A/N: Here it is… just as I promised, something to celebrate Zell's birthday… yippee!
Letter from Water Lily to ZellDearest Zell,
Tomorrow is your birthday, so I've decided to give this poem to you as a present… not because I am economically challenged… but because I thought this would be more meaningful to you. Even if you do not like me, please take the time to read it, 'cos I spent a lot of time on this.
The very first time I saw you;
It took my breath away.
I could hardly open my eyes
Against your blinding smile
I could hardly stop the fever
Running through my body
I thought, "Hey, this is him!
My very own Prince Charming."
But no, it wasn't meant to be.
For even before I could speak
Another girl was there
Getting all your attention.
And I knew then and there
That I had lost my chance
Now that you've been taken
I suppose that I should leave
I shouldn't cling on to the hope
That you would look at me.
But I just can't help staying
At places where you'll be
Please let me look at you
I promise that's all I'll do
If you read this letter
Not finding it offensive
Think of me occasionally
As the girl who's always waiting
I do not need your love
If that you cannot give
Just a faint belief
That you know I exist
That is all I have to say now. You can keep the letter, I'd be happy. But if it disturbs you, makes you unhappy, angry, or displeased, please tear it to pieces, and pretend it never was, for I wouldn't want you to be upset. I wish only the best for you… Goodbye.
Love you always,
Water-lily

Celestine: Oooh… What's this? (Reads the letter)
She tears it up without another word.
Zell: Wasn't that supposed to be for me?
Celestine: Junk Mail.
Zell: Oh.
Celestine (to herself): She clearly doesn't possess the talent for poems… so much worse than Zell… Hahahahaha!
Zell: What was that again?
Celestine: Nothing.
Zell: What are you getting me for tomorrow?
Celestine: (Blinks at him dumbly) Tomorrow? What tomorrow?
Zell (with droopy head): Never mind. *Sigh*
