Another long and tiring day. Who'd have thought delivering parcels could be so exhausting? Not me.
But as soon as I closed my eyes, my thoughts took a new turn, a turn I was not entirely happy for them to take.
It was a picture in my mind, a memory that would live with me forever.
It had been at a celebration party, we had blown up an Oz station, and so I had suggested grabbing a pizza, but it had ended up with nearly everyone we knew coming along.
There was Heero, silent as always, mouth set in a line, although I could have sworn there was a twinkle in his eyes. Then Trowa, actually smiling! Green eyes laughing as he sat next to Quatre, eating a slice of pizza.
Quatre. The blond boy had been laughing then, he hadn't laughed later, I recollected bitterly, wearing a pink shirt, that hurt the eyes to look at it for to long.
Finally Wufei, the dignified Chinese boy had pizza sauce dripping down his chin and when I had taken the picture of them he had yelled at me about "the injustice of it all."
There isn't much I haven't shared, with you, along the road, and through it all, there'd always be, tomorrow's episode.
But later, things had come crashing down, I can't even remember what the fight had been about, just that one minute, we were having a good time, the next, disaster.
Suddenly that isn't true, there's another avenue, beckoning the great divide, ask no questions, take no side…
It had been me and Heero versus Wufei, Trowa and Quatre, no one knew how it had started, we had argued bitterly. A real horrid fight. All of us believing we were in the right.
Who's to say, who's right or wrong, whose course is braver run, still we are, have always been, will ever be, as one.
But still I think of my friends, even now, even after we left with so much bitter feeling, even though I don't keep in touch with them, talk to them, or see them…
So, if I have no regrets, why do I feel like breaking down and crying?
Maybe it was partly my fault; maybe I should swallow my pride after all these years, and give them a call.
The same joy, the same sadness, each step of the way that fought in me, and taught me…
That friends, never say…say goodbye…never say goodbye, never, say, goodbye.
Suddenly, that isn't true, there's another avenue, beckoning the great divide…
I would choose, the same joy, the same sadness, each step of the way, that fought in me, and taught me…
That friends, never say, say goodbye, never say goodbye, never, say, goodbye.
Never say goodbye.
Never, say, goodbye.
There isn't much I haven't shared, with you, along the road,
And through it all there'd always be, tomorrow's episode,
Suddenly, that isn't true,
There's another avenue,
Beckoning the great divide,
Ask no questions, take no side.
Who's to say who's right or wrong, whose course is braver run,
Still we are, have always been, will ever be, as one.
What is done, has been done for the best.
Though the mist in my eyes might suggest,
Just a little confusion, about what I'd lose,
But if I started over,
I know I would choose…
The same joy, the same sadness, each step of the way,
That fought in me, and taught me, that friends never say…
Say goodbye, never say goodbye, never, say, goodbye.
Suddenly that isn't true, there's another avenue,
Beckoning the great divide,
I would choose,
The same joy, the same sadness, each step of the way,
That fought in me, and taught me, that friends never say…
Say goodbye, never say goodbye, never, say goodbye.
