From the Diary of Tenten

Numbness

Unbelievable

All of the people crying on

His behalf

Yet here I am

Numb

Can I truly say that I was his friend?

Or merely two people who shared the

Same occupational interests?

Did I truly know Uzumaki Naruto?

I can only wish that I did.

We lived our lives despite the fact that

We were puppets, our strings ready to be

Cut without a moment's notice or a second though

"Live every moment as your last"

we were told

but just because we were told doesn't

mean we listened.

But now he's gone.

And I know that I should be grieving

But I can only feel numbness.

Overwhelming.

Suffocating.

But I should be crying.

Like the rest of them.

But I can't

And I only wish

That I didn't

Feel so

Numb.
