You smiled to me every time we met. I faked a smile so you wouldn't see how much I was hurting, but you always knew I was faking. Still, you got it wrong. Because you thought I was hurting because of him, when it truth it was because we can't be together they way I wanted.

"Sakura-chan, you know that girl Hitomi? Well, it's Hitomi-chan now," he grinned sheepishly and my heart throbbed. I smiled still and he looked at me with concern, the wrong concern.

I bet she was beautiful, Hitomi-chan, I mean. I remembered she was one of my patients long ago, but I wasn't able to see her face, it was badly burned and the next day when I came to check on her, they said she went already, they said Tsunade-sama fixed her face and she was free to go.

I hated her, because she got everything I wanted…

The next time he talked to me, I would laugh until my ribs hurt. Because his jokes were just goddamn funny. Then, he said he was in love. I wonder if he knew that he was all I can think about at night.

He was always the reason for the teardrops I shed. He was the only thing that kept me wishing on that wishing star, wishing one day we could go back to before things change, when he was still in love with me the way I am with him now.

The next time we met, he walked fast by me because of an emergency meeting. I looked back at him and tried to hold the tears. He walked flawlessly and it hurt. I wonder if I was as flawless as him, would he love me back.

If I ever see that girl Hitomi again, I would just ask her one thing.

"You better hold him tight, you looked at those beautiful blue eyes and you should know how lucky you are. Don't hurt him because he'd been hurt enough."

I knew him better than everyone else, and he knew me better than anyone else too, I wonder why we can't be together.

He was the reason for the teardrops I shed. I kept on wishing on that star just for us to be together. But it was useless.

I'd drive home alone, caught a glance of them and winced. I closed the picture of us together and closed my eyes. Grieving for my stupidity that I ignored his love years ago. He was still nice as usual, of course. That was why he was always by my side when I cried for Sasuke… and his presence there made me realize I would never be able to live without him.

But it was too late now. Because he was in love with someone else, and I was just the best-friend.

He was the reason for all the teardrops I shed. He was the one who knew me too well and was able to break me in a single blow. Time could go on forever, but it would never be enough.

He looked at me and I smiled.

He didn't know it was fake this time, because I was a better faker now.

I kept on wishing forever.

But none of those wishes would ever come true.

I changed the story. Before it was from Hinata's point of view but it didn't get any review so I guess it wasn't working well.

I wish I had more review in this one.

Reviews are always appreciated.

By the way, I updated Heaven's Gate: Princess already (^^)
