the room was the same as before

But there was a feeling of emptiness

And sadness, but above all: the feeling of amour

Perhaps there was a merciful god

Or a merciful deity

But on a piece of paper next to the sleeping man

There was a clue

It was scribbled very hastily by a shaky hand

Leaving a little mystery and the words

"I LOVE YOU…"
