This was just a little idea I got when looking up songs for missing a boyfriend. I realized that Tsunade, Kurenai, and Sakura had one thing in common: they all lost their loves.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
She sat there, thinking about how little time they had had together. She had watched her little one sleeping in his bed and automatically thought of how much he resembled his father. They had the same beautiful brown eyes, dark hair, and face full of confidence.
Asuma was gone, Kurenai realized that, he wouldn't return. Their son was the only remnant of him, but he would never replace Asuma. Not even Kakashi could brighten her day when she started thinking about Asuma. She began crying, as she usually did when the memories hit her. There would never be another man like him, one who understood her and cared as deeply as he did for her.
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Sakura recalled all the times he had called her annoying and useless. Those words had stung her so many times she seemed to be immune to them but on the inside her heart was crying in agony. Every time Sasuke had said those words Sakura would take a brutal stab to the heart, as if she were being sacrificed slowly by each of Sasuke's insults.
He had left her so many times, after it all began with the one by the bench. Sasuke had eventually returned to Konoha, was punished sparingly, and had become a skilled shinobi. Everything turned to pink and red hearts for Sakura when he had asked her to be his girlfriend. But all of her gifts, words of love, and overall happiness could do nothing to stop him from leaving again. All her efforts were wasted on a hopeless cause.
He would never love her, that was the only sure fact Sakura could stand on now.
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Tsunade tumbled in her bed countless times before deciding to go to her office. She settled down in her large chair and began sorting through missions and papers she had to sign. She needed to sleep but the dreams she had been having kept her awake nearly all night. Dan. Dan kept popping up in her dreams, seemed so close and beckoning for her to follow him to a midnight excursion to a romantic hilltop or a candlelit dinner with dancing to slow jazz. But when she reached out for him, everything became white and he dissolved into nothingness.
Jiraiya had urged her leave her duties for just a bit and have some fun, but she had taken her job too seriously. She hadn't minded Jiraiya's constant bugging, but she felt as if he wasn't the right one for her. She had kept him on a string and now he was gone also. She had lost many important men in her life and now they called to her in her sleep, still begging her to join them and relax. But now she could not, now she felt as if she had an even greater duty to Konoha, and with that she kept working all day and all night, hoping to relieve herself of some of the pain.
Now that she was all alone, she didn't believe she would ever be the same, she would thrive, yes, but as a shell of the love-filled woman she once was.
All three of them longed for the day they would be free, free to see their loved ones again, free to talk to them of why things didn't work out, and free to hug them, love them, and apologize to them.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
