Flying Solo

(Athrun's PoV)

You speak to me
I know this will be temporary
You ask to leave,
but I can tell you that I've had enough

I am free. I am not attached to Lacus anymore. I'm single and myself. I don't have to deal with her anymore: all of her lies, deceitfulness, and most of all betrayal. At first I thought I would be sad, but no. I finally had enough.

She had asked to break up and I agreed with pleasure. I couldn't be happier. I knew she might be running back but it won't matter. She will be detached from me. Her concerns are none of mine. Her burdens won't be mine anymore. I can finally live out life happily without worry.

I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
and if you're so strong
you might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go

Every time that you had left me alone for Kira, you had hurt me. Each time a new stab to my heart. Over the years I have gotten used to it: all of the excuses and true little "stories". Had you once every think of me? No. You treated me as if I belonged to you. A toy that is lifeless and be thrown about. Don't I have feelings too?

Years pass as I welcomed you and greeted you with a kiss every time I saw you. Of course, my simple gesture was turned down. If she thought that she was big and mighty enough to crush my heart, let her. I won't take this. She can go alone with my supposing best friend Kira. I'll let her have him. She'll leech onto him just as she did to me and let him go.

Step up to me
I know that you've got something buried
I'll set you free
You set conditions, but I've had enough

When you quietly knocked on my door that night, I knew what was coming. I knew all of what you had to say. I knew you better than you knew yourself. All of those times I saw you sitting on your bed and thinking, I knew you were trying to think of ways to leave me; to decide your true love for Kira and only Kira.

I opened the door, only to see your beautiful face stained and tainted by your crystal tears. I was expecting this. I was going to listen to your statements first but I decided to change that. I held you in what would be our last embrace and whispered in your ears to follow your heart.

A small smile could be seen on Lacus' face. Then with a small peck on the cheek, she left me, stammering "good-bye" though her tears.

I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
and if you're so strong
you might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go

As you slowly made your way down the path, I knew I had to accept your leaving. I cannot stay open arms. It is only hurting the both of us, not helping. Now we both can go our separate ways, you with Kira and myself I don't know. We are individuals.

Come back home, won't you come back home?
You step in line, you got a lot to prove
It comes and goes
Yeah, it comes and goes
A step in time, yeah it's a lot to move
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be, but I've had enough

It had been a few weeks after our break-up. I watch as you now follow Kira, getting to know him better, just as you used to do with me. You try to show him your love for him, giving hugs and kisses whenever you get the chance. At times, I am jealous. Would your relationship last longer with him than it had for me? What did I do wrong? But now I finally know, this will only last a short while. I will get on with my life. I will learn to love again.

I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
and if you're so strong
you might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go

I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
and if you're so strong
you might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go

As Lacus clings onto Kira, I know that she is happy as she is. I have to accept that we are broken up for good and she and I will take our own separate paths. And maybe even, our paths will cross again but just as friends.

HI! Sorry about the long update. I have soo many finals I can't even count (so far I had around 3 tests and a final—still have 2 finals and a test just this week). I won't be updating my other story for a while. Not in 2 weeks when school ends. I'll try my best.

Oh. For anyone that has a song you love, you can suggest the title of the song if you want. I can try to write a song fic for it (haha….only if you like my writing).

Anyways….baiiiiii
