"Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts"

Nadeshiko Festival. Tomoeda, Japan. Summer 2000.
"Syaoran-kun... even if you don't think a thing of me, I love you...! The one I love most is you, Syaoran-kun!" Sakura burst into tears. A little too late, aren't you?
Syaoran-kun said nothing, not meeting her gaze.
If possible, Sakura sobbed harder.
"I'm so sorry, Sakura, but…" he tried to apologize, which did nothing to console her.
Sakura hastily dried her tears, humiliated and regretful. Too late…"I understand," she said quietly.
"But we can still be friends, right?" Syaoran-kun offered with uncertainty and out of guilt.
"Of course we can." Sakura plastered a false smile on her face as inside her heart shattered.
Author's Note:
A long time ago, I tried to write a Tomoyo x Syaoran story, yet nothing I wrote seemed logical. I couldn't picture Syaoran or Tomoyo falling out of love with Sakura, and then falling in love with each other. On the show, they're merely close friends. Nothing really suggests a relationship between them other than friendship. So after watching a clip of the end of the second movie, I had an idea. What if Syaoran had lost his most important feeling--his love for Sakura? And so I began to write this.
