The Best I Ever Had

by Katsumi Tonicha



So you sailed away...

Here I stand, yet again. Tell me, whisper it in my ear, oh, I wish you could.

Sing to me, and only me, over and over again until the song sticks, embeded in my mind forever.

But not anymore.

So you sailed away with your shining prince, away into clouds of gray sky mornings, and far, far away from me.

But what does it matter? You were only the best I ever had. You were the only love I really knew, but you saidled away anyway. How could you? Were you even listening to me when I told you? How could you leave me when you knew I loved you?

I loved you.



It's not so bad...

I wish to kiss you, and make it tender, loving, so, everything in disguise.

But not it's wasting away, that hope for eternal love. It is nothing more than a hope in my heart, my mind, my soul, a fantasy playing behind my eyes.

I will never be able to kiss you, hold you, touch your hair, oh, never ever again. Never. But, honestly, it's not so bad.

Not so bad once you really think about it. Sure, I loved you with all my heart. I loved you more than anyone ever could. We were one in the same, you and I. No one could understand you the way I did, not even your dear shining prince. Were you listening to me? Did you hear me when I said I loved you? No, why do I doubt you? You heard me. And the sad truth is, I think you loved me back.

You were simply the best.

But you sailed away, far far away from me and moved on.

I don't really think you know I'm here. But I hear the stories, you know. There are many out there. I know you are sill out there, and maybe I'll get to see you again. Oh, in the fantasy playing behind my eyes, it continues forever.



You were the best I ever had...

You left me, even thorugh I loved you like no other could. Not anyone could understand you like I could, and you knew it. Yet, still, you left me. You left me, with your shining prince who could never really understand us. Gene Starwind does not understand. Now there is no more a chance of us. I miss you.

Melfina.

I loved you, but you sailed away into those gray clouds. But it's not so bad, you know. You were only the best I ever had.

Melfina...



*Author's Notes!* Aw, yeah!! My first Outlaw Star fic!! Look at me go with my bad self!! Tee-hee!! And no, no one cus me out, I'm not a newbie. I was a fan before Cartoon Network, which so ruined it. I'm writing from what I've seen, which is only the first twenty-five episodes. I think there's more to the series, but it just wasn't dubbed... Well, anyway, I still think Gene sould have left his hair alone...

Anyway, I always wished really deep down that Harry and Melfina would get together, but I just knew that Gene would get in the way. ^.^ He did a good job of that no da... Well, this was written after I heard this song. I have no idea who sings it, but if you've heard it, and you recognize the resounding lyrics of the song in this fic, please e-mail the artist and name of the song!! Thanks!

Anyone who has read a lot of my fics knows that I love writing romance. Well, until recently, I never really knew about romance personally. I had never been in a real relationship where love was involved. But now I am. ^.- You know who you are!

...

I'm done.
