He looked at me and said, "Do you ever feel like you're working for something you're never going to get? You know a shoot-and-miss kind of deal. Like no matter what, you can't have it, but that makes you fight for it just a little bit more?"
I looked over to see him staring over the balcony. His blonde hair blowing carelessly in the wind, his blue eyes shining in the sunset making them appear to be clear. For a second I was lost in the moment, in the silence that fell upon us. He seemed so serious, older and wiser so to speak, then he turned to me and smiled that goofy grin of his.
Shyly I returned the smile and looked out into the sunset before replying, "Everyday." At that moment a pink haired ninja walked beneath the balcony and Hinata turned towards the woman she knew he'd go after. Sure enough his smile grew, his eyes sparkled and his voice called out to her.
"Sakura-chan! Wait for me!" I watched him leap off the balcony and after the running kunoichi. I leaned on to the railing and sighed. Smiling sadly I watched the two wrestle on the ground right before Sakura breaks the walkway they're standing on. I think they compliment each other nicely, especially now.
Even if he doesn't know that I'm here, even if he doesn't know how I feel. I'll still be here, because his presence is always enlightening. Because he always makes me feel warm inside, alive...like someone out there could really love me. Because when he's near I'm happy, I'm content, nothing in the world could ever touch me..could ever hurt me. But most of all, I'll stay close too him...near to him...just because I can.
