Hey, new poem here. I'm not sure if anyone reads these, but I'm putting it out. I'm sorry if you're one of the people reading Snow, but I've hit a roadblock in my mind. My original plan for the story fell through, and I can't think of anything to replace it. Suggestions in PM form are welcome. On with the show!
I saw you today, you know.
I swear I did.
Just a flash of your hair,
A glimpse of your sleeve,
And a whiff of your sweet scent.
Tantalizing sights and smells
Which remind me of you.
It's not just that, either.
I hear you too.
A whisper, barely audible,
So quiet I wonder if I hear it at all,
Breathes my name into my ear.
And sometimes late at night
I'll wake up,
The taste of your lips lingering on mine.
I open my eyes
And survey the room.
No one there.
The same for the streets.
I can find no source
For the sights, the smells,
And the sounds.
But I don't want to.
I don't want to find
A flapping curtain in a window,
Or a broken bottle of perfume
To tell me that
It wasn't you.
I want to believe
That you're still here with me,
That you're not gone,
Far away to a place
Where I cannot follow.
Why did you have to go?
To leave me alone,
With only memories,
With only memories,
Teasing glimpses and snatches
To remember you by.
I don't want to be tortured
By these echoes of you.
But, at the same time,
I don't want them to cease.
They're all I have left of you,
And I don't want to forget.
The little reminders
Reassure me that, maybe
Even though you're gone,
You're still with me.
Yeah. Wrote that last summer and just typed it up. If you didn't get this, Hinata has died in this. Naruto's mourning. Hope that cleared up some things. Please read and review! Those really do lift me out of the dark cloud of my real life, if only for a moment. And, as I said, please give me suggestions!
Adios!
