Dear Dad,

What happened? What the hell made you so psychotic? You weren't always so mean. I know I was young, but I could see you getting worse. And when Gaara was born, you lost it. Was it because of mom? Well I fucking miss her too. You were so selfish. We needed you. All of us. My heart wasn't always so covered in ice. I was your little girl, I would have done anything for you. But you abandoned us. And you never looked back. You closed yourself off from all of us and left us to fend for ourselves. And then when you tried to kill Gaara. Well I can never forgive you. You tried so hard to destroy our family and now that you're gone we're working on putting it back together. You should see Kankuro, he's grown into such a great man. He looks a lot like you. And I've become quite the shinobi. But Gaara, he's grown so much. He's a better Kazekage than you ever were. He's such a wonderful person, why couldn't you just give him a chance? Why couldn't you just love him? Why couldn't you love us? Dad, I loved you. I loved you so much. Why couldn't you just love me back? Gaara and Kankuro never seem to understand and I can't explain it to them. I just wanted you to be there. I just wanted you around. I wanted a father. I wanted you to be proud of us. Of me. But it's too late now. I can't forgive you for turning your back on us and for what you did to Gaara. But no matter how hard I try, I can't hate you.

You're daughter, Temari
