How can I give something that I've never had? You expect it from me, even beg for it! But I can't give it to you, I'm so sorry, you have no idea how much I would want to give it to you. But I just can't. But let it be known that you have made me feel something that is very different than the feelings I used to have. It makes me what I think is called "happy". And if that is the word, then I guess I do love you. And I would love to show you that feeling, but I can't get too close to anyone. It's just a rule. Let's just keep things the way they are for now.

Signed,

Garra

Garra put down the letter he had wrote, read it over then decided to add.

Goodbye my love, I will be back when I am more in control of me.

Upon reading what he just wrote Garra did something he hadn't done in a long time: he cried.

Hopefully she understands. Garra thought as one tear landed on the letter.

He folded it up in the scroll and put her special seal on it, took out his messenger bird and sent the bird on it's way. Afterwards he packed what he could carry and before he left he put a note on the door. At the entrance of the village, Garra turned around and said his goodbyes to Sunagakure, not sure if he would ever return home.
