This came to me while I was thinking aboult my own (nonexistent) love life. I'm not the kind of person that can write, but I can spell, thankfully.

Her heart was tethered to his.

THey called it a crush-they think she didn't know that?

They told her to shake it off-they think she hadn't tried?

He was gone-after calling her a dark weirdo.

Gone for three years.

She continued to pine over him, not knowing if they still had something in common.

And that is the reason she cannot let go.

How could she chase other men

while she lusted after him?

It was disloyal, really

It was onesided, this tether. She knew that very well.

He would not find her interesting enough.

But he was very, very, interesting.

She wished he didn't mean so much.

It would be better if they never met.

And what if, on his return, she became even more attached?

What if they had something in common?

But she had to take a chance.

Other men were waiting.

She wished he were gone.

Come home soon, Naruto.
