Black Cherries.
.brokenstrings.

As my teeth sunk in softly, I winced at the bittersweet taste which flooded my senses and overloaded my mouth with a sudden longing.

I closed my eyes and waited as the tears dripped out of the corners of my eyes. A sigh escaped from my mouth and I rubbed my eyes painfully and let the breath flow out from my lips slowly.

It had been summer. It was warm, as summer should be, but it was cool enough for us to lie on the top of the roof comfortably without burning. There was a bowl between us, we kept it stocked well with fruit, sometimes peeled mangoes, sometimes it would be ripe, green grapes. Other times, it would be large, bold red apples but I think the fruit I remember best would be the dark, glossy black cherries.

We spent a month on that roof.

We spent a month talking.

We spend a month dreaming, hoping, wishing…

Loving.

"Sakura-chan?" I remember his murmur, his voice so soft and reassuring, caressing my mind to a gentle lull.

I breathed softly and quietly. "Yes Syaoran-kun?"

"Halloween is coming up you know."

"Mhmm. I think so. I can't wait for the lollies."

I heard his liquid, deep laugh… So vivid. "You're holding out for the lollies? What about the witches with warts and those vampires coming to suck your blood and obviously, the ghosts with their spindly, chilling hands?

At those words I shrieked and almost fell off the roof. Syaoran caught me in time.

"I promise that I'll always be there to catch you when you fall."

There's a beating so rapid.

There's a cry so piercing.

In my heart I can feel the fire spreading.

A dull throbbing tingles.

The sweet sensation is overwhelming.

Insatiable hunger.

He promised me. He promised me the world, the sky, everything.

And then he left.

And my world shattered, like the broken promise.

Even if I never see you again, just want you to know how much I love you. I adore you with all my heart but it's easy to let go when you have so many things and people pulling you. Never forget me, I'll never forget you. My star, my blossom.
