Sorry, that I have not updated this in a very long time. I did not mean to forget about this fanfic. Bitter chapter. Please don't flame…. The song is Cry by Mandy Moore from The Walk To Remember CD. Also beware choppy chapter!

Oh, also I changed the title, because Learning How To Love didn't fit to well…

I don't own any of the songs used in this fanfic. So please don't sue.

Learning Love's Melody

Once Called Learning How To Love

"Talking"

(Me Talking)

"Those two are perfect for each other," Tomoyo said sighing at the beautiful melody being played from the soft piano.

Eriol only nodded, "They will make a beautiful married couple."

"I'm not sure about that, Eriol. It's too early for them… they are being rushed. It isn't like our relationship… we had so much time."

"I understand that, Tomoyo. But they have no choice."

Tomoyo's azure eyes dulled slightly, "You and I both know that Sakura, will run."

Eriol nodded softly, "Yeah! And Syaoran will let her go."

"This is heart breaking… and it's happening right before our eyes. I wish that this wouldn't have to turn out this way," she sighed once again, while resting her head on Eriol's shoulder glancing at the two young lovers.

"They will meet again. I am sure of that… don't give up hope, Tomoyo."

"They are such a perfect couple."

"They maybe perfect for each other but things and circumstances don't always allow for perfect things to happen. Not everything is perfect, my love."

Tomoyo smiled sadly as Eriol wrapped his arms around her body sending warm shivers down her spine… Nothing everything can be perfect… The words echoed in her ears.

Syaoran suddenly stopped playing along side Sakura, "Sakura?"

"Hm?"

"You're going to run…"

Sakura nodded slightly, "You won't stop me!"

The guards will be asleep when you leave," he said wanting to hold her close forever but he knew that this was for the best.

"I do love you…" she said…her eyes were ready to let the tears flow but she had to be strong for this moment she had to stay strong.

"And I you."

They breathed, "It's to early."

"You will wait for me?"

"I will wait forever," he said turning away from her so that she couldn't see the sadness in his eyes.

"I'll come back."

"I'll still be here."

Sakura's dull emerald eyes lost their voluptuous shine, and she realized that Syaoran wouldn't stop her from running… it was too early for them.

If they were like Tomoyo and Eriol this would be a different story… but, they were a different couple… and this was a dissimilar tale.

It might have a happy ending, but now it was terribly hard and bitter. Sakura knew that their love would stay strong, and that it would last…

~ I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever and ended too soon
you were all by yourself ~

Yes, indeed, they were the perfect couple, but they were not ready to be married… they weren't meant to be together now… things just weren't meant to be at the moment. In the future… things might change, but now all Sakura could do was run.

"Good-bye, my love."

Sakura ran down the hallways as her dress flowed behind her. Her tears ran down her face paling her cheeks, and softening her tones as she made it towards the gardens.

"Love can not be everything… it can't always be strong enough, and it can not always last."

Sakura and Syaoran's relationship wasn't a platonic relationship, it wasn't a loveless bond nor an endless link… it was just two young lovers that found each other too early…

This wasn't a fairy tale where the prince comes to the rescue, and lifts the young princess off her feet… it isn't an endless tale of two star-struck lovers that fought so hard against each other, but ended up together… and nor was it a peaceful dream where all wishes came true… this is a bitter story…for now

Sakura's jade eyes looked up towards a balcony far on the east side of the castle, and saw a young male letting the wind tangle his chestnut brown hair…

No, this wasn't a happy ending.

~ Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry ~

And yet, she knew this wouldn't be a bitter ending either. She wouldn't let it end like this.

She saw his two tears fall down his pale cheeks as his face caught the lustrous glow of the sky.

Sakura had temerity, and boldness… she was strong hearted and brave… she was hard headed, and daring…

She watched more tears fall down his face hitting the ground below that balcony, and her heart started to break little by little.

~ It was late in September
And I've seen you before
You were always the cold one
But, I was never that sure
You were all by yourself

Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed ~

She wanted to run towards him… to hold him tightly to her, and tell him that she couldn't leave him… that she wanted to be with him forever, but her body stayed put and didn't budge.

She wished this was an illusion… an innuendo, and yet she knew this was reality. This was what real life was like. They had made their decision and it was too late to back down now.

~ In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry ~

She slowly turned her back from the sight that was holding her back, and she started to run. She knew if she turned back for even one glance than she would never be able to leave… she wouldn't be able to make it…

~ I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything alright ~

She fled as quick as she could, and didn't even leave a track behind her. This was their tryst… the garden where they met, and the garden where they fell in love.

This was once the center of their two worlds, and now it was only a plain garden… it was only a few plants… just flowers, trees, and dirt.

~ I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
In places no one would find ~

Sakura let two tears drop as the soft melody of the garden disappeared as well as its magical glow… this was the last song… that last note…

"I'll be back, Syaoran. I promise I will! The garden might look dead to others, but it's still alive… it's still alive. It will always be alive for you and me."

~ In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry ~

Syaoran watched his angel flee into the soft mists as she disappeared from his sight… he might regret this decision one day, but for now he knew this was what had to happen.

It was amazing how the right decision could hurt so badly… it was amazing how everything can seem perfect for a few moments (a few chapters) and then change towards a whole other path.

This was for the best…

~ Baby cry Moment that I saw you cry

No no nooo I think I saw you cry

 The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to know you… ~

Sorry, this wasn't very long, but I couldn't make the whole Sakura fleeing thing a long chapter. Please don't flame! Understand that Sakura and Syaoran just weren't meant to be for the moment… I can't believe I just said those words "Sakura and Syaoran just weren't meant to be…" *crys* how horrible can I get!?

Thank you Eva-chan, my beta reader! Review her work, and show you're support. This chapter wouldn't be out with out her.
