Think Of Me

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto...SADLY...

---

Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me, you'll try

Its been eight years, Naruto-kun. Do I still cross your mind? You still cross mine everyday.

Then you'll find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you'll ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me

Have you been well? I've been good. I moved to America, I heard your the Hokage now, I always knew you would be the Rokudaime. No one is more fit than you, and I know you will be the best Hokage yet.

We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me

I remember the day we first met. Your laugh was absolutely entrancing, and your love of ramen was endearing. We became fast friends, do you still remember?

Think of all the things
We've shared and seen
Don't think about the way
Things might have been

I always loved you, Naruto-kun. Even though I never told you, I always have. All those late nights, watching movies, eating ramen, late night training, do you remember?

Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind

Walking away that day was the hardest decision of my life. Naruto-kun, do you think well of me? I try so hard to keep you out of my head, but your smile will always haunt me. I can never forget you, even if you have forgotten me.

Recall those days, look back on all those times
Think of those things we'll never do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of you

I could never truly throw you form my mind. You've always been apart of my life. I remember that day like it was yesterday, do you? Naruto-kun, when you see me, what will you do?

Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
But I remember her

Hinata-chan, it's been eight years, are you well? Are you alive? I remember you, your smile and laugh, you always believed in me. You saved me from myself so many times. I'm forever grateful. But why, why did you leave me?

Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They have their seasons, so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think of me

No matter, I always hope you are well, Hinata-chan. I'm Hokage now, when I look out over the village, I know you'd be most proud of me. The proud failure succeeded.

Hinata-chan, please think of me often. I never got to tell you, how much I grew to truly love you.

He stared out his office window, like always, gazing at the Hokage monument, always looking at his father, the fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato. He loved this village with his whole heart, and would protect it with his life. But even though he had accomplished his dream, he still felt empty without her.

She had left a letter. One he had read thousands of times, over and over, memorizing each and ever word, and every pen stroke, showing very poised and neat handwriting.

She didn't say where she was going or what for, but he knew someday she would return, and he would finally set things right and voice his true feelings for her. He had so much hope, one day, one day she will come back.

But for now, he would wait, wait for her return, so that he could finally hold her in his arms and never ever let her go.

'Please don't forget me, Hinata-chan.'

Hinata stared out of her hospital room window, looking over at the ocean and the couples walking on the beach. She envied them.

'I'm almost done with treatment, Naruto-kun. I did this to get better, please don't be lonely.'

Hinata was diagnosed with an illness when she was younger, and she had been sent to America to be treated. She didn't want anyone to worry, especially Naruto, so she left without a sound.

She anxiously awaited the day she could return to Konoha, to her friends and love interest. She dreamed of it almost everyday.

'Please don't forget me, Naruto-kun.'
