Squall's Thoughts on Quistis

Do I really love you?
Or is it just a lie?
Am I meant for you?
And you for I?

I can't explain this in mere words
And I don't know exactly what to say
Am I ready to be forever hers?
If I don't act now, will there be another day?

I can't choose my own fate
No one understands this; not even I do
My friends have chosen Rinoa as my date
But I think that I love you, too

I would have acted sooner, had I known this would be
I thought things would be this way eternally
There were things I hadn't expected, things that affected me
Now I can't live in a way fulfilling to me

Everyone expects Rinoa and I to be together
Don't I even have a choice; can't they see this through my eye?
They say birds of a feather flock together . . .
Then aren't we meant for each other, you and I?

I wish the time were better met
Still, I must take my chance
But am I willing to bet
My soul on romance?

Quistis, it's always been you, and will always be
I for you, and you for me . . .
