CHAPTER 3

THE LETTER

She went to hers and sasuke's hangout and shed her tears there. She climbed a cherry blossom tree so no one could see her. She and sasuke would always go there during free period. And suddenly, she felt something in her hand. It was a pink envelope that had the smell of the cherry blossom tree. She was shocked. Only sasuke could've climbed that tree and her. She opened it carefully and she began to read it.

Dear Sakura,

Every time you smile, the pain piles up. When you said this was probably the last, I held back my tears. Memories are always too sad you know. I just want to forget them all sometimes. You were always so kind, and even though it's too late now. I want to stop everything. I don't want to lose you. I feel like the sky is enveloping me. Your face would always look up at me. The promise we made will now be broken. It's unfair. There's never a right time for everything. You know, Memories with you are really so painful right now. They come and then they go. Dreadful thing is, they keep coming back to me in a form of tears. I already lost everything about you and me. Lately I really felt really lonely, especially, when you met Sai. Remembering those times I hear you laugh. It just seems rather hurtful when you think that one second; we were in an instance wherein only the two of us exist. In another second, everything was lost. Sometimes I really don't understand. You're always the person in my mind. I never really felt this much pain now that it's over. Our friendship is one of the most important things for me. I'll miss you. And I don't know how to put things together anymore without you.

It's meaningless when you're not by my side. It's useless when it's not with you. Every minute that night, I have wished you'd take back what you said, because it really broke my heart. How I wish that I'm still the one holding you with such care and love. I would never forget the words you said. ' Nothing's Wrong With Feeding You Suke-kun '. That day, 3 years ago, you and I went out for ice cream. I fell deeply in love with you. You're the only girl I ever loved. The only girl I'll surrender my happiness to. The girl I want to spend my whole life with. I have to suffer now though. But you know what, I've learned that, Love isn't about the unhappy tears that goes along with it. It's about being there, and I was there. I was, and I still am. I don't regret those times. The time I held your hand because you're scared of the movie, and the time when you held mine. The moment we kissed. Those moments when we were fooling around and having fun. Your hugs, those always made me feel that I exist. You're everything to me. And I'm nothing if I don't have someone like you to protect. I want you to be happy, Sakura. I can't really stay because I can't take the pain when you and Sai are together. Maybe.. We were never meant for each other. And maybe I'm asking for too much. I had my chance didn't I? But I missed it. I thought that if I told you.. I would lose you. I shouldn't have hidden it for so long. I just really want to let you know even though it's too late. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD. But I have no choice but to let you go. You'll always be in my heart. And maybe when we meet, we might get another chance. I'm sorry. I know you're crying. It's not your fault at all. Cheer up, Sakura. Seeing you smile may pile up the pain I'm feeling.. But I'm always ready to get hurt if it's for you. Remember that.

Thank You Sakura,

Sasuke

She painfully cries as she held the letter close to her heart.

She knew that he was hurt, because of her.

She regret that she said those words to him.

And everything about them started to fill her mind.

More tears are shed. And everything fell apart.
