     1.4 +Disclaimer: Hey! Been a while since I’ve written anything. ^,^; I guess I’ve been lazy. This contains Yuri! Still, I’m back, and contributing to the world of Sakumoyo fluff yet again. I’ve done (to my knowledge) one semi-sad fic, which was a poem, Sakura’s Heart. I guess I just need to be a fluff writer…anyways, enjoy! I’ve had this written for a while, but never got around to typing it up! ~.^ ~~Forever3330~~ ^.~

    1.11 +Breathing hard, feet hitting the ground in a steady rhythm, I run. Each step pushes me farther away—not just from the starting point of the race, but away from my reality, my confusion, my naivete—away from everything.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +I shut my eyes for a split second, everything I know flashing through my mind and falling behind me into the wind.
    1.14 +
    1.15 +Then, guiltily, I remember it all, pulling it back. I notice another runner pull ahead of me, and I stop, pulling in one breath, and sigh.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +I’m tired of running. Not just physically—emotionally. I can’t run from myself anymore.
    1.18 +
    1.19 +Now everyone is ahead of me…But I can’t run anymore. It only serves me as an escape.
    1.20 +
    1.21 +I turn, and walk off the track into the forest of Sakura. My namesake…
    1.22 +
    1.23 +Soon enough I hear the cheers as the race finishes. And as I’d expected, she comes.
    1.24 +
    1.25 +"Sakura-chan…" She says, concerned. I turn to face her, to look deep into those stormy blue eyes.
    1.26 +
    1.27 +"Tomoyo-chan…"
    1.28 +
    1.29 +"What’s wrong?" That beautiful voice flows out, directed at me once more.
    1.30 +
    1.31 +"I…" A sigh escapes my lips as a knot forms in myself. I cute through it, determined to say the words, to stop this endless race I play in, trying to outrun myself. "I’m tired of running Tomoyo."
    1.32 +
    1.33 +She looks confused. "What do you mean, Sakura-chan?"
    1.34 +
    1.35 +A sad smile is mine to share, so much like hers, I’m sure. "I love you."
    1.36 +
    1.37 +"I know." Her voice is barely above a whisper.
    1.38 +
    1.39 +My eyes lock on hers. "Then why…?"
    1.40 +
    1.41 +Another sad smile, now hers. "You had to accept whatever choice would make you happy."
    1.42 +
    1.43 +"Then what about you?" My face, I know, is like a book to her, wide open to read.
    1.44 +
    1.45 +"Your happiness is the most important thing to me. Even if it killed me I would show you a smile. But you…you chose me. Why?"
    1.46 +
    1.47 +"I love you." I repeat. "You are my ‘special person’. And I’m tired of running from it. Aishiteru."
    1.48 +
    1.49 +"Aishiteru." We’re both crying now.
    1.50 +
    1.51 +And now I won’t run.
