Why? Why did he go? Every day, I ask myself this, and every day, I find myself without an answer. Power…it seems obvious, but Sasuke…wasn't he strong enough? Wasn't he able to do anything he put his mind to?
Maybe…maybe he wasn't. Maybe he couldn't do everything. I don't know why, but I've always found this hard to believe. Sasuke always seemed…invincible to me. Stronger than everyone else.
I thought it would hurt more, being separated from him for almost three years, but it didn't. After a while, I began to focus more on training and stopped thinking of Sasuke. Stopped asking myself why he left. Left all of us. Left me.
And then I saw him. He had changed so much, and yet…I still saw the boy I loved, the boy I had cried over so much. But…he wasn't the same. The darkness that had always been inside him had taken over, leaving behind only slight traces of the boy I once knew.
And that upsets me the most. I guess I always knew I never had a chance, that he would never see me as anything other than an annoyance, and it didn't hurt as much as it could have when he told me that, but…
I couldn't find the boy I loved. He's lost, gone forever most likely. And it hurts. I thought I was over it, but finding out I wasn't…
I still love him. I probably always will.
Even if he's already dead to us. Even if there's no way to bring him back home. Back to me.
I still love him.
