Dear Sasuke,
You won't get this letter, because I'm writing it inside a small, secret room of my heart, where no one but me can enter. Not really cool, huh? To have a room where I spill my most deepest, insignificant feelings for you, and there's not the slightest possibility anyone will ever find out. But I can't help it. This is the only way to cope with your absence.
As I write this I sit at the edge of the bordering river between our village and foreign land. Why, you ask? I'm on a mission with our team, escorting an "important officer" of the Sand. Sasuke, this guy's a complete quack. You probably would have seen through his pompous facade the minute you met him.
It's not the same being on this team without you. Sakura-chan misses you. I heard from Ino once that she still cries for you, and prays for you, and wishes for you to come back.
She still loves you, y'know?
Kakashi-sensei misses you too, even though it's hard to describe, he sometimes gets this empty look in his eyes when he watches Sakura and I training.
I think it's times like that when he thinks of you.
Me? I think of you always.
Not a moment passes throughout the day that you aren't somewhere in my head. All the time, I ask myself the same questions, Where's Sasuke now? What's he doing? Is he alright?
All these questions are impossible to answer of course. But we haven't seen each other in so long that it's hard not to wonder.
I miss you. You're making so many people feel so much pain and sadness at the cost of your pointless vengeful blood-lust.
You selfish bastard.
Why can't you just come back?
I'll tell you what. I promise I won't be so annoying.
I'll lay off the insults.
I won't get in Sakura-chan's way, and you guys can fall in love and be a normal couple.
Even if that makes me so sad I'll probably wish for death every morning and night.
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not giving up on you. I will bring you back. No matter what.
Believe it.
Believe it.
Believe…
I still believe you know that what you're doing isn't what you really want. I know this is true, because I know you.
I know that you've been suffering for almost as long as you could remember.
I know you would do everything over again, if you could.
I know you love Sakura-chan.
I know you'll never love me.
And even if you don't love me, that's ok as long as you're still within my sight, happy.
Because that's how I've always wanted to see you: smiling.
Not the jerk smirk that you would direct at me, I mean a genuine smile that showed how truly content you were, right in the village, where you belong.
You think you have no place in this world unless you become a "true avenger".
You're wrong. So wrong.
You were a member of the Konoha village; an important part of Team 7. Talented student of Iruka and Kakashi-sensei. My rival, and motivation to become great.
If that's not a place, then I'm not sure what is.
If, somehow, you hear this desperate cry from wherever you may be now. Take heed and leave all you've done behind.
Come back, you have a place here.
Come back, you're friends miss you.
Dear Sasuke.
Come back.
