Two wayward souls.

An. This is the poetic pain that lies in my heart and this is a SASU/NARU friendship!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto if I did I would be rich and not working!

We didn't better.

Don't let me walk away.

We were kids in a grown up world.

Don't suffer in heartache.

How did we ends up playing a grown up game.

Don't watch me leave, stop me.

I was a wounded soul.

• You weren't as innocent as you let people believe...

I simply lost my way.

• And you simply choose yours...

I suffered silently but always with a smile.

• You broadcast yours out and used it...

I choose to grin and bear it.

• While you danced in your drug induced haze...

I see reality the good the bad and the ugly, yet I try to look toward the light.

• While you only see the bad the ugly, letting the good go by as an illusion, yet you wonder why your so bitter...

I know and like myself. I know what lies beyond my fractured mask.

• You are so wrapped up in your falsehoods that you believe them to be true...

I found and believe in myself, question is when will you wake up and see that your life is a lie?

"Sasuke...Why didn't you come with us?" Naruto whispered softly into the wind before heading toward the celebration on top of the hokage monument.
