Waiting for the One
I stood there, under the pounding rain, I didn't know whether I was crying, when there's so much water on your face, you simply can't tell.
I opened my mouth and tasted the rain but it wasn't sweet and gentle, it was sour, bitter like the pain in my heart.
The grey buildings surrounding me loomed in a dull fog and entwined with the clouded sky.
-It hasn't ever rained like this… not even in the war.
I had spun around to meet Wufei's onyx eyes.
-Wu…
I turned away from him.
-How long are you going to wait Maxwell? How long are you going to waste on that unworthy bastard?
I looked into the distance, hoping to see a figure come forth from the lucid landscape, hoping to once again drown in the sea of cobalt.
-As long…-I paused.
I felt Wufei put his hands around me.
-As long as it takes.
I felt him shudder and fall back from his embrace. Perhaps he was disgusted?
-Duo… -he said gently.
It always felt strange when he called me by my first name. Everyone had become so accustomed to him naming each by their surname.
-You're too good for trash like him.
I turned to him, anger filling me through and through. He stepped back and in his eyes I saw sadness. Did he really love me? I didn't care, he knew how much I loved Heero, he knew… My fist shot out and hit him in the face.
-Shut UP! You don't know anything about him! What you've seen is only a mask! It's only a cage that he built around himself for protection! He's different! He'll come, he'll come…
My voice failed me as I doubled over. My heart, going so hard as if it's about to explode, such pain, so much, too much…
He lifted me and carried to his car.
-Then so it be Maxwell… but he is never coming.
I wanted to die, that moment and now….
I just wanted to die.
Waiting for the One.
In rain that pounds against my skin
Shall I cry, and weep, and scream
In looming darkness all around
A friend will come and say:
Wait you here?
Why do you think he'll come upon this day?
Why do I wait indeed?
Why do I waste my time?
Because I need you?
No, because you're mine

Later it isn't as depressing as this...
