Letting Go
SasuXSaku . . . This has been Sakura's dream (and the dream of many other fans) every since she first laid eyes on Sasuke.
"He's gone, Sakura. Why don't you get over it already?"
This is the question that has been going through her mind for some time now. Why can't she just get over him? Of course she doesn't want to expect the worst to happen but still two years and there hasn't been anything from him.
