Just One Smile

A SasuNaru Poem

I believe in your dream

It was the only thing I could say

In this moment that was both a fantasy

And the closest I've ever come to a future

Not stained by a red cloud's blood

I suppose I was, and still am, broken

So I built walls high so people couldn't reach me

But you smiled

And all those walls I had built up over time

They started to crumble away

Your grin stretched

And you reached out your hand

Along the line, our hating each other became pretend

Fighting, healing, maybe laughing…

Saving each other's lives…

And if I was a different person

There are many things I would say

But I'm just me

And eventually I must go

And put a shadow on your face

I hate myself

Because eventually

I will stop your smile

But for now our fingers will intertwine

And the child in me will cry when you whisper

~Bonds can't be broken~
