It takes a couple seconds to say Hello, but forever to say Goodbye.

it kills me- I'm going to smile.

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of
separation.
Kahlil Gibran
Touching her lips later that night made Sai want to cry looking at her wedding finger to the two engagement rings hurt so much, Taichi her 'best friend' and her secret crush since childhood and his simple ring that he couldn't even present to her himself and then Li who was attentive, kind and caring who proposed only moments ago.
Looking about her bedroom Sai was confused I've always been in love with Tai and he's never even once sent a glace my way, not the way that he looks at Sora and then there's Li am I going to treat Li the way I've been treated by Tai? Thought Sai a little sadly as she shut her eyes tight and cried herself into a restless sleep.
"What?" asked Tai as he sat in his father's study at his family manor the next day
Sighing Tai's father, Kaoru who was into his early-mid forties rubbed his tired eyes before looking into his son's disbelieving brown ones
"I said you are not Saiyuri's only suitor as of a week ago I've heard what been going on Taichi Kamiya going after Sora who's engaged to your best friend Matt while your other best friend and fiancée is left alone. Saiyuri's father; Yuki and I felt this unfair to her and so when another suitor presented himself we allowed it and set it that Sai will have the choice to be with whomever she wishes" announced Kaoru as unknown to him the shock that Taichi showed was his actual relief of maybe not having to marry his friend anymore but deep down he was wondering who she'd pick
Thank goodness thought Tai as his father reprimanded him for his treatment of Sai as he noticed that he also felt insulted and a bit sad but why do I feel this way thought Tai
A week went by very awkwardly Sai was thoughtful on her decision and Tai was confused on his mixed emotions as both tended to avoid each other
"Li proposed" blurted Sai when she was alone with the girls later on that week
"WHAT?" asked the girls as Sai showed her ring finger
"Li proposed to me my father says he and Tai's father agreed it would be alright if I decided since they had heard we weren't getting along so well"
Kari watched Sai with hurt she had wanted Sai to marry Tai and become her sister but also because she knew the two belonged together was she being selfish now to want Sai to marry her brother if it wasn't something that made her happy any more
"So what will you do?" asked Michiko worried
"More importantly how do you feel about Jian?" asked Sora
"What about Tai?" asked Mimi
"I…I don't know" admitted Sai close to tears again
"I thought you were in love with Tai" said Kari sadly as Sai looked at her and felt pity
"I'm sorry Kari but it's not that simple and I'm sorry to say that you know that as well. Tai's never once looked at me the way he looks at Sora and I'm lonely I've loved him for so long I've missed out on so much all of you have dated except me, that's how long it's been, you've been in love, held hands with a guy, kissed his lips, gone on dates. I've been in love and so wrapped up in my love for Tai I haven't gotten that kind of attention and now along comes Li and he's looking at me and only me it fills me up with so much of the love, it makes me want to forget about Tai for once." Stressed Sai scared and confused
"Does that mean you pick Jian?" asked Kari
"No, but that doesn't mean I pick Tai either that man runs hot and cold with me so much sometimes I have to question if he's the girl" replied Sai not meaning to make a joke of it
"So who do you pick?" asked Sora confused
"I don't know" sobbed Sai as she buried her head into her hands
Graduation was coming up in another month and Sai knew that she should decide and tell the boys before they all went off for college the whole gang would see less of each other over the next four-five years.
Tai and Sai's relationship wasn't improving if anything it seemed as if Tai was happy while Sai still confused. Li came by and treated Sai like a princess making her feel loved and special while the more Li fell in love with Sai the more Sai felt that she noticed that no matter how much she enjoyed the attention and love she couldn't measure that up to the way she felt about Tai still, she thought about it and even though a few months back she had thought maybe she loved Li more than Tai but now as she spent more time with Li she noticed he treated her too cautiously as if she where antique vase and he scared he might break a precious item and how much she missed the banters she shared with Tai instead.
The boys gathered at the penthouse that Tai and Sai shared as the boys talked in the sitting room while Sai was out with the girls as they grew sad about their departures in a month.
"So has Sai decided yet?" asked Joe
"She hasn't said anything to me yet" said Tai
"What will you do if she chooses Jian?" asked Izzy
"What do I care if she chooses Jian, if she does then I won't have to marry her anymore and I'm free to do whatever I want I won't have to marry anyone I don't want to" smiled Tai happily
As Matt shook his head disappointed as he looked to see a bit of white cloth vanish around the corner as Matt recognized it as what Sai had worn out earlier as white spring dress
Standing up quickly Matt's eyes widened in sadness for her
"So you don't care if you lose her?" asked Matt angry
"What do you care Matt?" hissed Tai "why don't you go home to Sora the girl I'd give anything and everything to be with but here you are caring about Yu more than Sora what's your deal?" yelled Tai
"I worry for her, and I know Tai that you've already lost her" growled Matt
"What do you care" yelled Tai
"Because I loved her!" snarled Matt making Tai shut up finally
"What?" asked Tai
"It was a long time ago those days all I saw was her pain while you loved Sora I questioned what would have happened if I had met Sai all those years ago before you but that was so long ago I gave up loving Sai and I fell in love with Sora" admitted Matt
"Why did you give up if you hadn't me and Sora would have ended up together in the end"
"I had to because in the end the only person she could love was you Tai she still loves you but this was the last straw you've finally lost her" sighed Matt sadly
"It's not like I was in love with her to start" said Tai at a loss for words as it soaked into him
"But she was in love with you" pushed Matt
"Then why stick around and watch her get hurt why didn't you sweep her off her feet or something?" asked Tai
"Because she was my friend and I treasured her enough to let her go"
"Well what do you expect me to do lie to her and pretend I love her" growled Tai
"No but that doesn't mean you didn't grow to love her, but now you've lost her love and her friendship and her respect Tai and maybe even mine" said Matt as he walked out the door.
Going to Sai's door he leaned his head against it and knocked calling softly for her
"Go away" cried Sai as Matt opened the door and grabbed her and hugged her tightly
"I'm sorry" said Matt as Sai buried her head into his shoulder and cried letting the pain and anguish wash away her tears her mind was made up and her heart broken in a million pieces
Graduation was here sadly enough the gang was all assembled and ready for the farewell dance
The boys again dressed well in tuxes and where talking happily about going to university together while Matt stayed away from Tai and the girls were nowhere to be seen
"Here you guys are" called a voice as the boys saw it was Kari dressed wore a pink ruffle-edged chiffon dress that began at a strapless bodice and flowed down to create a skirt. While a slender golden tone belt wrapped around her waistline.
"I can't believe you graduated" said Kari sadly as Tk smiled going over to his bride-to-be
"It's going to be weird not seeing you in school" said Tk
"And lonely while you girls go off for college elsewhere" added Joe as he went to stand next to Mimi and the others did as well as Tai looked around to see Sai across the room hugging friends good bye she looked beautiful in her floor length pale white ball gown with sapphire colored edging as her hair held unnatural blue flowers in it she wore sapphires, blue make up and a light peach on her lips.
Catching Tai's eye later that night almost at the end of the night Sai made her way
"May I have this dance?" asked Tai trying to be cheerful as Sai nodded
When the dance was through Tai opened his mouth to say something when Sai stopped him
"Don't call me Yu" she said sadly as tears welled up in her eyes as she kissed his cheek
"This is good-bye, forever Taichi Kamiya" said Sai as he handed him something and walked away with her head held high
Tai watched her go with a feeling that he couldn't describe as she disappeared out the door Tai looked into his hand to see that what she had given him was her engagement ring back
"So she didn't choose me after all" said Tai sadly.
End
Well there's a rewrite being done and also a what if a short story about if Matt hadn't given up on Sai and things were a little different...
