Discalimer: I don't own Naruto or the Bible, which is where I got the title. I wish I did own Naruto though.
Love is Blind
I can't explain how it happened. I don't know why it happened. All I know is this: somewhere along the line we fell in love.
He is everything unsafe. He is everything I am not: angry, vengeful, aggressive. Yet, he makes me whole, completes me.
Each moment with him reveals more and more about the beauty of his nature. Each day I learn more and love more.
I love the way he touches the tips of his fingers to mine. Affectionate yet cautious. I love the feeling of his rough hands gently skimming across my face in an attempt to make sense of me, of us. I love the sense of security given to me when I feel grains of sand slowly crawl onto my hands and arms and firmly plant themselves there. He is my protector.
Yes, I have heard the stories about his capabilities. I know his power firsthand. I have faced his wrath before. I see the fear generated in people when they see him passing by. To them, he is a demon. Nothing but a monster. To me, he is life. He is love. I see him for who he really is each time I look into his eyes. I am his cherry blossom blooming in his sand. For, you see, love is blind.
I was thinking about love one day and how strange a thing it is. My friend and I were talking about strange couples that didn't seem to fit together, but they love each other madly. Many had been married for many years. Then I thought of one of my favorite "odd" pairings: GaaraxSakura from Naruto and had to write this. Hope someone likes it and understands where I'm coming from.
