"I can't let you go…" He whispered.

"I'm not asking you to, I'm asking you to move on." She said.


It had been years since he last saw her. He missed her so much, he still couldn't find room in his heart to find another.

His life felt like a lie, every day he would lie to himself and say that she might come back to him…but she wouldn't. She was gone and she wasn't coming back no matter how miserable he was.


It was a day just like any other, he was in the market getting dinner supplies when a woman politely said hello. He smiled and said hello back.


It was his 4 year anniversary, he was getting some chocolates and flowers for his girlfriend. He still missed her but he figured this was a way to miss her less.


Today was his wedding day, his fiancé has the engagement ring on her finger that he had bought in hopes of her, but he was wrong. He used it, otherwise it would've been a waste of perfectly good money.


Today he was in the hospital, his wife was giving birth to their 2nd child. Akina, their 3 year old, was sitting in the chair beside him playing with her toys. He couldn't help but wonder what their children would've looked like. Would they have her eyes? Have his nose? He could only wonder…


Akina and her brother Ryu, were coming home for the holidays. He stood in the kitchen with his wife, thinking what she would've made. The house would've smelled like turkey and biscuits. A candle would be on the counter top, its flame like their passion. The families would be talking and laughing about embarrassing stories. It would've been perfect…not like this.


Today was Ryu's wedding, his youngest was getting married. He was so happy for him, or at least as happy as a dying man can be…


He was at the hospital again, Akina was having their second grandchild, Ryu and his wife had had the first. They all heard screams and then crying. A doctor came out and told him that it was a beautiful baby girl…he may have cried but they were tears filled with agony.


He now stood beside the grave…

Uchiha Kiyoshi

A mother, wife and daughter

We love you

…is it wrong to feel no pain?


He was sitting in his room, looking at all burned memories. They stood happy and proud in front of their house. She was laughing at him and his eyes were filled with happiness…even now they were just pieces of paper in a box.


He was sitting in a hospital bed, he was just told the news that he was dying from an old war wound. His children and grandchildren were sitting beside him, some crying and some reassuring him that he would be okay…he didn't believe them.


His children cried with agony, the grandchildren trying to help their parents.

Uchiha Sasuke

Husband and Father

He still held on

We love you

Now he could find some sort of twisted peace.


It had been more than 15 years and he was still looking for a purpose even in death.

"Sasuke."

He turned.

"Sakura." He started to cry

"Why didn't you come find me before this!?" He begged.

"I had to make sure you forgave yourself…you have." She smiled.

She put her hands out towards him.

Let's go home."

He placed his hands with hers…and the heavens cried tears of joy.
