Author's Notes: Number four in the 'Air/Gaara Series'.

Pairing: Gaara/Airia (OC)

Note: The poem is in freestyle, and doesn't rhyme. This is Airia's POV. Someday I'll type one from Gaara's POV, don't worry.

Return

I walk

Alone

Traveling this cold path

Eyes down-cast

The Kazekage

Doesn't understand

No one

Understands

Why I continue

Waiting

I will always wait

For you

No matter how long

It takes

I will still be here

Waiting

A hush grew over the area

There wasn't even the chirp of a stray bird

Where did this silence come from?

Why was it here?

I could almost feel

You here with me

Right beside each other

As we once were

And then I turned

I see your eyes

Staring once again

Into mine

You were standing right there

As if you were a dream turned reality

I reach out

My fingers gently touching your face

You were really there

Not a ghost of memory still haunting me

Gaara

You've returned
