Disclaimer: I don't own Heero and Relena. All the people in the GW credits own them. I don't own Substitute for Love, either. Madonna, and all the companies mentioned in small print own it. So don't sue me, I have nothing worth suing for.


Substitute for Love

I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
"I am now stepping down from the throne in favor of my brother. I am no longer able to lead the Cinq Kingdom at this time. I am certain that my brother will not fall short of being a leader. That is all." She stepped off the podium and exited the room.

I got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools
So gladly
"I will respect your wishes, Miss Relena, but I can't believe that you're just abandoning your people like this."
"Noin, I have to do this."
"Relena, you shouldn't go."
"I'm going. My mind is made up. Nothing will change it," she said flatly. I can finally be free. Just like you, Heero. She looked at his picture and sighed. Just wait, I will find you.

And now I find
I've changed my mind
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Relena sat down in her seat on the plane and pulled his picture out of her pocket. "Why am I always the one that has to find you?" she asked the picture. "Should I wait for you to come on your own?"

I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
New York nightclubs were the only places that no one asked questions. She could be alone in these crowded rooms and no one would notice.
"Hey pretty lady. Can I buy you a drink?"
"Fine," Relena shrugged.

Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt
So happy
For three years now, she had come to this club every night. The bartenders had noticed her come alone or with the occasional boyfriend, but they didn't notice how she only pretended to be happy.

The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Relena kicked her heels off and turned the light on in the dark apartment. I've waited for three years, Heero. Should I continue to wait for you? I know now that I can't have your love. I just want you to be a substitute for it. She sighed and threw the picture away.

No famous places, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
Life has changed so much since the war. I wonder why. Am I just imagining this, or did your leaving change me? Do I need you, Heero?

No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark
She walked into the club and sat down at the bar to think some more. Her apartment had gotten too lonely. She couldn't go on like this.

The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
"Should I wait for him anymore? I've waited for three years and he hasn't come for me." The bartender was sympathetic.
"I think it's about time you gave up."
"I agree," said a familiar voice from behind her. She whirled around, and there he was. "Why wait anymore when I'm here for you?"
"Heero!" She threw her arms around him and he held her in a tight embrace. "What took you so long?" she whispered.
"I had to find you."

Now I find
I've changed my mind
I don't need him as a substitute for love anymore. He proved that he loves me just by finding me.

This is my religion
And I love him, too.
