Author note: Wow… it's been a HECK of a long time since I've updated. Thank ya'll for your patience! (hands out cookies) I decided, since it's the holiday season, I'd update for you all. You deserve it.
And yes, this one has a poem in the beginning. (grins) I haven't written poetry in who knows how long…
Um… I can't remember if I replied to your reviews or not, since it's been so long. So, if you replied to my second oneshot, I'll list you here. If you are a member, your penname will be in bold. If you are an anonymous writer, I'll underline it.
Se-chan: Eheh… yea… Naruto died. I hope I didn't ruin all angst for you, though; I'm glad you liked the chapter before last, for it seems you're one of a very few… thanks for your review.
M Warrior: Better sweet than sour (Smiles)
Marine Brother Shran: Wow… (blinks in surprise) I feel so honored! Thank you for your –very- helpful input, as well as adding this story to your C2! Yes, I know most of these aren't very long, but I haven't much time on my hands. And yes, I know most of these are sad, but it is classified as romance/ANGST. Writing happier genres isn't really my strong point, but if you could give me any hints, I'd be glad to try. Even just a title would help a bunch. Thanks for your review.
Aya SL: Yea, it was sad, but I hope it was still okay. Thanks for your review.
Trenchcoatgirl-Kyo: (Grins sheepishly) Yah, it was sad, but… (shrugs) It's romance/ANGST… and I seem to be talented at tear-jerkers… I'll try to stick a happier one in here somewhere…

I Want You
I see you standing thereMy legs start to shake
My face is going red
My lip starts to quake
It was only the first day of a new year, and already, he had caught her eye. She gazed at him quietly from her seats, just a couple rows behind him. She felt her cheeks grow hot as she looked at him, and she bit the knuckle of her finger, casting her eyes down to study the surface of her desk.
And that was just the beginning…
I'm falling for youIs that so hard to see?
All I want
Is for you to be with me
Her heart gave an extra little thump of disappointment when her teacher didn't assign them onto the same team. Her spirits plummeted even lower when she realized who his teammates were. All her final hopes were cast away in a flurry of pink hair and bright, jade green eyes.
She wanted him to know—oh so badly—yet, she didn't want him to know… Love is so confusing…
The moment I saw youMy heart hit the floor
Your beautiful eyes
Make me blush even more
But although they weren't on the same team, she still saw him a fair amount. During the Chunin exams, she had nearly fainted when she noticed he had sat down next to her. Never had her name sounded so beautiful coming from someone's lips; never had she seen eyes so blue…
The way that you smile
The way that you laugh
Each and every moment
Tears my heart in half
The rich sound of his laughter should've made her heart beat faster. His smile, which used to send her spirit soaring, only made her quiet and withdrawn now.
For now, his smiles, laughter, and jokes weren't directed towards her. She could only stare, with envy, at the smiling, cheerful, pretty girl with rosy cheeks, petal hair, and eyes that were the color of the greenest grass.
Every time you walk by
I want to stop, sit and cry
'Cause in my heart I know the truth
I will never be with you
Hinata gave a small sigh as she kissed the picture—her favorite one—and tossed it in the trash. Swallowing hard, she uttered a whispered "goodbye" and left the room silently.
For him, for the sake of him and his cherry blossom, she'd suppress the longing that burned in her heart.
Though I say my love's no more
I know it's not really true
For there's only one thing I want
I want you…
The End
A/N: Yes, I know, another somewhat sad oneshot, but I hope you liked it anyway. I'll try to make the next one happier; I promise. Have a great Christmas everyone!
