You don't have to forgive me

Sasuke, you really don't have to forgive me. Really.
I'm not saying this because I believe I did nothing wrong, far from it. It's just that I accepted the consequences of my actions, recognized my failures and conformed to the path I chose. I embraced all the ghosts and demons that came together from my decision.
I'm telling you that you don't have to forgive me because you're still hurting because of me.
You still think of possibilities; reflects on what you, I, the Village or anyone could have done or said so nothing had happened. You force your mind to work on things that wouldn't work. You blame yourself for decisions that had nothing to do with you.
Sasuke, things don't work that way.
Believe me when I say that what is done is done and that it is not worth thinking about a possibility that does not exist and that will never exist. You must live, foolish little brother. Live and be happy to make it all worthwhile. Live fully so that I can rest in peace.
Be free, Sasuke.
Free yourself from the weight our surname has. Free yourself from the pain, the shame, the emptiness and the guilt that I forced you to carry. The massacre of our clan has many culprits, but you are not one of them. You were used and manipulated - including by me - so that the situation was not seen in an even more tragic way, and I'm sorry for that.
That is why from the bottom of my heart I tell you:
You do not have to forgive me.
A/N: Well, this is the first time that i'm posting a story in English, so please understand any mistake you may encounter. I'm still trying to get comfortable with writing in another language that's not my native language lol
I hope you enjoyed the story.
