A/N: I heard this song and I thought of Quistis' feelings for Squall. Please read and Review!

~*~ She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye. She would suffer, she would fight and comprimise. She'd been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright. For the answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight.

She must rinse this all away. She cant hold him this way. She must rinse this all away. She cant love him this way. ~*~

Quistis was left staring at where Squall had just stood. She couldn't believe he had just told her to "talk to a wall". It had shattered her heart into a million pieces. She had just tried to open him up. Help him even. And how does he repay her? By telling her to talk to a wall.

~*~ How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see. She needs to be held in his arms to be free. But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand. 'Till she knows the heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man. ~*~

Quistis saw how insane Squall had gotten when Rinoa wouldn't wake up. He tried everything to save her. He had even gone into space. Then, after they all had fought Ultimacia together, he had opened up. It was not her doing, but the work of Rinoa Heartilly. The 'Innocence' of the group. In Quistis' opinion, the 'annoying little shit'. She would never understand that everything happens for a reason. She would never have the heart of the Lion.

~*~ She must rinse this all away. She cant hold him this way. She must rinse this all away. She cant love him this way.

And if she runs away, she fears she wont be followed. What could be worse than leaving something behind. And as the depth of the oceans slowly becomes shallow, It's loneliness she finds. If only he was mine. ~*~



She hadn't gotten over him. Not in all this time. She had even lied to him. She had said her feelings towards him were "sisterly". They were anything but 'sisterly'.

~*~ She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye. She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise. She'd been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright. For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight. ~*~

It was the evening of Squall and Rinoa's wedding. She couldn't bear to be there. Yet she had to come. She couldn't let anyone know how she really felt. Rinoa began to walk down the aisle. Why couldn't it be me? That was the question that was haunting her every thought lately. Especially tonight. But she couldn't hang onto a hope, a dream. It would never come true. He has already chosen someone. And that someone was not her.

~*~ She must rinse him. She must rinse him. She can't rinse him. She can't rinse him. She can't, she won't, she must rinse him. She can't, she won't, she must rinse him. She must rinse this all away. She can't hold him this way. She must rinse him away. She can't love him this way. ~*~
