The Flood
Hinata stares out to sea from a small window in a lighthouse. She sighs and turns off the lights before grabbing her coat and walking outside. She thinks back to the night before;
I saw you coming; felt the ship wreck. Saw the shipwreck, I heard you yelling. Wondering where you were washed up.
Her eyes prickle with oncoming tears as she steps onto the beach.
Sitting on the shore all day waiting for the tide to come.
She hastily wipes away tears and sits at the water's edge.
But you can't hold onto water. It fills you up but never stays. You're slipping through my fingers touch. A natural disaster love.
Eventually, after hours of non-stop staring at the sea, she lies down and her eyes start to struggle to stay open.
Stay out tonight, by the beach house. Lit a candle by the window so you might find it. Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home. Still, I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning. Just waiting on the tide to come.
Her hand curls itself around a small item in her hand protectively as she continues to force herself to stare out to sea. For him, only him. She shivers quietly.
I knew the waves were icy when I felt them retreating.
She blinks the tears from her eyes and tries to push away the feeling that envelopes her heart.
You can't hold onto water. It's only good to wash away today. You're slipping through my fingers touch. Natural disaster love, bringing on the Flood.
She sits up and gasps from the same image that flashes through her mind, but she's determined to believe there's still a way. There's still a chance.
Love me like a flood, the flood. Rising and falling in my dreams. Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean.
She peers up through her eye lashes at the shadow coming towards her. The light from the lighthouse sweeps around and illuminates the figure.
"Naruto!"
He takes her hand and the small diamond ring she held onto so tightly, before sliding it onto her ring finger.
