//All my troubles seemed so far away//
She
was just here. She was just here
yesterday,
Zechs' thoughts were to his dark-haired love.
He never told her how much she meant to him and now…
//Now
it seems as though they're here to stay
Oh,
I believe in yesterday…//
Zechs
blinked away the blurred image the stars were forming. He slowly stood up and walked to window, if
not to get a better look at the stars then to try to leave his thoughts behind. His eyes were so far away in a distant haze
of sadness and memories. It was so
sudden, Noin. We must be soul mates, my
dear. You must be the half that
completed me…because I feel so empty now…
//Suddenly,
I'm
not half the man I used to be…//
The
prince paced away from the window, head bowed and eyes sealed away from the
beauty of the night. The stars tried
their best to cheer the downcast pilot, but he shoved their efforts away to
wallow in his own self-pity in the darkness of his room. So dark…it's so cold here…am I always
cursed to be alone?
//There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh,
yesterday came so suddenly…//
Was I this cold to
her? Zechs felt the frigid window with his fingertips, causing a
little cloud to appear around his hand. Why was I always so cold to her?
Why couldn't I have let her know that I loved her?
//Why
she had to go,
I
don't know, she wouldn't say//
Why did I tell her
that I could do this alone? I was so
cross to her…I should never have left her by herself. I know that she's a big girl, but why couldn't have let her come
with me this time? Why did I say those
things to her? The downcast man paced away from his window
and into the recesses of the darkness…where I belong…
//I
said something wrong,
Now
I long for yesterday//
This
is all my fault, the lonely pilot sat back down on his bed, glancing at his window once
more. Just two days ago, he and his
beloved best friend argued feverously.
She had wanted to, just this once, go with him on his mission. He told her no, and that he did not want to
risk more than his own life because of OZ.
Now as he thought back to it, he would have let her come if he had known
the consequences of leaving her behind.
Zechs
scoffed at himself. He was so cold to
her when he told her to stay here at Victoria.
It's so ironic, he thought, I left her here to protect her,
and look where that got me…it was so easy to play that game. I wanted the war to be over before…
//Yesterday
Love
was such an easy game to play//
Now what can I do?
//Now
I need a place to hide away
Oh,
I believe in yesterday//
Noin, why? WHY?
//Why
she had to go
I
don't know she wouldn't say
I
said something wrong
Now
I long for yesterday//
Yesterday, Noin…I died with you, yesterday…
//Yesterday
Love
was such an easy game to play
Now
I need a place to hide away//
Zechs
lay back on his bed, now staring at the ceiling. His hazy dark eyes misty with tears, watched the darkness about
him. I love you, Noin, he
thought as his tears fell to his pillow beneath him.
//Oh,
I believe in yesterday…//
