Dear Naruto...

...Uhm, hi, Naruto... I'm sure you weren't expecting to get a letter from me, but that's okay, I guess...The truth is, uhm, I've been trying to say this in person to you for a long time...But I've just gotten nervous and passed out...sorry.

Well, the truth is that, well, I've kinda had a crush on you for a while now...Oh no, now I'm blushing...but I noticed you hanging around Sakura, and I know you really like her...and...I guess what I'm trying to say is that if she's the one that makes you happy, I'd be okay with that. I just feel like I need to tell you how I feel after all this time just holding it in...it's what you'd do...you'd be open about your feelings. If you don't want to, you don't have to respond to this letter, I won't be hurt that much.

I've seen you be alone, to start from nothing and to rise, to climb your way to acceptance... I was always below those in my family, so even though I was always fascinated by you, I was too afraid to actually approach you...the sad part is that I doubt my situation would have stopped you, if you were in it...so I'm sorry.

You were always alone, because everyone feared you. You were looked down upon, and so was I, but in a different way. Seeing you overcome it and still go after Sakura the way you did inspired me to write this letter-even a shy girl like me can speak her mind, because of you. So, thanks I guess...

You were always pushing yourself-even now, you try to go after Sasuke, even though it looks hopeless to many of us in the village. But I can't doubt you! With all you've accomplished through everyone's greatest doubts in you, how could they ever doubt again?! Seeing you train so hard, getting up and trying again and again inspired me to do the same...finally I feel I can be someone to my family, if I put my mind to it.

You made friends with the most admired guy in school, the one who called you a loser. You got your dream girl to believe in you, just being on the same squad as her.

I hope Sakura will see what I see in you, for your sake. You deserve her, after all the work you've done trying to please her...and it worked out for you, for the most part.

I see you as my light through the dark, the one who has guided me through all these years, the one who isn't aware of how he keeps me going...Naruto, I'm in love with you...and yet, all I can think of to say is...

Thanks.

A/N: Next chapter I'll be doing Naruto to Sakura, then Sakura back to Sasuke. I hope you're enjoying this so far.. if you have any ideas, any concerns or confusions, give me a review! I'll be happy to respond. I might do an Itachi letter to Sasuke *SPOILER ALERT * that took place before he was killed *END SPOILER ALERT* If you like that idea, again, review! Thanks again :)
