She'd Never Know

She'd never know how much it pained him to say those things.

"You're annoying"

"Weakling"

"Pathetic"

She'd never know what he really meant when he said (thank you).

"Thank you for being there… for loving me for who I am…"

He had wanted to praise her.

"Go Sasuke-kun!"

"You're amazing Sasuke-kun!"

To tell her how much she meant to him…

"I love you with all my heart!"

But, it all came out wrong.

"Annoying"

"Weak"

"Pathetic"

He hadn't meant to harm her.

He hadn't meant to break her heart.

He wished he could forget all about him (Itachi).

"I am an avenger…"

But he couldn't.

He had finished his first goal.

"To kill a certain someone"

And now… staring into Deaths eyes… he would never finish the second one.

"And rebuild my clan"

There would be no green-eyed Uchihas.

There would be no 50th anniversary.

There would be no wedding.

"Annoying"

"Weak"

"Pathetic"

She'd never know the most important thing.

She'd never know how he felt.

She'd never know what his last words were.

"I love you… Sakura…"

She'd never know…
