The days pass slowly by
Slowly as we cry
I look up to the heavens above
I wonder if you are watching
Life is so lonely without you.
Duo looked up at the sky as tears silently ran down his cheeks. This had been the third worst day of his life. He took another swig from the bottle of vodka. He had swore to his best friend that he wouldn't drink ever again after the last incident. Too bad his best friend had broken his promise first.
As the days pass slowly by
I watched as you died
Your last breath took
With me by your side.
"Hey, we won! They're down for the count!" He was so excited, three weeks of undercover work had finally paid off and now they could go home. Heero turned to smile at him, a smile he so rarely saw. Then Duo heard the shot and saw Heero fall forward. It happened so fast. He turned and fired rapidly in the direction the shot came from and was rewarded with a thud from the assassin. He turned back to Heero and screamed as his partner took one last breath. "No! You promised you wouldn't leave me like they did!" He was still screaming and crying hours later when he was given a sedative and taken home.
As the days pass slowly by
Rivers flow with blood
Death reigns supreme
Children lost in war
My heart has broken and tore.
Duo was in the middle of another nightmare. His face was contorted as he dreamt of a child lost in a storm. There was war all around and his best friend hugged him to protect him. "Duo, I could not stay. Just like you can't come find me." Heero then pushed him forward into a river of blood. He woke up screaming as Quatre rushed into the room.
As the days pass slowly by
This is why
I close my eyes to watch your face
Your kiss I still can taste
War began out of peace
Why can we not return
To the days forgotten
Of peace and love
I pray to you up above.
Duo looked up to the sky. He was laying on the roof of Quatre's house and hoped no one would come looking for him. He was remembering when Heero had first told him. The shy look was so unlike his friend. When he didn't respond at first Heero began walking away. He shouted, "it's not as if I don't care! You're just going to leave like everyone else did." Heerp turned and a look of understanding crossed his face, "you're worried I'll die on you? I promise that won't happen."
As the days pass slowly by
Eyes eerily blue
With never a smile to be seen
I miss you
I look out to the ocean
Remembering our mission
To save everyone and lose no one
Too bad we failed.
Duo knew his friends were worried about him, but he didn't want to talk. He actually hadn't spoken a word in months. Then they actually went so far as to take away all of his alcohol. He hurt so much and missed his friend even more. It seemed like time never changed and he was stuck remembering that last mission with every breath he took. He was stuck remembering the look on Heero's face as he took his last breath.
As the days pass slowly by
They walk softly as I dream
We are still a team
I pray I'll see you soon
My love
Someday soon when the rivers run with blood.
The clock struck midnight as Duo picked up the knife. "Better cut crisscross, so they can't stitch me up if I fail." He was determined and before the final strike of the clock he saw a friendly face. "You came to get me after all." "What are friends for?" The next morning when Duo was found the floor was soaked in blood and a smile graced his lips.
