Hello dear reader! .

This fanfic is a oneshot poem-type-thing, although it doesn't rhyme nor do the lines in each verse match up. One-sided SasuSaku, implied shounen ai. It's basically about Sakura's love for Sasuke, but he doesn't return her feelings, and how much that hurt her etc.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I do however own Naruto merchandise!XD

There are truths we cannot hide,

There are feelings we cannot displace.

And sometimes,

There are facts that we have to face,

Despite how much they may hurt.

What should've been a childish crush,

Has become so much more.

It was like an uncontrollable force,

Pulling me closer to you,

Until the point where I couldn't fully let go,

No matter how hard I have tried.

You were handsome, intelligent,

Talented, cool, and, to me,

You were the embodiment of perfection,

Not only to me, but to many others,

But I was the only one,

Who truly loved you.

As everyday passed, my feelings were amplified.

I would look at you with longing eyes,

I would call to you with passion in my voice,

But it would never fully reach you.

So many times have I put my faith into you,

So many times I have foreseen my future being with you,

Clinging foolishly to my own expectations,

Blissfully unaware of how you truly felt towards me.

Thinking back on it now,

How could I be so oblivious?

We saw each other in two different lights,

I though of you as the man I loved,

You though of me as only a friend.

This fact became more obvious

After seeing you after two and a half years,

Your ambitions completed with your fulfilled vengeance.

I remember imagining how the scene would go,

We would be running toward each other in slow-motion,

Both with outstretched arms

You would hold me tightly, and pull me into a passionate kiss.

Then we would announce our love toward each other

And live happily ever after.

Just like those cheesy scenes in those romance movies.

Me and my foolish aspirations.

But deep down, I knew.

This dream would never come true.

But I ignored this, and continued hoping,

Hoping that you would come to the realization,

That I was the one meant for you,

I always believed that you were mistaken for rejecting me,

But I guess I was truly the one who was mistaken.

Even today, my feelings toward you haven't changed.

There will always be a part of me that keeps loving you,

That keeps hoping for you to return to me,

No matter how hard I tried,

I was unable to fully let you go.

I keep telling myself,

"As long as you're happy, I'm happy."

And I continue my life, putting on a cheerful countenance when around you,

Even though it hurts so much seeing you,

Much like a knife slowly piercing my skin,

Being pushed deeper and deeper each passing day.

After all these years, I've learned many things,

But one of the most important things I've learned is this:

Love is a truly complex emotion; it can hurt so badly,

But when you find someone who loves you the way you love them,

It can make you the happiest person alive.

Even in knowing this, I still find myself envious toward the boy who stole your heart.

The way you hold him, the manner in which you kiss him,

I can't help but wish I was in his position.

But seeing your smile when you're with him,

I know there is nothing I could do to change your mind.

If I had one wish,

It would be to find my own love.

I want to experience the same happiness you are.

One day, I will find the one who is meant for me.

And one day, I will fully get over you.

But no matter what happens between us, I just want you to know,

I'll never stop loving you.

Owari.

R&R, ONEGAI!

Yes, I know it's very crappy (like everything I write), flame if you please! But try to make it constructive, at least. Well, hope you liked it.
