The best thing 'bout tonight is that we're not fighting.
I step forward and look you solemnly in the eyes, "What's been wrong with you lately? Something's not right—I'm no fool."
Could it be that we have been this way before?
You look down, "Shut up, will you? You're not helping anyone by asking about what you don't need to know. It's not for my sake; it's for yours."
I know you don't think that I am trying.
I walk up to you and grab your arms, "Please, Elphie! Please, listen to me. I think that if you'd just tell me then I could help…Give me a chance. As your friend."
I know you're wearing thin down to the core.
You step out of my grip, your cold eyes meeting mine, "I'm not 'Elphie', I'm not 'Fabala', and I'm not even 'Elphaba'. Not anymore, anyway. Look, Fiyero…Just go, will you? You can't help. This is over your head." You look down and begin to walk away.
But hold your breath,
I stare at you for a moment, trying to process what is on my own mind then I stride forward, my mind not knowing what to do, but my body acting on its own, "Elphaba!"
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again.
You turn around as I hug you tightly, refusing to let go, "Fiyero…! Let-"
Don't make me change my mind,
"No, Elphaba! I won't let go! Just…listen to me, will you?" I plead. "I love you."
I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true.
You gasp, "Wha—what do you…?"
Because a girl like you is impossible to find.
"You heard me, Elphaba." I say to you, "I love you so much… so don't shut me out."
You're impossible to find.
You gasp and stare at me, then tears begin to well up in your eyes, you cry out, wiping furiously at the tears with a rag, "Y-You…You can't mean that…I…I know it…"
This is not what I intended.
"Elphaba!" I yell, "Are you okay—I mean…I-I'm sorry! Elphie…" my voice quiets, "I'm so sorry…I do mean it…I love you."
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart.
You merely cry more, wiping away the tears as they come, because they burn like the fires of hell, "Fiyero…I…you…You can't…!"
You always thought that I was stronger.
I sigh, "No…Elphie…Fabala…Please…I can, and do. Really…" I tell you, almost crying myself.
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start.
You pause for a long time, then you stutter out the words, "Really…? You're…serious?"
So hold your breath,
I nod vigorously, "Yes, Elphaba…I am. Really."
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again,
Your tears slowly start to stop, "Fiyero…I love you…I love you, too." You tell me.
Don't make me change my mind.
I smile slowly, hugging you, "…Thank-you, Elphie. You mean so much to me…"
I won't live to see another day,
This time you smile, "I know…I know I do…"
I swear it's true,
I look at you, "Do you really? Do you really understand how much I love you?"
Because a girl like you is impossible to find,
You smile again, "Yes; because I feel the exact same way, Fiyero."
You're impossible to find.
"I love you, Elphaba."
