Pink hair blew in the wind while she made her way home from the hospital. She was now a full grown woman, Jonin and happy. Or not. Her steps became a bit unsteady when she made it to that street, she'd hated ever since "it" happened.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
Still waiting for him to return to her, to Naruto, to her friends. She missed him, she officially did. She grew stronger, though, she'd never been able to save him. To get him back. She failed, like she always did. She'd already failed in gaining his friendship, his heart. Him.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
Absently she stroked the uneven surface of the wall she was walking along. Soft sighs escaped her rosé coloured lips.
I walk alone
I walk alone
She held her arms around her small frame tightly, trying to warm her frozen body. She didn't like this silence but in a way she did. It reminded her of him.
I walk alone
I walk a...
And she was still alone.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
There was this funny feeling each time she stepped over those stones. Why couldn't she safe him from himself? Why did he leave while there was so much to gain here? They would have given him so much more worth living for. Love, life and a family. But she was alone now. Just her own heartbeat accompanied her. How she wanted him to return.
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
And it hurt.
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Trying to get her mind away from the ebony haired man, she exhaled briefly. A bitter smile made it's way to her lips. This street held so much memories and none at all. It was the last time she saw him care for something. Regret, she thought she'd seen inside his dark eyes. Or not?
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
What was life worth living if the person you truly love is not there? If he is someone you must be prepared to fight of if necessary? Her hands unconsciously found themselves in front of her chest, clenching her shirt where her heart was at, finding it beating. Slow beats, rhythmical beats. But something was missing. Something that should fill out that empty feeling.
I walk alone
I walk alone
And she was still walking in a slow pace. Like a funeral march.
I walk alone
I walk a...
Funeral for her broken heart.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
She'd never imagined how it'd feel if there was nothing to live for. Hinata had Naruto, Shikamaru had Ino, Neji had Tenten. What about her? Who had she? The hospital had her, as a medic. Her friends had her, as a friend. But there was that place where he should be at.
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
But that spot was empty.
I walk alone
I walk a...
She had reached her destiny. Sighing she sat down at the bench where he left her all those years ago.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
She watched the way she came from. Asking herself what was on his mind this day. Said day, when he left her on this cold bench she was now sitting on. Rubbing her hands together she tried to get warmer. Each year on the same day she'd be sitting here, waiting. For him to return. For him to recognize her. A noise made her jerk.
"Who's there?" her voice quivered, she tried to see through the dark.
"We're here and we're no going to leave you, ever. " a small smile made it's way on her face. A tissue was held in front of her. Just now she noticed that she'd been crying.
"How did you know I was here?" looking up she saw dark hair. She bit her lip to stop her trembling.
"You come here every year." she nodded her head, she understood. Slowly she stood up, gathering her things which she laid down at the bench beside her. An arm was wrapped around her, hugging her.
Sakura noticed that someone took her hand and lead them down the road towards their house.
"We'll be there for you. Forever, we're not going to leave. We'll be waiting for you until he comes, Forehead." She hit Ino on the head, making her yelp. "What was that for?" she shouted. Hinata started to chuckle. "I thought I told you to stop calling me that Piggy-chan." Tenten rolled her eyes at their childish behaviour, but laughed nonetheless. They laid their arms around each others and skipped down the road.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...
But Sakura couldn't deny the tiny feeling inside her that something was missing. He was missing. She knew she'd be walking alone. Until he returns. Until that empty spot is filled. She'd be waiting.

Crimson eyes starred at the bench. He came out of the trees he had hid behind and started walking down the road. Alone, as was she.
"Until next year…" were his thoughts.
Then, it became silent again. The street was like it had been on this cursed day. No one would ever guess a broken heart on those uneven stones or maybe even two?

The end.
Since today's my birthday (um, in 5 hours in America but where I come from it's already 12pm) and it's been weeks since I last updated, I decided to update this little oneshot. It's not much, it's not that great either but I hope you liked it.
Review please.
