SasuSaku fanfic. Hey people. This is my first, ever fanfic. I was bored, and this song I was listening to inspired me to write this little buddy. It's written from Sakura's point of view. Hehe. It's a bit of a ramble, but I hope you guys enjoy it! Remember to review afterwards. I would gladly appreciate it. ^^ Song: Beautiful Thing by Orange Pekoe.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. -_- That's why I'm writing this story right now.

Beautiful Thing

Once in our lives, we will have to let something go.

Something dear to us, something precious. Something that when lost, will only leave you in a crumbling heap.

Leaving you

Leaving you

Leaving you..

The sun becomes obscured by thick, grey clouds, and the light no longer shines upon you. It is distant…long gone into the far place of memories.

Memories dear to you.

Or were they?

So blurry, so vague they are. Glimpses and tiny snitches.

Happy faces. A vibrant array of colours…yellow, blue, pink. A perfect combination.

Blindingly sharp, yet perfect.

Loud, yet gentle.

Stubborn, yet ever changing.

Strong, yet fragile…

-Gasp!-

No! No! No!

Pain, pain, go away!

-A silent, dark night

No!

-Leaves rustling along with the breeze

No!

-The trees beholding strange whispers; foreshadowing a building confrontation

No!

-A lone figure, walking purposefully with long, calm strides

No!

-Sharp, red eyes glowing through a mist of obsidian

No!

-Black is confronted with a startling pink

No! No! No!

-Anxious, emerald eyes plead to the blank, onyx ones

Stop it!

-Tears stream down the pink head, and a fountain of confessions mixed within unpromising lies pour out

Stop it! Please!

-The boy's grave eyes regard hers with a dull expression. For a second, his eyes flash with a new and unreadable emotion. Pain? Uncertainty?

No….stop it….please…..

-He walks on, ignoring her presence. Footsteps pace evenly once more, and she turns around with a newfound surge of determination.

!!!

-Silence. The outburst of that one phrase hangs in the air; wavering and struggling to gain balance. He stops, and she hopes.

-A quick movement. He disappears. Her eyes widen, and they look around feverishly, searching for any hint of deep blue mixed with the dark night.

Please….

-With a gasp, she feels him behind her, his presence deadly yet overpowering. She waits, her figure tensed and heart beating with a numbing speed. Sweat covers her face in a thick sheen, and her green eyes jump around with an agitated rhythm.

no more…

-The trees rustle their leaves, and two words are spoken. She freezes, and her heart stops. Suddenly, there's a sharp pain, and her world goes dark.

She's sinking

Sinking

Sinking

Into an ocean of black; her body limp and lifeless.

Sinking…

Forever.

No one's going to save her. No one. Ever.

Not even if they try. Because she won't budge. Because she won't try.

She wants to sink, deeper, further…as long as the ocean is vast, never ending….

Enveloped in a silent bliss.

A black, heavy bliss.

No more…I've tried my hardest…no more…ever again

The door shuts, and a quiet, inaudible click is heard.

There. Safe and sound.

Yes…no more…never again…

It locks within it a searing, ice-hot pain. Burning away with a numbing throb.

Along with it a quiet memory, and echoes of distant ones filled with sunshine.

Quietly, three words repeated, over and over again. A noiseless struggle.

"I love you."

What a beautiful thing it is.
