I walk the streets of Konoha. It's a nice, warm summer day and everyone is happy. All except me. Because this warmth doesn't reach me. My heart is cold. I cannot feel joy or anything else. I suppress all my feelings because they are too painful. And I've had enough of that. I've endured this pain for years. Because you always turned me away, Sasuke. I always tried hard in everything I did, but still you always told me coldly to my face that I was useless. Always in the way of others. I put up with this in the hope that someday you'd change your mind. But then you left. Just because. You just left your friends and me. And what for? Just to get more power so you could kill your brother. But didn't you become just like him? Is your friends just leaving for power ?! Isn't that just as disgusting? You even killed someone. Me.You killed me inside by just leaving me. Since that day I can't and don't want to feel anything. At first I tried to drive away the mental pain with the physical pain. I took a kunai and scratched your name on my arm. There were deep scars, not only on my skin, but also deep in my heart. Wounds arose that were so painful that I gave up feeling anything. It would have been pointless. Maybe if you had come back I would have succeeded, but you are not. So I've lived for years without showing a single emotion. Naruto and the others always try to cheer me up, but it doesn't work. I can only laugh with you. I can only cry with you. I can do everything only with you.
I just walk aimlessly through the streets. I see Naruto there. He comes up to me smiling and greets me, but I don't say anything, just nod.Also, I haven't spoken a word since you were gone. Because it was precisely these things, words, with which you always hurt me deeply. You always hurt me, but why did I love you? And why am I still doing it? It is a mystery to me. One that I'll probably never solve. "Sakura ..." says Naruto. I hear pity in his voice. But I don't want pity. I just go He's not trying to stop me either. He seems to understand me. I want to be alone. That's why I'm going home. Lie there in bed and stare at the ceiling. My room has changed. I cleared it up. Now there is only a bed and a table with a chair in it. It's empty just like me. How can one person have such an effect? You destroyed my life with just one choice. Again I wonder why I actually love you. Shouldn't I hate you after you did all this to me?
Suddenly the doorbell rings.With a heavy step I go and open it. Naruto stands in front of me. He's smiling, but I can see the worry in his eyes. I just want to close the door again and be alone, but he stops and just walks in. Well, it should be fine with me. He sat down on the sofa. "We have to talk," he says. I don't care because I won't say a word anyway. I sit down with him. "Sakura," he begins in a low voice, "you have to stop letting yourself go like this. I know that you suffer a lot from Sasuke's decision, but there is nothing we can do about it. We have to accept it." I know, that he's right, but i don't want to believe it. So I just silently shake my head. "Do you think you're the only one who misses him? Even if we were rivals, we were best friends. He was almost like a brother to me, even if it didn't always look like that." He already said it somewhat more annoying tone. I just shrug my shoulders.He seems to be getting angry. He snorts and says loudly: "Sakura, forget him at last!" But I can't. I love him and always will, even if I don't know why. Then I look him in the face. A tear runs down his cheek. In a hoarse voice he says, "I've already lost a good friend. Don't let me go through this again." Is he talking about me? "You have to face your feelings, Sakura." I don't feel like listening to that anymore. “Oh, what are feelings anyway?” I had talked. I had said something again for years. But they weren't the words Naruto wanted. “I don't need them.” Naruto, who had become much more serious since Sasuke left, realizes that there is no point in discussing it with me. He goes what is fine with me.
The next day I see a note on the kitchen table. It is folded up, but there is no name or anything on it. I go and open it.It says:

Sakura,
you asked what feelings are.
I will try to explain it to you.
Feelings are what make you human.
So never suppress them.
Because without feelings you are just an empty shell without a soul.
And that is exactly what you are.
It may sound tough, but we're friends.
And friends tell each other the truth.

Please Sakura, start laughing again. To live.
I, no, we all miss the old you
The one that always complained when we were late
that that always helped when it could and that,
that always tried hard in everything it did.
Please come back.

Naruto

I am touched by these words. I am touched? That's an emotion, isn't it? Has that simple letter blown away some of my grief? These few words? It seems so. And somehow it's good to feel something again. I choose to live again. To laugh and make my friends happy again.I get up resolutely and make my way to Naruto. He sees me and comes to meet me. He smiles and I do the same. Then I say, “I'm back.” At that moment I decide to start a new life. A new life without the one I'll always love Without Sasuke Uchiha ...
