Hello Readers!

Wow, I am back sooooo soon!…

Well, that is what you get for great ole summer vacation!

Now, about the story.

Before you start reading, I want to tell you, that this is just a preface, so don't panic about the length. Chapters will definitely be much longer. Personally, I like the idea of the story. Hope you will find it interesting as well.

Here's the brief summary:

Sakura and Sasuke have been married for 8 years. However, Sasuke only married her, so that he could restore his clan. On one of the missions Sakura is injured and has a near-death experience. This makes Sasuke realize just how stupid he had been.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto (starts crying)

Enjoy!

PREFACE

Death is easy. Life is a war. That I have learned for sure. The blood that drips down along the path I walk on is inevitable and uncountable. This blood, it just marks my life crimson.

I am sick. This I know for certain. And no, not physically. To my great misfortune I am in quite a well physical condition. It is my mentality, my sanity that has been damaged.

They say, that life is all about ups and downs. But call me a pessimist and I will still tell you, that I haven't seen happiness for the last ten years. The only time I have ever felt something close to it, was five years ago, when my sister had her happy ending with a man she loved with all her heart. Unfortunately, the feeling lasted for mere seconds.

I am selfish. I assume so. I have broken hearts of so many people. But, everyday I ask myself. Would it be fair, to use somebody just to fade the memories of him? For, I am aware that, he will never vanish in my mind. How could he? He is my husband after all.

I am sentenced to this. Every time I close my eyes there is a vision of him. Every night I dream of him. Every day I look through his photos. Every night, I pray for him. Every night, when he does not come home, I clutch his picture close to my heart.

I have insomnia. I never sleep. The only times I do is, when I cry myself to it.

I am insane. Because, the only brink to sanity I have ever had does not even care whether I am alive or dead.

Oh, how I have fallen. I don't know who I am anymore.

I hurt people.

But despite my desperation, do you know what the worst part is?

Awareness.

It strings my very being. Making my soul explode into million tiny pieces.

I know of my every fault, and I still do the same.

Never believe the ones who say, that people change.

Because, my confidence in the statement has brought me to my present condition.

Don't get me wrong I do not regret my life choices.

I have been independent for a long time now.

If I think, the only person I had ever been dependent on was him. It never did change with time.

Just like my personality. How ironic.

So I was saying, that I was very aware of the consequences, when said 'I do' all those years ago.

Even if my life has been a tale of misery and failure for years, I cherish every moment I have had with him.

And you know why?

Because, I love him.

He had always been the one. No matter how cheesy that sounds, it is just the truth I can never turn my back on.

My only reason for not taking my life are my children - Ami, Lily and Itachi.

I think there is enough said about me.

Oh, almost forgot.

Hello, my name is Sakura Uchiha.

That's all for now.

I'll update ASAP

Read & Review Pleeeeease!
