I thought of this while eating dinner O.O And was inspired by a fanfic called "A Thousand Words" by MyVampireEyes (you should definitely read her fanfics! I highly recommend it x3).

So here is a short one-shot/drabble that I came up with. Might suck so here's a warning -.-" And Amu is around 23 throughout this whole fanfic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara! in any way.

I love you.

Why is it so hard to say?

"Amu, I love you."

I knew he loved me. I loved him too. He also confessed and said those three words. But I didn't. I couldn't. It was too hard for some reason.

"Ikuto, I…"

I slowly walked through the empty and sinister area.

"What is it, Amu?"

"I…"

My grip on the bouquet of roses I was clutching tightened.

"Amu, meet me at the café at four."

"Why?"

"It's a surprise."

I regret not saying it.

"News flash! An accident has just occurred on the streets of our hometown at 3:58 p.m…"

Why couldn't I say it?

"Miss, this was found in his pockets. I believe it is for you." I opened the box and the tears flowed down my cheeks.

As I was plodding through the place, the sun's rays bounced off of the golden band on my ring finger.

Engraved on the ring was 'I love you'.

I stopped in front of my destination.

"Hinamori-san, are you married?" Her eyes shone with curiosity.

"…Yes."

I bent down and placed the flowers in front of the gravestone that read:

Tsukiyomi Ikuto

December 1, 19XX – September 24, 20XX

Loving Son, Brother, and Fiancé

A tear slid down my face.

"I love you."

Why couldn't I say those three words to him before?

How was it? Did you guys like it? Hate it? Tell me what you think!

Please R&R!

And do you know why the second date was important?
