To Catch You
By Durian
The moon feels close enough to catch,
Yet it is far beyond my reach.
You belong in the wild but I can hope,
To tame you and keep you within my arms…
What is mine can eventually turn to dust,
At least the memory will trail…
I am most at ease when I stare at your sleeping form so beautiful as you are. You come to me late at night after all your missions have been taken care of, for that I am grateful. I know deep down that you are the one for me and no one could change that fact, not even you. I will wait patiently for you to admit that I am the one and only for you too.
"Who do you belong to?" You whispered in my ear.
"Who else but you." I answered back.
While you have passed the test and gone and became a Jounin I am still a Chuunin teaching at the Academy. Why was I always so weak? It seemed like everyone has moved ahead of me and became stronger, yet I could only sulk and grow weaker. You never seemed to care about my failure and have always encouraged me to be who I am but I mind.
Usually everyone passes the Jounin test within his or her first attempt but it has been my third unsuccessful attempt. I have lost all my confidence in succeeding but I wish to catch up to your level. My accomplishments and low ranked missions seemed incomparable to yours. I felt bad because I always needed you to be by my side in order to feel happy and safe.
On this particular night you told me that you have an important mission with Sakura and that you would be leaving very early in the morning. My body tensed up and jealousy spread all over me yet I could not raise my head and tell you of my detest. I blamed myself for not being in the same level as Sakura and then I am frightened by the fact that you could be lying to me.
"Do you have any problems with that?" You asked.
"No."
I had wanted to say yes but the word would not escape my mouth. 'Of course I had a problem with that, you are going off for who knows how long with the girl you potentially liked since Genin time.' Our conversation deceased after that because I did not know what else to say. All I could do was hug onto you tightly all-night and hope that you would forget to wake up.
Usually you liked to sleep in but somehow you managed to wake up. My mind screamed silently for you to not to leave me. I held onto your hand tightly and looked directly into your mesmerizing blue eyes. Tears were about to spill out as you unclasped my hand. Please don't go…
"I have to go." You said coldly.
I watched you walk off into the distance and wished that I could follow you. 'How important can this mission be? Certainly there should be room for me to follow you, right? After all, which girl in the world can trust their boyfriend alone with another girl?'
