Chapter 3: Gaara x Lee

Gaara's POV:

I feel nothing. I am like sand – it is unbreakable, damaging, and unfeeling. Sand does not feel sorry for crushing your arm and leg. Sand does not feel anything.

Lee, though, is not like sand. Lee is nowhere near sand. Lee is passionate, and he is able to feel. His passion is something I strive for, but am never able to reach. After all, sand is cold. Lee is able to feel both ends of the emotional spectrum, but I cannot.

I do know what I could be feeling. What I should be feeling.

What Lee feels.

What Lee feels when we hug, when we touch, when we kiss, when we watch the sunrise or the clouds or even ducks in a pond. I know what those feelings should be like, but I cannot feel them.

But I have come to realize that it doesn't matter, because when I am doing these things with Lee, Lee feels enough for me to feel, as well.
