I do not own Naruto, all rights go to Masashi Kishimoto.

Love-filled Rivals

My gaze follow your eyes,
which are full of hate and guise.
I yearn to go and say,
"It will always be okay."
To show you're not alone,
That our friendship is sketched in stone.
But as you're staring at me,
my confidence seems to flee,
So I huff and walk away,
while the clouds turn dark and grey.

My eyes follow your movements,
which have undergone improvements.
People all say that you're cool,
That you're the greatest guy in school.
And although you make me jealous...
I guess I'm still a bit zealous.
So as your mind is full of tension,
I'm aiming to catch your attention.

My movements follow your rage,
Your emotions are locked in a cage.
We express ourselves in fights,
We bring our fists to new heights.
And when it's time to rest,
You are no longer stressed.
I hope you truly see...
How much you're starting to mean to me.

My rage rids things in my path,
I can't stop, all I feel is this wrath.
The snake took you away,
So now he'll have to pay.
We're searching for you all over,
Even under the Japanese clover.
I'm studying straight from the tome...
...Teme, please come home.

Our paths finally meet,
Though there isn't really a greet.
Your eyes are black as coal,
Ones from your brother you stole.
I expect to get insulted,
Called "dobe" and repeatedly taunted,
But all you do is smile,
One that would catch my breath from a mile,
And you gently reach out,
To poke my head, without a doubt.
Your eyes have grown warm,
Gone from their previous storm,
And your voice is completely breathtaking
as you say,
"You are truly captivating."
My mouth once again starts to work,
"I love you."
And he replies with a smirk,
"I know, and I do too."
