After many years, Tomoyo had still looked like she did when she was ten.
The long, wavy lavender hair remained, and so did the eyes. She still
longed for Sakura since her crush never gave away. But now that Sakura was
with Syaoran, she felt disconnected from her. She'd give anything to have
her best friend back.
One day she decided to send her something. In her mind something wrote itself, and Tomoyo, not wasting a single letter, jotted it down on a pink and purple piece of paper as it continued. When she finished, she read it to herself, and just fell in love. She knew Sakura would just jump at the loveliness she just wrote.
Outside, it was a world of many colours. Pink, blue, green, gold, as it was spring in Tomoeda. Tomoyo went outside and took a long walk by herself to Sakura's, passing everything by. Her long hair rode on the warm spring air, amking her appear as some kind of a goddess of the earth. She looked about, seeing children and other couples enjoying the season like there was no tomorrow. She loved seeing them, but her heart wanted to spend the days with Sakura whom she loved so dearly.
She passed the white fences and cherry trees with cherry blossoms in full bloom. She smiled in the memories of the past springs spent with Sakura. Her hopes for seeing her best friend again rised and she felt happiness burst inside, she remembered what she said to her dear friend, "If you're happy, then I'm happy," and thought that Sakura must be having the time of her life with Syaoran.
So why wasn't she happy?
She stopped at Sakura's house and put the writing in the mailbox. She let out a content sigh and walked to the park.
On her way she saw Rika with Naoko and Chiharu talking, laughing like giddy schoolgirls. She just walked by without joining them. She kept walking until she saw a child holding a yellow rose. The child held it up to her with big, pleading eyes, wanting her to take it. Tomoyo smiled and took it, and walked away.
The rose was freshly cut and as yellow as a crisp, golden sky at daybreak. This would be perfect for Sakura, she thought. She continued striding along the park while memories came flooding back to her.
A nightingale was with its family on a bonsai tree, happily chirping and singing happy songs. They were golden with soundes as sweet as sugar and cakes.
But then, after sitting on a bench, staring at the cerulean sky, a young woman came to Tomoyo.
"Mind if I sit with you?" she asked.
Tomoyo looked up. She gasped.
"Sakura!" she smiled. "Yes, you can."
Sakura sat down with the envelope in her hand. She looked at Tomoyo with the greenest eyes that only belonged to her. She still had that welcoming glow.
"I went home and saw this in my mailbox," she said, opening it. "Thanks for giving it to me."
"Why don't you open it?" Tomoyo asked.
"I am."
When she opened it and read the writing, her eyes sparkled. She hugged Tomoyo tightly.
"Thanks, Tomoyo."
"I have another thing for you," Tomoyo said, handing her the yellow rose.
Sakura just hugged Tomoy again.
The day was a joyous one, now that Tomoyo got to see her best friend again.
And the writing of Tomoyo stayed in Sakura's heart forever. It went:
I think you're beautiful, I think you're cool, I think without you I'd be a fool
I'd love to know Where you are, I'll always admire you From afar
You may not know this, But it is true, My heart will always Belong to you
So come with me, Be my friend Because I'll always love you In the end
