Cherry Petals (Sasuke POV)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

It took my breath away

Just to see her pink hair sway

As the cherry petals danced its way

All I wanted was for you to stay

I know I have my regret

And now in despair, I fret

For a heart may be broken one more time

Though the other way around, it'll be mine

The prickling pain in my chest

I just don't know what to do best

Should I be what I was years back?

Rejecting her, for what I lack

Now that I have accomplished my plan

There's nothing left to be done

Though the haunting past never ceased

I got my revenge as I pleased

As victorious as I was

There is something amiss

The longing in my heart

Never want with me to part

Slowly but surely, I realized

The fast beating of my heart as cold as ice

The warm red hue spreading through my cheeks

And stupidly becoming meek

I tried to hide

What I feel inside

I tried to abide

Put my heart aside

But something tells me

I have to be free

Let my emotions flow through

And express them with you

Walking down the street, I saw your eyes

Greenest of green they were but full of lies

Your gaze averted, your steps quickened

My heart contracted as we parted

Never trusting my emotions which I started to fight

I've always had kept out of your sight

Day by day you became stronger

Surely, you bloomed into a beautiful flower

The desire within me burned fiercer

That I could resist no longer

I want to be with you, hold you tight

Always protect you with all my might

How could this happen

That all of a sudden

Your love for me weakened

And I am left burdened

Once again in my life

In a way someone died

Or perhaps, you removed me

From your broken memory?

How I wish I could turn back the time

And finally make you mine

But I know that this cannot be

For this is part of my destiny

But that doesn't stop me from loving you so

And I do too, but with sorrow

For today, I must restrain

In the shadows, I must remain

A/N: I am in such a poetic mood today so I decided to post this.. Anyway, I wrote it with my friend Juna. You can also find her account here although she doesn't have her stories yet..
