::~Love Letters From Heaven~::

---Say Anything---



“Sakura…”
Sasuke slowly started toward the girl who weakly stared at him. The sky began to cry above them, turning the ground muddy.
He kneeled down next to her, propping her up on his knee a little. “Sakura…”
She coughed, a trail of blood escaping the side of her mouth.
“Sasuke…it’s you…” Her voice sounded raspy, as if it hurt to speak.
“You’ll...you’ll be okay Sakura…c’mon…lets-”
“No…Sasuke…I’m…I can’t…”
Sasuke looked down at her, now believing what she was saying.
“Am I…am I still…useless…?” she gasped.
“S…Sakura…no…you-you did good…”
“Ah…that’s nice to hear…” A small smile appeared on her lips. “We both fulfilled a life goal today then.”
“Sakura…I just wish that there was a way for me to make this up to you…someway to make this all okay…some-”
“Shh…” Sakura pressed a finger to his lips. “You don’t need to apologize for anything…” She brought her finger down to her lips, kissing it. Her finger, bloody from her wounds, traveled back up to the Uchiha’s cheek, drawing a small heart on it. Sasuke cupped her hand to his face, pressing it against him.
I could stay in this moment forever…
“Sasuke….I’m glad…we’re together…that…it’s you instead of anyone else…”
She suddenly groaned in agony as pain surged through her body. Sasuke clutched her hand.
“I missed so much…” he said. “I shouldn’t have left. I should have stayed with the village…with you…”
“I love you.” she said suddenly. “I always have and always will and…I missed you…”
“I’m…. so….sorry… Sakura…It’s my fault you’re like this…all my fault.” His breath quivered. “I’m not leaving you anymore…I just…want to feel your heart close to mine…you’ll always be a part of me…” Pushing locks of hair out of her eyes, Sasuke placed a gentle kiss on her lips. “I love you…” he whispered.
And that girl, as in much pain as she was, that girl smiled.
“I forgive you…” she choked. “I don’t want to close my eyes and sleep…because you won’t be there…but…at least I’ll live in the sweetest dream I could ask for…my last sight being…you…”With a smile still on her lips, her eyes dimmed and her body grew limp.
“Sakura…!” Sasuke breathed. “Sakura!!” He gripped her limp hand on his face. “Say anything! Please! Sakura! Say anything! Anything!”

But he knew she would not.
Nor ever again.

I wish I could just stay here and watch you breathe…I just want to be with you… But I know in my heart…our love will never go away…you’ll always be mine…time can’t erase a feeling this strong…

Sakura…


As Sasuke fingered the bloody heart on his cheek, for the first time in such a long, long time, water poured from the Uchiha’s eyes.

Or maybe it was just the rain…
