End It On This

{You see in the past I had a dream
A fantasy}

Relena is walking down the snowy street, remembering her dream that she woke up from. It was one of her and
Heero again. Ever since he walked by her that one day last week she had him on the mind. More now than ever
in her life. She sighed and stopped walking.
"Heero," she murmured, glancing into the shop window. It was a HMV store, and on the screens displayed was
a band singing. Watching the music video with interest, Relena studied it.
It was about a girl who waited her life for her man to come, but he never did until one day, but she had moved
on. She smiled at the last part when they kissed forgivingly.
'If only life was like that,' she thought sadly, and continued on her way. Someone else had been watching the
same video as she did, someone she knew very well…

{I thought that we would last
Become a little family
Then one, two, three, four
The years were flying by
They soared}

Heero watched Relena continued walking but he ran to catch up with her. "Relena!" Heero called out, afraid
she was too far ahead to hear him.
Relena turned and saw Heero dodging people to catch up with her. When he did, he asked, "do you want to go
for a walk?"
"Sure," she shrugged, and followed him.
Stealing a side-ways glance, she wonder how much he changed. 'How many years since we last spoke? Oh
yes…next to last week, four…' Heero did the same thing. 'Four years…they soared by…'

{And it's my gut feeling
It's not happening for me, so...
Let's end it on this
Give me one last kiss
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this}

They walked to the park and sat down at a bench.
"Relena…"
"Yes Heero?"
"Um…Iloveyou."
It came out surprisingly fast. Relena didn't say anything.
"Relena?"
She turned and placed a finger on his lips to silence him.
"Hear me out," she whispered, staring in his eyes. "Heero, you haven't talked to me in four years…you ignored
me this last week. Heero, I can't love you if you're going to be that way anymore. I'm sorry. Let's end it on this."
She then removed her hand and kissed him on the lips quickly before walking away, her breath coming up in
little puffs.
"Relena…"

{You see it's hard to face
The addict that's inside of me
I want to fill my glass up
With you constantly}

Heero arrived home earlier than usual. His temper got the best of him as he slammed the door, causing a cheery
voice to falter and call out weakly, "it didn't go well, I guess…"
"Shut up, Duo…you know what she said? 'Let's end it on this', and kissed me." Heero answered sadly, trying to
use some bitterness in his voice, but couldn't. "But you still love her. And you told her, right?" Duo asked,
placing a concerned hand on his best friend's shoulder.
"Yeah," Heero muttered. "I just…damn! She doesn't love me…not after I left her all those years…"
"But you still love her," it was more of a statement than a question.

{I've been here before
But I've never ever felt this sure
And now I know I've been dreaming
And your actions
Have inspired me, so...}

"I've never been more sure, yes, Duo, I love her with all my heart…she's the only one I would give it to," Heero
replied, feeling some tears try to escape. He hastily wiped his sleeve to his eyes to dry them up and said, "I'm in
my room," before leaving.

{And it's my gut feeling
It's not happening for me, so...
Let's end it on this
Give me one last kiss
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this}

'Heero, why now?' Relena thought, flopping down on her bed. Her phone rang and she picked it up.
"Hey, Lena!"
"Duo."
"Hey, you sound down? Why?"
"Because—damn, Heero's there, isn't he?" Relena asked, sighing.
"Um…yeah, hang on," Duo said, and handed the phone to Heero.
"Relena?"
Her heart tightened at the sound of his voice.
"Heero."
"I wanted to tell you, I still love you. I always have, I just ran…"
"Heero, please"— Relena choked back a sob and hung up hastily, crying as she did so.
Heero sadly pressed the 'off' button and tossed the phone at a confused Duo. "She doesn't love me anymore,
Duo…I'm sorry, I tried, but"—he also was at a loss of words as he left the apartment, grabbing his winter coat.

{I open up, you ignore me
You're not the same at all
And if I could turn back
The pages of time
I'd rewrite your point of view}

Relena walked to the same spot she met Heero all those years before. 'Heero…' She then broke down.
"Why, why do you have to be so perfect? Why can't I get you out of my head? Why did I do that?" She
questioned herself, not receiving any answers.
She then looked up into the glassy waters of the ocean and whispered.
"I love you too."

{Washed up on the shore
Given one last chance
To try some more
But I'm tired, I'm freezing
Let's stop and call it history}
