This is my entry for the poem contest in the Naruto x Sakura guild on gaiaonline. I love NaruSaku, but I'm not so sure if I like this poem. Me and poems don't go too well together. Anyway, it's about how Sakura left to be with Sasuke, and how Naruto still loves her, even though he's now alone. Enjoy, and please do review!


Never Say Good-Bye

He sat next to you

You cried your heart out

Nothing special about the day

Yet you cried your heart out.

Where does that strength come from?

I've always been curious.

You find the will to walk on, walk on.

Never leave anyone behind.

You cried.

You cried.

You cried.

Did he make you cry?

And did he have to say 'Good-bye'?

I'll watch you with my eyes, mutely.

Don't want to see you go

But you seem to love him, so

I'll let you go.

Because I love you, and here it is

Your strength comes from your heart

I know that now.

You won't leave anyone behind

Because you've got that heart

That's why I fell in love with you

To watch that heart bloom

Soft eyes

Pink hair

Determined expression.

And now I know

Still, I favor you.

You've gone away, but your presence lingers in my mind

So really, you haven't left.

You just took a break.

I hope you're happy, it's all I ever wished for

It's hard to believe that you're gone.

But I know you're not, so I'm okay.

Thank you, Sakura-chan.

My first true love.
