Sasuke quietly walked to his apartment. He knew Sakura was going to be there. He told Sakura to wait for him in his apartment, because he had a surprise for her.

It was a ring. A wedding ring.

Sasuke clicked open the door and walked in. But he didn't see her in his living room. Sasuke walked in further, but quickly backed away. She was at the dining table, singing in the most melodic voice he ever heard. He hid behind a wall, but put his head out enough so he could see her.

Sakura was facing the wall, strumming her guitar to a song he hadn't heard.

And I remember everything,
Everything I loved,
I gave it away like it wasn't enough
All the words I said and all you forgive
How could I hurt you again?

Sasuke's heart clenched. He felt the emotion tugging his chest. How many times had he hurt Sakura? He almost killed her, on purpose, many times. He said awful, awful things to her that broke her heart. He left the village, he was so, so cruel and horrible back then. Sasuke slid down the wall he was hiding behind in regret and guilt.

But every single time, she forgave him. She loved him unconditionally. She stood by him.

Why did he deserve that?

What if I let you in?
What if I make it right it?
What if I give it up?
What if I want to try?
What if you take a chance?
What if I learn to love?
What if, what if we start again?

Sasuke relaxed his tense muscles. Back then, he really didn't like Sakura. He didn't feel anything. But the last 2 years with her made him happy. He learned to love again. He confided in her. He learned to try and start over. Tears started to slip out as he fought to regain control, but he gave up suddenly. He cried silently as possible.

On this time
I can make it right
With one more try
Can we start again?
In my eyes,
You can see it now,
Can we start again, can we start again?!?

He honestly felt like that. He, once upon a time wanted revenge. Revenge against Itachi and then Konoha. Every time, Sakura knew. She understood what was happening, his pain. Yet she still loved him. He was mass murdering people, blocking off emotions, while she carried love for him inside her heart.

Why did she love him? He wasn't worthy of it!

Emptiness inside me, wonder if you see
It's my mistake and it's hurting me
I known where we've been
How did we get so far?
What if, what if we start again?

Sasuke silently prayed, begged that his future with Sakura would be clear and happy. He didn't, not ever want to hurt her again. He wanted to protect her. Forever.

On this time
I can make it right
With one more try
Can we start again?
In my eyes,
You can see it now,
Can we start again, can we start again?!?

Please, please let her say yes. Please let her know I won't ever hurt her again.  Sasuke thought. More tears came down his face.

I'm lost inside the pain I feel without you,
I can't stop holding on, I need you with me!
I'm trapped inside the pain
Can we never love again?
I'm lost without you!
