Okay, this is a short Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga One Shot Song Fic… short story, not a short title. Anyway, I'm up to volume 6 of the Manga (Viz, you REALLY need to release volume 7!) and this is set before that. Enjoy!


She was… she is the angel of my dreams. I see her face whenever I close my eyes; I hear her voice wherever I go; I can feel the warmth of her smile on the coldest winter nights. Her name is Anzu Mazaki. She is the love of my life. But… who am I? I'm Yugi Motou. Your local tenth grade nobody.

Light from a window

Cold dark and black

Sound from a dream

I was hypnotized

I was paralyzed

I could hardly speak

And maybe – Baby

You never realized

I met Anzu back in Elementary school. Some guys were teasing me for putting together a garage kit during recess instead of going outside to play soccer. Anzu stood up for me, got them to leave me alone… I fell in love with her instantly.

I could have stood there

Lost in your eyes

Stood there waiting

And not realize

Love isn't easy

It isn't always kind

I could have stood there

Lost in your eyes

She had these bright eyes, they were… well they are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I couldn't pull my own away from them. It was like they had power over me… over my heart and soul… I couldn't look away. To this day… I still can't.

I guess I understand it

I guess I kinda have to

I guess I sorta see

But just because it could have been

Doesn't mean it had to

Ever mean a thing

And baby – baby

I could say that all the time

We've remained friends through Elementary school and still are today. I can't help but wish we could be more than that, but I know it'll never happen. Yugi is to Anzu as ground is to feet- I'm below her and I always will be. It doesn't matter what happens. She'll never love me… not this form anyway. She loves mou hitori no boku- My other half.

I could have stood there

Lost in your eyes

Stood there waiting

And not realize

Love isn't easy

It isn't always kind

I could have stood there

Lost in your eyes

How couldn't she love him? I mean, he's saved her life three times now, he's brave, confidant… he's everything I'm not. And it kills me. It kills me because he's supposed to be part of me… isn't he? How can something that's part of me be so different… and how can she love him so much? She doesn't even know him… no one does. No one really knows who he is, I don't even know… but she loves him. She loves him and she'll always love him. All I can do… is what I always do. I can wish I was him… and even as I wish I was him, I'm glad I'm not….

And you know sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I wonder

I really, really do

Yeah – I did it for you

But just because it helps me

You know sometimes it scares me

Girl, I guess you wouldn't know

No – You wouldn't know…

He… he has no soul. If I would have let him, I'm pretty sure that he would have killed the Kaiba Brothers during Death T. And I'm afraid he'll hurt Anzu. Not physically… emotionally. I don't want him to break her heart.

I guess I understand it

I guess I'm gonna have to

I guess I sorta see

But just because it could have been

Doesn't mean it had to

Ever mean a thing

Oh – Baby, baby

I think about it time to time

And even though it's breaking mine… I won't interfere. I'll stand back and watch him take the girl of my dreams away from me. I'll do this because I love her and I want her to be happy…

I could have stood there

Lost in your eyes

Stood there waiting

And not realize

Love isn't easy

It isn't always kind

I could have stood there

Lost in your eyes

Even if it's not with me.

I could have stood there…
