Since You've Been Gone

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
While some think I just act, I do think
It's just that I get excited, and lose my focus
You helped set me right
Gave me a goal to attain
Yet your not here, anymore

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
You left me there
After I gave it my all
I always aimed for you
One of my goals
Your approval meant more to me
Then whatever the others may think

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
My rival, I made you be
Everything you achieved
I wanted to achieve
Anything to make you look at me
To make you see there is more to me

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
With you gone, I feel something missing
Your remarks, your presence
Everything seems so lost
Without you here, why do I go on?
I wanted you to see I can become
That which I have aimed for

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
After you left, it all seems dull
While you were cold, weren't you bright?
Compared to before to now
I know that you lost something
What happened to you
Just all bottled up
The steam never escaped

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
I'm leaving now, years or more
I am going to get stronger
Strong enough to drag you back
Home to where you belong
To where they miss you
To where I miss you

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
I told you then, while on the cliffs
That I thought of you like a brother, to me
You through that back at me
Stomping upon my precious feelings
Don't you know, I have no one

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
So here I am, standing upon the Faces
Those before us, those after us
Looked upon here, seeing it all
Vacancy rests in my heart
Leaving in order to come back
Will you come home?

Since you've been gone,
I have gone through my mind.
The sun will rise, the dark will vanish
This is what I will do
I will come for you, someday
Someday soon I hope
Nothing will stop me
You will come home
You belong here, with us, with me

Since you've been gone,
I have been through my mind.
When I get stronger, to prove to you
That I am right, that I can become it
Then you will return, to be by my side
It is my will, and I will not be denied
You've become my best friend
Without you I feel nothing
Hollowed victory, hollow

A young man with blond hair and blue eyes with six straight marks on his cheeks, lets go of his hand. A piece of paper flies into the air. He looks upon it until he can it see it no longer. He turns his head and looks at the coming bright dawn. A sad smile is on his face. No tears or tracks just poignant murky blue eyes, a sign of severe sorrow.

The young man shields his eyes to the bright light of the coming horizon. His tilts his head straight up into the dimming stars. He says a few words and climbs down from a mountain that faces an awakening village below.

As the young man makes his way down the mountain, the words he spoke reverberates through the air, "I Uzumaki Naruto vow this upon my future as Rokudaime of Konohagakure, that you Uchiha Sasuke, will be returned home."

As the air echoes the sound waves and Naruto walks down the mountain a shadow moves and is gone in the blind of an eye.

Inspiration for this short fic was by reading Seito's "No Longer A Demon"

This was written fast and may not make a lot of sense, but I hope ya'll enjoy it as I had writing it. Damn man I looked up three different areas to find what I needed. Who knew how hard it was going to be to find the Japanese titles. But I believe it was well worth it. Coolsa.

Ps. I very much dislike this format. Put I don't know html, or how to fix it. sigh

Disclaimer, I don't own Naruto. Beside the characters involved and the place of the story it is all mine. I will allow people to use my setup/poem as long as I get credit. :)
