Authoress Note: Ahh!! I can't believe..I...I'm...I'm writing angst!! But I was listening to the radio and...and...I just had to write it...when the muse calls, you must answer...
I'm reposting this for the purpose of fixing some little errors that were bugging me. No real changes, if you've already read it.
Wish You Were Here
* * * * *
Another mission. Always another mission. Heero was leaving her again, to fight some evil somewhere in space. She didn't know where, and she didn't care. He was leaving again, if only for a short while.
They kissed goodbye
at the terminal gate.
She said 'You're gonna be late
if you don't go.'
He held her tight
said 'I'll be alright,
and I'll call you tonight
to let you know.'
Heero kissed her forehead, and let go. He promised her he would come back as soon as the mission was complete. Relena would never let him go without extracting that promise from him first. He then turned, and left her alone in the busy airport as he made his way to his plane.
As he walked by the gift shops something caught his eye. It was a postcard. He quickly bought it and wrote her a small note on the back. He didn't know what overtook him and made him write those words, but he did write them.
He bought a postcard,
on the front it just said heaven,
with a picture of the ocean and the beach,
and the simple words he wrote her,
said he loved her they told her,
how he'd hold his if his arms would reach.
Wish you were here,
wish you could see this place,
wish you were near,
I wish I could touch your face.
The weather's nice,
it's paradise,
it's summertime all year.
There's some folks we know,
they say hello.
I miss you so.
Wish you were here.
He looked at the words he had written her, and smiled. He didn't know what it meant, but he knew it was the right thing. He mailed the card, and went on his way, boarding the plane.
She got a call that night,
but it wasn't from him.
It didn't sink right away.
'Ma'am, the plane went down,
our crews have searched the ground,
no survivors found.'
she heard him say.
Relena heard his words, and stood there for a moment, staring blindly at the face that had delivered such horrible news.
"Heero..." his name escaped her lips. She closed her eyes trying to hold back the tears. "You promised you would come back to me..."
Less than a week later, a postcard come in the mail.
But somehow she got a postcard,
in the mail that just said heaven,
with a picture of the ocean and the beach,
and the simple words her wrote her,
said he loved her and they told her,
how he'd hold his if his arms would reach.
Her eyes watered, reading his words.
Wish you were here,
wish you could see this place,
wish you were near,
I wish I could touch your face.
The weather's nice,
it's paradise.
It's summertime all year,
There's some folks we know,
they say hello.
I miss you so.
Wish you were here.
She held the postcard to her chest, and close her eyes. She opened them again, and read the words in a whisper.
The weather's nice,
in paradise,
it's summertime all year,
and all the folks we know,
say hello.
I miss you so.
Wish you were here.
"Wish you were here."
*Eyes tear up* Oh my God, did I just write angst? What's happening to me? Ahh...I can't believe I just killed Heero. All you angst-lovers out there...I hope your happy! *Ayanami goes to her room to cry*
