How come?

by Corporal Levi

She was strong. She was pretty. She was smart. And she was the love of his life. But I wasn't. Then why did his lips crashed againts mine in a slow, sweet and gentle dance? Short One-shot/Poem dedicated to my friend Sarcastic Apple. Hinata-centric.

Just a short one-shot/poem about Hinata's feelings for Naruto I wrote for my friend SarcasticApple, hope you like it Apple ^^

She was strong. She was pretty. She was smart. And she was his love.

I would give anything to be in her place.

But I wasn't.

I wasn't strong. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't smart. And I wasn't anymore than a friend to him.

How can he not tell, that every time I see him I melt? That every time he's near my heart wants to jump out of my chest? How can he not tell that whenever he looks at me I drown in his ocean blue eyes?

I wish he knew that I would like to fly to the sky and scream my feelings to the earless space.

I wish he understood me, because love is giving everything you have to that person.

I wish he knew that I need his caresses, his hugs, and his kisses to survive.

But he doesn't.

Then, how come his arms are around me, holding me protectively against him?

Then how come I could hear his heart beating rapidly like a bird's wings?

Then how come he crashed his lips against mine in a slow, sweet and gentle dance?

I don't want to be hurt, so then how come my arms wrapped around his neck?

How come my heart was jumping almost painfully in my chest?

And how come my mouth followed the same rhythm as his?

That didn't matter right now. I will savor the moment while it lasts.

And I hope that when it's done, he will save this love that for long was drowning in silence but never died.
