When You Love…A Song
Fic
Close your eyes.
Relena
walked over to the edge of the roof and leaned on the rail. She closed her eyes
and breathed deeply.
Leave the world behind.
Behind her
Relena could hear the sounds of a party, her party. It was a couple of days
before her 17th birthday and her friends had decided to throw a
party for her. But the people that mattered most were not there. The person who
mattered most was not there. Relena had not seen him in 1 year.
Find a place, deep inside.
It was the
anniversary of the first time she had met him. Ironic that it was also the
anniversary of the last time she saw him. Relena searched the horizon where the
sun had long set. She hoped to find an answer but it wasn't there.
Where you imagine that love never dies.
How Relena
wished she could see him one last time. She missed him more every day.
In the night when you reach for me,
Relena
reached out and grabbed hold of the rail to steady her self as a gust of wind
came up suddenly.
In your heart hear my sigh.
Was it just
her imagination or had she really heard the soft whisper? Relena tensed as she
felt someone behind her. Again she heard it, her name being spoken, ever so
softly. She could feel the person's warm breath on her neck.
Now and forever, will you remember?
Relena
found the situation familiar. "It's Heero! He's come back!" Relena thought.
When you love you're not alone.
Relena was
sure of it now. Heero was behind her, "But how did her get here, I wonder?"
The one you love is there beside you.
Relena
turned and she found herself staring into a pair of Prussian blue eyes.
"Heero…" She whispered. "Happy birthday." Was the reply.
Never lost or on your own.
For a long
time the two just stared at each other. Relena dared not say a word lest all
this vanish and be only a mere dream. For now she had Heero and that was all
that mattered.
A gentle hand is there to guide you.
Heero
stepped back and held out his hand. Relena took it and the two walked out onto
the dance floor. The roof was empty because now all the guests had left. Heero
had planned it perfectly. Relena would be the only one to know he was here.
Like the sun I am shining down through the veil.
Relena
opened her eyes and used her hand to guard her face against the bright sun that
shown through her hotel room curtains. She remembered the night before as she
slowly got out of bed. Was it a dream? No Heero had really been there and now
he was gone.
Through the clouds you can't see.
He had danced with her late into
the evening and Relena couldn't remember when he had left.
You must believe me.
As she
neared the window she noticed it was open and as she started to close it a note
fell to the ground. She opened it and recognized Heero's writing.
When you love you're not alone. The one you love is there
beside you. Never lost or on you own. A gentle hand is there to guide you.
Slowly she
read each word to herself. Her heart ached because she missed Heero so much.
But somehow she sensed that he hadn't left her. It was true that he was not
there and Relena had no idea where he had gone but she still felt his presence.
Relena held the note and slowly danced around the room like she had the night
before. He would come back. He had promised in his note. He would always be there.
You love.
