Lone Wolf: And...the poem.

Almost Free - Sakura's POV
It's been days, weeks, and months
since you left and
each day that passes me by,
your memory
begins to fade
more and more.
I think to myself that
I'm almost free,
free from your hair,
your eyes, your personality,
and free from you.
Another day passes.
It's just like the rest,
and you're drifting
further and further
away.
I promised myself
that I'd never forget you
and that I'd always be yours.
And that's the only thing,
the only reason I'm still tied
to you.
Another week passes
and a mission comes for
Naruto.
Another clue, another hint
to bring us just
a few steps closer
to bringing you back
and I'm caught again
in your memory.
Another day, week
and you're still not back
and I'm starting to escape again.
But as I lay in my room,
trying to fall asleep,
my memories of you
come rushing back.
And I think of all the times
we spent together.
And all the fun the four
of us had.
I'm reminded of the reason
you left,
your horrible past, your brother,
the slaughter.
I wish that none of it had happened,
and maybe then,
you'd be here with me.
Maybe you're thinking the same thing,
but we both know
that this dream
will never come true.
You face, your smirk,
everything about you,
it all comes flooding back.
I wonder what you're doing
at this hour.
Are you sleeping, training, eating,
or maybe thinking of me?
Do you even remember me?
I fall asleep and wake
the next day,
any traces of yesterday's
thoughts are gone.
And I'm almost free again.
Another day, week, month has passed,
and you're still not home.
I'm thinking about you
again
as much as I don't
want to.
I have no say, no choice,
no control over
what comes flying
into my head,
and right now,
they're thoughts of you.
I think of our parting
and the few words you said.
But mainly that last,
single word
'arigatou'
and to this day I still
don't know what
you meant.
But I hope that
someday I will.
Someday...
As I sit here,
writing this poem
about you,
I realize that I'll
never be free...
But it's okay.
As long as
you'll come back to me...
One day...

Lone Wolf: For some reason when I was righting this, it sounded like a bunch of Nickleback songs and the song 'You and Me' mixed together...eh. So how was it? I don't exactly like poems all that much...but this idea came flying into my head so I had to write it / type it.
