"Those Words"
It was just an ordinary day. Nothing happened in the morning, I waited until the afternoon, the mail came.
Bill... bill... a letter?
I haven't received one in so long, who could it be from? The address, from Naruto. Huh, that baka... now he decides to send me a letter after its been nearly a whole year. I opened the letter swiftly, the envelope seemed oddly damp.
There hasn't been any rain lately.
The moist parchment had smeared ink across the page, in Naruto's handwriting.
"Dear Sakura-chan...
Sorry I haven't been sending you any letters. Being Hokage is tough, how have you been? Kakashi-sensei is still reading that book of his, and begs Ero-sennin everyday to write more. I've also been busy dragging Ero-sennin away from the woman's baths...
Actually... Sakura-chan, I've written this letter to tell you... the news about Sasuke. He... died on a mission to hunt down the Akatsuki members."
Sasuke? Died?... Gone?
My beloved Sasuke-kun, gone, gone forever?
Now I know why the letter was wet... tears, now my own fell down mixing with Naruto's.
Sasuke-kun... I haven't even gotten a chance to tell you how much I cared for you... How I wished in my days of innocent childishness I could have seemed more serious. Not like a little puppy dog crush!
Sasuke-kun... How I haven't seen you in so long! Your raven locks and dark eyes still drift into my mind at night. How I wished you were there...
Now you aren't here anymore...
How I wish I could've said those words...
