From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in everything,
That heavy Saturn laughed and leaped with him,
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue,
Could make me any summer's story tell,
Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew.
Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
Yet seemed it winter still and, you away,
As with your shadow I with these did play.
~William Shakespeare, Sonnet 98
Prologue:
I stopped at the Sakura Tree- a sacred place that held onto the memories of us when we were still kids in the Gakuen Alice Academy. When we thought everything was going to be just fine and that we were going to be with each other forever. The first cut is the deepest, that's what everyone said. I didn't believe them; because I never would have thought that it would happen to me. I just had to learn it the hard way to understand.
"Mikan…" he called out softly. Those words I yearned to hear years ago slipped ever so softly into the cold, winter night air. Now, those words stabbed me again in the wounded heart, reopening it. He grabbed onto my sleeves. "Please, don't run away from me anymore."
I slowly turned to face the man I have once loved or may be still love, not daring to look him in the eyes. Because I know, if I were to look at him, I know I will fall madly in love with him again. Behind my bangs covered my sorrowful brown eyes that used to shine brightly and showed no fear. Don't Mikan, don't fall for his traps. This very man left your heart broken into pieces. This isn't the time to forgive. He was the reason you're like this!
"Don't touch me!" I yelled and forcefully slapped his hand away from mine. "You left me; I don't need your pity!"
"You've changed a lot Mikan…" He whispered.
"And so have you." I spat accusingly.
