Sakura's POV

It's been five months since that mission to the Snow village. It's been five months since Sasuke asked my hand on marriage. It's been four months since the preparations for the wedding. It's been five months since Sasuke has been my fiancée because now, today,  March 28th is my wedding. My wedding with the man that has loved me all of his life. A man that chose me, to be the one to live the rest of his life with. The man that has stayed with me throughout hardships, and didn't give up despite of the circumstances.

This man is someone dear to me, he is gentle, and sweet, despite appearing súper tough he is soft in the inside. He is an amazing boyfriend and best friend, he is what any girl would love to have. And I'm so lucky to have him by my side.

The storm has left, it has cleared away.  I am stuck to the memories from the past, but they have made me who I am today, I miss you dearly. And today, without you here is what makes my heart feel heavy, but I am aware you are still with us. In our hearts you have remained and has never left.

We are still walking on that path of life you always walked on, the very same path that made you late. But this time you  left early and is waiting for us, we'll join you someday. But in the mean time we shall live life to the fullest. Because as a ninja there is only one life style for us, either we die or we live because going to missions will never secure our safety if we're not careful enough.

We only live once, and we have to make out the best of it. I am not perfect because believe me, I am beyond far behind on the word of perfection. I am Hatake Sakura, a girl that grew up too early. A girl that regrets making the decisions I've made in the past..

All those years back, I should've stayed. But I was too wrapped around the idea of hurting those I love without thinking about how they felt. I should've stayed and worked harder but together, because family had to stay together no matter what. But I came to realize this too late.

Oto-san if you can hear me, give me your blessing. This is an important day to us. I'm finally getting married daddy, isn't that great? I'm happy, I smile a lot too, I promised I would didn't I? I laugh more often and act childish almost like Naruto when we were genins like back on the day.

Oto-san did you know that I wish I would've joined Sasuke and Naruto on that little mission they had when we were kids? Do you know why..? It's because they never got to see that pretty face of yours. And that smile that would always warm my heart. If only I had joined them back then it would've been fun for all of us as a team.

...Ah a tear is sliding down my cheeks at the moment, I'm not sad, promise. I'm not weak either, but being soft is growing onto me, weird right? Who would've expected the number one person on the bingo list would be tearing down at the moment. Ironic right. By the way dad, the Icha Icha books you hid under that loose floor board I've replaced them with new ones, and added new books there too, Jiraiya sensei has written more than usual...haha only he can ever write those type of books, don't you think so dad?  After I moved in with Lady Tsunade I refused to sell our apartment, it belongs to us... I sleep in your room sometimes, did you know that your room still has your scent and it calms me down when I'm feeling upset.

You may not be my biological father, but you are and will always be the angel that saved me from loneliness but I've failed you. I left you, and I'm deeply sorry for that.
