Hey sweets! To make a long story short, here's how I ended up posting this little inquiry:

Whenever I visited a 2xR shrine or fansite, I had always found this certain songfic somewhere on the site. In my opinion, I think it's a wonderfully written little fic, short and poignant. Some of you guys may have read it - I sure has heck have read it many times over. I've wanted to send the author feedback on it, and yet there in lies the problem:

The author is unknown.

:( It's unfortunate, because I really love it and want to tell the author so. But they have their own reasons to keep their identity unknown.

But I thought it wouldn't hurt to share it with you guys, just in case you've got no idea what I'm talking about. It has not been edited or revised in any way. Disclaimer's up there ^, please don't sue!

Well, here it is:





6 8 12

Author Unknown



Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep?
In the middle of the night when you awake,
Are you calling out for me?



Heero walked down the beach. The same beach that he first saw Relena,
or Relena saw him. He was remembering the past night event from a
couple of months. It had been hard for him to do, but he knew he had to.



Do you ever reminisce?
I can't believe I'm acting like this.
Love, it's crazy,
How I still can feel your kiss



"I'm sorry, Relena, but we can't be together." Heero told Relena. They
were out on Relena's balcony watching the stars, and Heero thought it
would be a good time.

"Wh.. why.. why Heero?" asked Relena trying to hold back her tears, but
a few tear drops escaped from her eyes and down her cheek.



It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went away.
I miss you so much,
And I don't know what to say.
I should be over you.
I should know better,
But it's just not the case.
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went away.



"Because we come from two different worlds. You come from a life of
Pacifism and Peace. I am a trained killer, asassin." Heero said
trying to keep a straight face.

"But, but, we love each other. Don't yo... you?" asked Relena as more
tears were streaming down her face.

Heero hated to do it but he had to.

"No, Relena, I don't love you." Heero replied with a straight face,
trying his best not even to show any emotion in his eyes, because
he knew they would turn a soft colour if he wasn't careful.



Do you ever ask about me?
Do your friends still tell you what to do?
Everytime the phone rings,
Do you wish it was me callin' you?



"Goodbye, Heero." Heero heard her say after he left. He stayed
hidden and listened to her sob. He heard her get up and close the
balcony doors. When he climbed up to see what she was doing,
he saw her on the bed hugging the teddy bear he had left 3 years
ago.

"Goodbye, Relena, I love you." Heero whispered before he climbed down
and went to his apartment.



Do you still feel the same?
Or has time put out the flame?
I miss you.
Is everything ok?



He walked back to his apartment slowly. As he trudged up the stairs,
he couldn't help but have her image in his head. He shook his head
trying to get it out, but it didn't work.



It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went away.

As he walked into his apartment, he glanced at the picture of him
and Relena. They were having a picnic and Duo had taken a shot when
he didn't notice. He ended up having pretty good excercise that day.



It's hard enough just passing the time,
When I can't seem to get you off my mind.
And where is the good in goodbye?
Tell me why, tell me why?



As he sat on his bed, he couldn't help but just think of Relena
before he drifted off to sleep. He heard a car honk from outside, and
got up to see who it was. He saw Duo driving a red Convertible, but
it was the person next to Duo that made him stare in shock. It was
Relena; she appeared to be wearing jean shorts and a baby blue tank
top. Her hair was up in a head scarf and she wore sun glasses. She had
apperantly gotten a couple of drinks and was hopping back into the car.
She kissed Duo lightly on the lips, and they drove off. Heero watched
them drive off, then he walked back to his bed, laying down.

I realized that it may have been better to post this in the 1xR showcase forum, but I've only ever found this fic in 2xR shrines. I'd like to see your comments on this, and maybe - just maybe - the author might see this and know that it's been appreciated.

Thanks, sweets!
