Handsome
Tender
Soft
Temari just sat and stared, as usual, as he walked by. She could hardly breathe in his presence. As she forced herself to take in the labored breaths, Temari once again took notice of everything that was perfect about him. The muscular frame of his body, the chocolate essence of his hair, the cold, piercing stare of his eyes. He walked right past, without so much as glancing her way. Temari quickly looked away before her emotions got the better of her.
Why do you look right through me
Thinking
"No?"
She cringed whenever someone mentioned it to her again. "Didn't you hear? He's dating that guy from his team!" Temari refused to believe it. He was god-like. Why would he waste his time with that good-for-nothing shinobi? Especially since he did not even notice that she, Temari, existed, there is no way her would find anything appealing about her. Could he? It pained her to think of it. It made her feel lonely, hopeless, empty. Temari shook her head, her entire body, to rid herself of the horrible feeling. The hole in her heart widened while the trench in her soul deepened.
I can't deny my feelings
Growing
Strong
Temari clutched the pillow to her aching chest, wishing, praying that sleep would come to her. She had been tossing and turning for hours. Stealing a glance at the clock, she sighed shakily. 3:34. Had she really been up that long thinking about him? Him. And how he did not even know she existed. How she thought of him, dreamed of him, pained for him. Fighting back the tears she promised she would not shed, Temari turned over once more in bed. No matter how hard she tried, she could not expel the thoughts of the perfectly sculpted man from her mind. As she continued to think about him, an unnameable feeling crawled inside her, setting her soul on fire. The burning agony took over her entire being as she clawed helplessly at her sheets, trying to get away.
I try to keep believing
Dreaming
On
When she awoke, Temari sat up abruptly. She was surprised that she had actually been allowed to sleep by the burning pain, but what shocked her even more was that she really and truly dreamed. What a wonderful dream it was. The way he comforted her, caressed her under the moonlight. She felt as though she had really experienced the sensation of his skin against hers. Goosebumps rippled across her body as she thought about it, remembered it, relived it all over again. She clenched her sheets between her toes and rubbed her legs against one another as she relished every second of the ecstasy she knew would eventually vanish. Disintegrate as soon as she snapped back into reality.
And every time I see you
I crave
More
Temari sat in her usual spot, waiting for him to walk past once more. She longed to hear his voice, smell his scent, see his beauty. Behind her Noh mask of a face, the raging emotions inside were tearing her apart. Her mind was telling her that her obsession was unhealthy, but her heart told her to keep loving, wanting, desiring. Silently he approached. Temari drew in her breath, hoping to supply herself with enough oxygen to accommodate the next few moments she would be without air. It was at that moment when he looked at her. Looked directly at her with those empty, colorless eyes. And she knew that she loved for a reason.
I want to pull you closer
Closer
Closer
Closer
But you leave me feeling frozen.
A/N: I have no intention of saying who "he" is. If you paid close enough attention you should already know. So anyway, hoped you enjoyed it. Please, oh please review!
