Rikku sat in the back of the airship,with her thoughts on Auron. She loved him. That was the simple truth. She might have been to young for him,but that didn't matter to her. Love was love not matter what the age difference was. They had never had any really romantic moments. The loved each other and that is what was important. When they looked at each other everything was right. They had no worries, no problems. She missed him and there was nothing she could do about it.

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

Did he know what was going to happen to him in the end? That thought haunted Rikku's mind. She wished she had knew what was going happen, then she wouldn't have all this pain in her heart. But she thought that if she did know. Would she have loved Auron at all, knowing that her heart would break in the end?

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

She decided that she would have, nothing can stop love after all. She would have done anything to keep him alive, but when she met him he wasn't alive to begin with. How could she be in love with a dead man? She had dreamed about him, holding her, kissing her. And no feeling could compare to it,even though it wasn't real. She would have risked everything to have the chance to really experience the feeling.

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

She still wasn't sure what the better choice was to know she was going to lose him in the end or have no idea of what would become of Auron.
"Rikku, You ok?" Asked Wakka.
"Yea i'm fine." She was suprised that Wakka was showing concern for her. I guess he's getting over the fact that i'm an Al Bhed, she thought.
"Thinkin' 'bout Auron?"
"I miss him, if i had just knew what was going to happen......."
"I don't think you should want to know. It could kept you from enjoying what time you had with him ya?"
"I guess you're right Wakka.

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

"But it's unfair I loved him and he left me."
"He had to be sent, it would have happened eventually anyway, he was dead when you started lovin' him."
"Maybe, I guess i would have rather not known how it all ended."
"Atleast ya had sometime with him."
Rikku knew now that she should be grateful that she got to know him,it was better to know him for a little while and have him leave her than never know him at all. There would never be another man like him,but she was prepared to face life without him. A little part of him would always be with her, her memories of him. And that would be her comfort.

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

"E muja oui Auron", but life goes on. I will remember you forever.

Al Bhed translation= I love you (like you couldn't have guessed it)
