L.O.V.E.
L.
I fell in love once. A pure, child - like love. At the time, it seemed stronger than anything else. It threatened to overwhelm me, to overpower all of my other bonds.
O.
I don't think that he knew. In fact, I'm sure he didn't realize how much I cared for him - not until that night anyway. He simply saw me as he did all the rest. Why should he have done otherwise?
V.
He's gone now. I won't be so selfish as to say that he left me. He would probably say that he just left - not me, not us, not here. He'd say that he did what he had to.
E.
My love for him hasn't died. To tell the truth, it's evolved. Now it is what drives me to become stronger. Why, you ask? Because for the first time, he was wrong.
He is wrong if he thinks that we will just stand by and let him give himself over to the darkness.
My love will be his light - it will bring him back. We will bring him back.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
A/N: I initially saw Sakura as just another annoying fan girl in Part 1 of Naruto but the night that Sasuke left, when she said that she'd go with him, that really opened my eyes. I know that in Part 2, her feelings seemed to have changed but I don't care - I wanted to write this anyway.
