Reminiscence
Ever since I met you, your eyes have captured my heart. Though you never spoke much, I knew you were troubled inside that's why I left you alone most of the time. It hurt me not knowing what was wrong with you and it hurt me much more that I can't help you out. We developed a relationship, though it wasn't the relationship I hoped for. I helped you improve your heavenly spin; you helped me improve my accuracy...
We always stuck together and we easily passed the first two parts of the Chunnin exams. Although I wasn't there for your fight with Hinata-san, I knew you would win. Your determination is something I look up to. The fierce look in your eyes is something I envy. I could never have as much strength as you. I was so happy you chose me to help you prepare with your fight against Naruto. I gave it my best but I felt it was my fault you lost to him. Your failure was due to my weakness...I'm not strong enough to compete with you...
I now understand why you are so distant...after all you've gone through, I can't understand how you can live...
You left me without saying goodbye, and I wish I could be there at your side to protect you. A feeling that I have inside tells me something's wrong with you and I feel helpless...
When we first met, you had no chance of making it. I was amazed you even made it to Gennin with no skills. You couldn't do simple Ninjutsus and Genjutsus but you always tried to beat the genius of our group. I would yell at you for challenging him and tell you to give up but you pushed on...
You worked yourself to the core and perfected the Lotus; the move even Neji couldn't master. I heard your conversation with Gai-sensei and I believe him. Though you aren't a true genius, you are a genius at hard work...I heard you got beaten by Gaara and yet you still pursue your dreams. I wish I have your optimisim. I went to visit you a few days back, but you had left to help the others. I was crushed. You and Neji, my teammates and my friends...are both gone. I could help by cry. I don't want harm to befall either you but I'm rendered helpless. Gai-sensei instructed me not to follow him and Godaime-sama but I want to just to make sure you and Neji are alright.
Lee... Neji...
Please be all right...Please come back to me safely...
