Chapter THIRTEEN Sakura's POV
Things haven't been the same since that day. His feelings for her haven't faded and he can still find a natural smile when we talk. But all in all, I can see the change. He dreams of her, I think, and sometimes I find myself jelous. Not because she's on his mind and she's locked herself inside his heart, but that she was such a remarkable person. I hadn't known her as well as I thought, and he rarely spoke of her in any of our time together. I envy her strenght in some ways. Though he reminds me that I am me and that in itself is beautiful enough. I am what he wants me to be without having to change myself to fit those needs.
But on those nights when he can't escape all she was for him and all she was able to change for him, I watch him from a distance. He chooses usually to sit in an open windowsill, despite that it's usually raining on these days. He smokes quietly, making a silent offering in her name. Because deep down, I know in my heart he'll always love her...
there will be a sequel
