Summary: Relena questions the love that Heero has for her
Relena picked up a quill with one of her smooth hands, while with the other she cleared her face from tears. She began:
''You say you love me for what's inside
and it doesn't matter
what I look like
'Tis strange, how people around me judge and hurt. Strange how my heart beats around you. 'Tis all strange, since that day, for you, yea, but what about me? I remember that evening, everything. How the almost gone sun shone through your dark hair, and how your cobalt blue eyes put me under a spell.You say you love me, but why? When I think of it, cool waves wash over my hope and all I can think of it how it would all be if it weren't for. The waves drift away my dreams of future.
That we are soul mates
destined for each other
that you only want me
and desire no other
They say your time has been stolen, but what about my time? I cannot hold you long enough, no matter how hard I do it. And so is this where I should be now? Do I deserve the pain of wonder? I know Heero, I see in your eyes how much regret pass through your heart. I know not who it is, that you think of while my beauty fades away, but it hurts. Stop. Days and nights are passsing by me like the cool wave through my heart. I know of the dream I should be holding to, but how can I when you turn away in despair when I cry?
You say you know me
from the inside out
that you always have
so you have no doubts
I have made my choice, gave up a life for you, of that you know. But did you give up something for me that I know not of? Do you wonder of what you lost? And so I look upon the sky, at the soft blue horizons. They reach far into my childhood days, and I remember you. Yes, I do have memories. You. And as the sun rise, so do my forgotten ways, when all was green and peaceful. Cold is the cry that rings in my head, reminding me of the other life. Make it stop Heero, don't turn away. My light, as you say, has always been the moon to you, and my path your ocean. The ocean you now swim freely in. What have I done? Again, Heero, why do you love me?
But would you know me now
if I wore a different face
If it were burnt or scared
would you love me anyway
Hope? You have always been my hope. Love? A princess that dwells in a cage? Nothing. So if I were a different face, would you still love me? I know you say you would, but you do it without a thought. Stop. I go on believing that this time is real - am I lost in this feeling? Am I so deeply in love that I do not care if you love me? Am I...caging you in a long forgotten promisse? I know not. And you won't tell me. Stop. 'Tis strange how I falter, now that the world is covered in all but darkness. My own darkness has always been another.
Suppose my voice left me and I could no longer sing
would you still talk to me
and tell me everything
You tell me every day
how beautiful I am
that you love my body
so let's make love again
But if I looked different
would you up and leave
If I shed my mask for you
would you even see me
"Why do you love me?''
Relena was surprised by Heero's hands, which held her own, as she left the quill fall. ''Because of this,'' he said, while leading her hand to her chest, laying it on her heart. A tear fell from her bright blue eyes, and she smiled for the first time ever since doubt of his love came to her.
