Naruto Chapter 498 - Mom’s Red Hair

You don’t realize how precious something was until you’ve lost it. Like foolish living beings that humans are, I believed that he’d always be there when I turned around.

Perhaps I only wanted to believe in his smile, the ‘it’s okay’s he whispered to me. I blocked out all the sad smiles he gave me, the little droop of his shoulders as I disappointed him again and again, the tear-filled eyes that refused to let the tears drop.

Yes. I would have continued to live, oblivious to his pains, if he had not left me. ☁

"If I do return, what is there left for me?"

"How could you possibly understand, when you were alone from the start?!"

That’s okay.  As long as we’re together once in awhile.
