Dear Sasuke,

Dear Sasuke,

I wanted you to know:

It isn't love that makes me chase after you

It's not caring that makes me long for the days you were here

It's not the sight of your hair or the play of your lips

Lust has nothing to do with this

It is not hate that keeps me following you

I wish it was

Because you would understand that.

I could never hate like you do

Could never let it consume me and encompass my soul

Painting everything that was once beautiful, with a pathetic violent red

Hate has nothing to do with this

I don't do it to prove that I can to you

Or to Naruto

Or Kakashi-sensei

I do it because I have to

Because in order for the world I believe in to exist

Good has to win

And you have to come home

Sakura
