No Matter What

'There it is again. She looks at me with those large jade eyes and I can't help but think that she knows what I hide. She may be younger than me, but she sees things that I myself cannot see. I can't hide my feelings from her behind my ever-present mask. I've never felt this way before. Does she see that I blame myself for my teammates deaths? Can she see that I feel responsible for Sasuke's departure? Does she know that I curse myself for neglecting her when she had just as much potential as Naruto? But no. She trust's me like no one else has done. She doesn't care that I have my faults, she just loves me for who I am.'

'No matter what I think she knows that I can be saved. She believes in my abilities and in my thoughts. She loves me; I can see it in her shining eyes. I cannot give her what she wants. At least not now, my heart is still too heavy. For her belief I am now able to live a little more. I can now see some of the qualities that she sees in me. I may love her.'

'When I turn my back on her and leave her during training I know that she understands. She let's me continue on with my guilt even though it hurts her to see me like this. She knows there is nothing she says that will be able to comfort me. She let's me reminisce on these sad thoughts and I am grateful for that. Even when I contemplate taking my own life she gives me a kiss and walks away. Just with that one simple action I am able to continue.'

'She sits next to me, tracing patterns on my hand. Her silence is endearing and I open up to her. I tell her about my past, which no one else knows. She remains silent and comforts me with a hug while my heart hurts. She tells me that she loves me. She doesn't expect anything in return, but I see that she wants love too. She is still hurting after Sasuke's departure and death. I can see it in her eyes. But the walls I have built around my soul have begun to break. Maybe given time, I can love her like she deserves.'

'My past has all been death and sadness. I was never happy until she came into my life. She may have been a young naïve twelve-year-old girl but she saw more than anyone else did; she is precious to me. When my thoughts get the better of me she is right beside me. Just by looking into her brilliant eyes I am able to breathe easier. Hope, faith, and love are all directed at me.'

'One night. It has changed everything. She has given herself to me. She has so much trust and faith in me that it could fill the entire world. She whispers my name in the throes of passion. I can hear the love behind her words. I have never doubted that love.'

“I love you.”

'I realized what I was missing in life and it was you. You are the other half of my soul. No matter what happens from now on I will always love you. You made me see the light of life and I plan to share it with you for the rest of our lives. I love you and nothing will ever tear us apart. Our bond is stronger than steel. We are one, my sweet Sakura.'

I hope you all liked this. Even though it was really short. I got this idea from the song Come What May by Air Supply. I plan on writing some more drabbles then making a story out of them. Hopefully a long one. XD
