She woke up, stretching herself.
She still looked like a queen.
The sun sent kind and warm sunrays on her still-tired-looking face. Outside, birds were singing, welcoming the
sun.
Where is he? There was no sign left, telling her he was still here.
"Mornin' Sunshine!" he startled her. Seifer came out of the bathroom, wearing only his boxers. A towel hung over his shoulder.
"I thought you left…" she whispered, avoiding his emerald eyes.
"Well… I am leaving. As soon as I get dressed."
She looked up, studied his face, his body, his beautiful eyes…
Quistis knew it! He loved her, he was afraid. Seifer was afraid to love her.
"Stay…" she said, her voice soft and almost begging, longing…
He answered, just by looking at her. His eyes seemed to say: I'm sorry, but I can't. I won't hurt you again, I won't allow myself to hurt you again.
If you leave, you'll hurt me even more.
You don't know what you're doing.
I do know. I'm following my heart. Seifer… listen to your heart. Stay…
"Quisty…"
She stood up, walked towards him and threw her arms around his neck.
"Please… Stay…" she whispered in his ear.
It was quiet. Neither of them said a word. Their thoughts, wandering, as if they were one. Getting lost in their minds, together, not wanting to go back. Together in their dreams, not wanting to let go of one an other, not wanting the embrace to end.
We always have a choice
At least I we think we do
We can always use our voice
I thought this to be true
We can live in fear
Extend ourselves to love
We can fall below
or lift ourselves above
Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear
I always tried so hard
To share myself around
Now I'm closing up again
Drilling through the ground
Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear
I love to give myself away
But I find it hard to trust
I got no map to find my way
And what's these clouds of dust?
Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear
But it's not always that clear…
But it's not always that clear…
But it's not always that clear…
