DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto.
I was feeling rather sad the other day, so I wrote this! (a tiny moment of Hinata-Me empathy)
Hope you like it!
I'm in heaven.
I listen to his chatter, drinking in every single word he says.
I watch his smile, and feel its radiance heal my broken heart.
For now...
Just for now...
I can close my eyes I pretend they're mine.
All mine.
Meant only for me, and no-one else.
'He loves me,' I whisper,
'He loves me'
'He loves me'
'He loves me'
…and if I can say it enough times, it might one day come true.
But it won't.
Sakura's arrived.
She links her arm through his and they both turn to each other, locking themselves into their own little world.
Locking me out as well.
He's completely forgotten I'm here now. I can see it in the way he looks at her.
The way he talks to her,
The way he smiles at her.
They turn and walk away, without even a 'goodbye.'
I won't follow them.
Why should I?
I don't want to ruin their happiness.
'Naruto's happiness is my happiness,' I tell myself.
Perhaps if I can say that enough times, it might one day become true as well.
But as I watch their backs disappearing into the distance, I don't feel happy at all.
I feel my heart breaking all over again.
Deep wounds reopening again.
Wounds that will leave scars.
And scars that will always remind me,
That no matter how hard I try,
How hard I dream,
How hard I pray,
I will only ever be…
His second best.
-sighs- Proof-reading that just depressed me all over again. (not that I'm emo or anything - check out my Jinta crackfic!)
I do hope this turned out ok. Please review? Pleeeease?
