I could slowly feel my heart dissever into a duo of grieving pieces as my eyes quickly scanned over the note once more, for what seemed like the infinite time on that deep moonlit night. Feeling my jade orbs build up with unhappy, wistful tears, my gaze shifted to the outer night, the moon staring back at me with its craters deep and gazing back at me with displeasing. The moon, although nonliving, had been staring at me cruelly that particular night. The reason that the moon seemed to be so dark and lifeless, and the craters so deep, was a reason that is better left unsaid, and better for you to embark on a journey to figure out. Because if I, right here and right now, tell you why, the whimpering in my voice would be more audible than the information.

However, because it helps express my emotions and feel a bit less wistful, I will inform you of the case. You see, the moon, a multitude of people have told me, represents the demeanor and inside of him, hence the phrase "moon seemed to be so dark and lifeless." The moon is quiet and only arrives in the night, which perfectly reflects upon everyone's opinion on...him. If I have displeased him, I must have displeased the moon. The gloomy, despairing moon described how everyone had felt in his presence, as opposed to their view on me. People of my village have complimented me for having much similarities to the sun, the bright, cheerful, enthusiastic sun. I had been corresponded to the bright yellow-orange star many times, for being energetic, happy, and fun to be around. Many of my peers have curiously asked me why someone as perky and upbeat as me would choose to be with someone who was so blunt and boring. My reply would always be, "Because I love him."

Fixating my eyes on the bed I formerly shared with him, I picked up the note previously mentioned and squeezed it into my angry right palm as I crawled inside of the covers and dug my face into his old pillow, the tears absorbing into it. Although he was gone, the aroma, the feeling, every sole thing about him was mentally there. The feeling of deserting and aloneness had completely taken over my mind, but sadly the deprived feeling of yearn for him was not mutual. Or, at least, I had thought it wasn't...

I gently unfolded the small piece of paper that was temporarily residing in my right hand, soon to be read by my emerald orbs. Rereading the note, the tears that has just left my orbs were making a reappearance.

Dearest Sakura,

I have willingly decided to permanently leave you and settle elsewhere. In this cruel world, something calls out to me. This calling is unbeknownst to me, however deep inside I simply know it is there. This decision to abandon you and all we share has been decided, and nothing you say or do can stop me.

Your husband,

Uchiha Sasuke

My eyes regained tears as they skimmed over the flowing script once more. The script's words filled me with turmoil...what could Sasuke have meant by the calling? In a way it somewhat frightened me, to think Sasuke had mentally received a calling from something or someone. Whatever this calling was, the most displeasing part of the situation was that he would abandon me, his own wife, for such a thing.

My eyes' tears diminished slightly as I took a glance at the picture sitting on my-fomerly our-nightstand. The picture showed Sasuke and I at our wedding reception, slow dancing to our wedding song, which was called "As Long As You're Mine." Each time I had heard the song since, I would smile naturally without forcing my mouth to curve upwards, and my heart would warm up. My mind would wander off into a neverending daydream about my husband, and the dream would never, ever cease, and the feeling of love would never die, and I would yearn to lay inside his arms forever, while he would never let go if the world depended on it. We two had been married for three years, and to think that Sasuke would leave me so suddenly would make my heart tremble and shake, and break into two pieces. Judging by the heartburn inside of me, I was filled with incredulity that he would actually desert me because of a certain "calling."

The world felt like it was breaking beneath me, that any second now it would fall down, me with it, and I would forever be in the sanctuary of Heaven. I could swear that any second the bed would crash down out of the Earth and I'd fall into a sleep that would last forever, my body never to return to Earth again as my soul would live in anguish despite being in the glorious world of the angels. If one could die of extreme emotional pain, I would definitely be gone by now.

Maybe the situation wouldn't be nearly as heartbreaking if I only had known if he still did, or ever did, love me.
