"Sakura this isn't like you."
I always find it amusing when people tell me it isn't like me. I am doing it, so not only is it like me, it is me. Though I didn't find it necessary to point this out.
Sakura snorted.
"Sakura, please."
Nothing.
"Please."
Another snort.
"Say something."
It wasn't like a grudge thing or something. It was that I didn't have anything to say.
"Okay."
I was done .It was time I had to move on. I needed to. But it hurt .It hurt to much to remember. But not enough to make me forget. Every day I waited. Not a day passed when I didn't want him to come back. But he's not here today. And he wont be here tomorrow. It's not going to happen. But if he comes back … I'm not sure what I'd do. Maybe I would take him back not even bothering to ask for an apology. Or maybe I'll do what I promised I'd do; never talk to him again. Everyday I consider going to find him but it'd never work; he will have to do it on his own. And even then could we trust him? Should we? Is there anything anyone could say to make up for what he's done? Yet for now I think to myself 'Move on, move on, move on' like a mantra in my head. So for now I set my sights for the one thing I can never truly accomplish: to move on. And while I act like it, talk like it, and even think like it: I am still the same, still the same. And the mantra that never stops yet never truly started. Please come back, please come back. Like my heart it never stops beating in my mind. Please come back. But back to reality.
"Yes!"
Please, come back.
"What?"
Please, come back.
"You talked for the first time in a year!"
Please, come back
"Yeah, I guess."
Please, come back.
"Sakura?"
Please, come back.
"Naruto?"
Please, come back.
"What made you talk?"
Please, come back.
"I realized that not only was I hurting other people, Naruto, I was hurting myself. And… also … I was … getting … more like…him…"
Please, come back.
"Sakura, I'm sorry"
Please, come back.
"For what?"
Please, come back.
" I don't know I'm just sorry."
Please, come back.
For the first time in a long time, Sakura laughed.
And then, nothing.
It was gone.
And while she knew it was not for forever, it was better than all the time.
