What is love?
Her pov
Love, what is it? To him love is a sign of weakness and a waste of time. But my interpretation is the antithesis of his view. I see love as a source of strength and meaning of life. Why did I fall in love with someone who has no desire for love? Well, I guess, that it is one of the mysteries of love.
After he left, leaving me with only two words and its meaning haunts me still tio this day. Was this his way of saying he cares about me or even loves me? His memory haunts me incessant; there is not stop to the nightmares. The pain he gives me now has grown to a much greater strength. Now, I must move on with my life with all these burdens he left me with.
Why did things have to change? Even though I put up with his rejections and his cold heart, it was better to live with them than without. Somehow I cannot live without them. His smirks he would give his opponent before battle is imprinted in my mind. I always have admired his determination and commitment to become more powerful, but it slowly drove him away from us. He would do anything that would help him avenge his clan-his goal in life.
I saw him suffering from loneliness when I tried to heal his internal wounds with love, but he rejects that as well. Being apart from him and knowing I can't try to help him, kills me inside. All he ever needed was love which would be the panacea to all his wounds. Love can be burden but everything you gain from love is the greatest gift in life. Love is a cure. Now, he will only grow sicker with darkness and hurt the people he left behind. Sasuke, if you only know what love is.
His pov
Love what is it? To her love is everything life, happiness, and power. Her view is nothing like mine. To me love is a waste of energy and a fault. Why does she even care about me? I didn't ask for her to care and I will never fathom what love is to her. After I left her, all I could leave her with was a simply thank you. I guess that is how I could express my appreciation for everything she tried to do for me and in the back of my mind I know it meant something more.
Now she haunts me everywhere I go. I see her blissful smile always in my head and I can hear her cheerful laugh ringing in my ears. It pains me that I know I couldn't give her what she truly wanted. But life goes on and people must move on. Life changes and it was never going to stay like that forever. Remembering the thousands of rejections I gave to her was for her own good. I had to be cold to her so she wouldn't get to close to me and become hurt.
My goal is my first priority in life and I will do anything to achieve it. After the massacre, I was full of pain and guilt. Now I want my enemy to suffer like I did all my life. No one can help me with my suffering inside because they can never fathom how much I have suffered. If I opened up to her she could never stay strong because of the overwhelming amount of suffering I have been through.
Love is a poison. Nothing good comes from it and all it does is create more pains. All it is a burden and holds you down and drowns you. Strength and power only gets you through life not love. How foolish Sakura, only if she could understand. I can never love because my purpose is to be an avenger. I will admit that I do miss her, but I must put her aside and achieve my purpose in life.
