First off: I have nothing against Sakura. Nothing at all. And I agree with you about how Sakura wants Sasuke back. But her past crush on him causes her to think that she is still in love with him. It's sad but true, and you yourself mention that. However, you should know that Naruto is renowned for having its characters grow up out of manga stereotypes, and Sakura has shown many signs of growing up and realizing that the person who truly cares for her has been standing beside her the whole time.

There are also plenty of other words that she could've used. Personally, I would've said what Naruto did at the end of the Five Kage Summit Arc: "Because I'm your friend". We all know Sakura feels the same way.

As for you, Hisana - I'm sorry I'm not SasuSaku, okay?
