Waiting for the Past

"Sasuke-kun, will you go out with me?"

I was so full of hope…

"No."

…But you could always bring me down.

"Sasuke-kun, why don't we train together?"

I stopped being a fan and tried to be your friend…

"You're too weak."

…But you destroyed my attempts at friendship before they started.

"I love you so much!"

I laid my heart open for you…

"You really are annoying."

…But you shattered it like glass.

"Why?"

I didn't understand…

"You're holding me back."

…But you made it painfully clear.

"SASUKE!"

I never forgot you…

"I don't need your help!"

…But you tried to leave me behind.

"Sakura-chan lets go and get some ramen!"

Naruto…

"H-Hello, Sakura-san."

…Hinata…

"Forehead girl!"

…Ino…

"Go away."

I pushed them all away.

"You're weak."

You made me so.

"You're pathetic."

I believed you.

"Thank you."

Two words…

"Sasuke…-kun…"

…That's all it took…

"I don't need protecting."

…To make me cold…

"What happened to you Sakura-chan?"

…To make me heartless…

"When will you just give up, your weak."

…To make me…

"You're just like him!"

…You.

"Why do you try to forget your past?"

Because of him.

"Why do you always put yourself down?"

Because of you.

"Mission complete Tsunade-sama."

We got you back.

"The Uchiha boy passed away from his injuries."

We lost you again.

"Are you coming to the funeral Sakura-chan?"

I didn't want to let you go.

"No."

I didn't want you to be gone.

"Sakura-chan…"

Naruto's gone.

"Fore…head…"

Ino's gone.

"I'm sorry Sakura…-san. I couldn't… save…"

Hinata's gone.

"Why do you live in the shadows?"

Because I'm alone.

"Why are you always by yourself?"

Because I'm afraid…

"Kakashi's dead."

I'm Afraid to loose someone else.

"Sakura-chan!"

"Forehead girl!"

"S-Sakura-san."

"Sakura."

I'm afraid to love…

…I don't want to suffer any more pain.

"The fifth Hokage passed away."

But I cannot escape….

"Rock Lee died a ninja's…."

…Death.

"How?"

Sasuke. Naruto. Kakashi. Ino. Hinata. Lee.

"He was protecting the Haruno girl."

I will not cry for you.

"My life is empty."

I will not live in vain of your sacrifice.

"Haruno Sakura, congratulations, you are now ANBU."

I will live on.

"You're top medic in the village Sakura-sama!"

I will remember your lives.

"Your friends all… died?"

Not your deaths.

"My friends once lived."

But…

"I'm sorry."

…At the same time…

"For what?"

…I will forget.

"I'm sorry for your loss."

"I'm over it."

I will not wait for the past.
