I am amazed

When I look at you

I see you smiling back at me

It's like all my dreams come true

          Heero opened the door to the cabin and proceeded to plop himself on the squeaky bed.  Rolling over to grab the black duffle bag at the foot of the bed, he unzipped the large compartment and pulled out his laptop.  The assignment had been quick and easy so the team would be going home tonight.  The computer booted up and up popped the background of a group picture taken at Quatre's new year's party.

          His eyes floated across the screen and stopped at Relena.  Smiling to himself he remembered the past year.

I am afraid

If I lost you girl

I'd fall through the cracks

And lose my track in the crazy lonely world

          The last year the government had been trying to stabilize and just as it was almost there, a bombing at an ESUN embassy in the colonies tilted the balance once more.

Sometimes it's so hard to believe When the nights can be so long

And faith gave me strength

And kept me going on

          While she repaired relations between earth and the colonies, he was sent out to help capture those responsible.  The nights were especially lonely and the only thing that kept him going was seeing her on the t.v. speaking to the public.

You are the love of my life And I'm so glad you found me You are the love of my life Baby put your arms around me

I guess this is how it feels

When you finally find something real

My angel in the night

You are the love

The love of my life

          Deciding the report could wait until he got home, Heero took out a leather bound journal as he put back his laptop.  Uncapping his pen, he began to write:

February 13, 197

          Well hon, tomorrow's Valentine's and I'm still out here in the middle of nowhere, but don't worry, I'll be home soon.  I've been gone one day and already I can't wait to come back.

          Have I ever told you how thankful I am that you found me?  I was a wanderer and you came and set me on firm ground.  You're my reality even though sometimes when I look at you it feels like a dream.  I've gotta leave now.  I'll see you tomorrow.

                                                                                      Yours forever,

                                                                                      Heero

          The plane took off into the night sending him back to where he belonged.

Now here you are

With midnight closing in

You take my hand as our shadows dance

With moonlight on your skin

          Sleep soon consumed him as well as thoughts of their first dance together.  The lights, the music, and her.  She confused him so much, why did she care?  But then again, he could get used to the feeling of someone looking after you.

I look in you eyes

I'm lost inside your kiss

I think if I'd never met you

About all the things I'd missed

          Memories of their first kiss flooded in his dead as well as the feeling of shear determination.  It was the first time in his life he did something because he wanted to; not because he felt he had to.  He wanted to keep her safe.  Hadn't she looked after him? Now was his chance to repay his debt as well as giving in to his wants.

Sometimes it's so hard to believe

When a love can be so strong

And faith gave me strength

And keep me holding on

          Waking up, Heero checked his watch only to find they still had five more hours to fly.  Falling back to sleep, visions of home once again filled his head.

You are the love of my life

And I'm so glad you found me

You are the love of my life

Baby put your arms around me

I guess this is how it feels

When you finally find something real

My angel in the night

You are the love

The love of my life

Only one more to go……
