Italics means poem
And Meer's name since I started with Mia already I'll stick with it

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ZALA THINKING?" Cagalli yelled, seeing the innocent white invitation with bold gold letterings.
"He must really have gone mad, inviting me to his wedding" she snorted, reading the invitation.
Cagalli felt hot tears threatening to fall "Athrun" she whispered "Bastard"
Even if I don't want to cry
I still can't stop thinking of you
Cagalli decided to attend Athrun's wedding, I mean why not this might be the last time she could see his serene face, his intense emerald eyes and those stormy blue locks of his.
"The wedding will be held tomorrow in Palestine Avenue" she read while scanning her wardrobe for a suitable dress.
Even if it would break my heart,
Let me see you once more
"This would do!" Cagalli smiled though it was sad, she picked the red dress that Athrun gave her on her last birthday together with a rose clip and bouquet of orange hibiscus.
Your twinkling eyes,
And soft smile, would make my blood flow
"I must be out of my mind" Cagalli sadly laughed. Tears once again filled her eyes, she knew that this would be the last time she would see the only man she truly loved, Athrun Zala.
Who she thought could fulfill her dream of having a true love, dancing with you in a timeless waltz. But then some dreams only remain as dreams, reality always seemed so cruel and deceiving.
How she hated it.
But I'll dream on,
And so will you, for our love shall last
---------------------------------------------
Athrun had been busy today, all the preparations and plans. Their so called home would be in PLANTs, October City to be exact.
Mia had been worried about him; she keeps asking him why he suddenly looks pale and sick. How his attention seem to be somewhere else and how he didn't smile like she thought he did.
Simple, whatever he tried to do, he couldn't seem to stop thinking about Cagalli. The only woman that had managed to capture his heart. He doubted that any other girl would.
Though we are apart
Thousands of miles away
He promised her that he will always be there, always. But now more than ever, he feels that they were galaxies apart. Unable to reach out, unable to see each others smiles and unable to feel each other's heartbeats.
Yes, they were so far away
And then tomorrow, the day he hated the most, his dreaded wedding. When the clock hit twelve noon tomorrow, their lives will forever be apart. Their paths would lead far away from each other.
He wanted to see her, to have her in his arms. To know that every inch of her is his. That she is his.
Forever
Please, always carry apart of me
And forever I'll be in your heart
And we'll be together
And now, here he is lying in his comfortable bed. Eyeing the formal wear he is to wear tomorrow and he wondered "Will I see her again?"
His mind thought of reasons to meet her just one last night, tonight. But will she see him? After what she had said?
She hated him and didn't need him anymore, why would she want to see him?
His heart ached as he remembered her piercing words. He wanted to explain, he wanted to talk to her and tell her he loved her over and over again. And apart of him wanted to prove to her that she needed him.
Only that he didn't know that she really did.
----------------------------------
And the day of the wedding came, guest piled up on the church entry as Athrun and Mia got ready for their wedding.
After hours of thinking over and deciding, Cagalli finally reached her destination. Sweet music greeted her ears as a man in black opened the door for her.
She was quite late but who cares? She didn't really come here to witness the loving vows of two couples but to see her love once more.
In dreams we'll walk hand in hand
And one day will come that we'll meet again
She stood there at the entrance of the chapel and climbed up the three steps before she reached the pews. And when she reached the last step, her heels made a sound when they slightly crashed against the church floor.
And as if it happened oh so slowly, Cagalli was standing there wearing the beautiful red dress that Athrun got her. Her hair accented by pins and ribbons and she was holding a small bouquet of orange hibiscus.
Athrun, hearing the sound turned his head, his eyes widening in shock as he met those beautiful amber ones. He glanced at her dress as his surprised expression changed into a happy yet sad one.
She was here
In the dress he gave her, the dress she wanted to burn
She was magnificent
Like an angel to see his wedding, the wedding he wanted to get away from
He felt tears on his eyes and noticed that the guest also noticed the representative's appearance.
"Cagalli…" he whispered
Mia's father wanted to scream, by the looks of it he wanted to murder Cagalli. Mia's father wanted Athrun's inheritance, his power, money and fame. He wanted all those and since Mia was thought as lacus Clyne in PLANTs he took advantage of it.
"I do" Athrun heard Mia answer, he hastily turned back to her and the priest.
"Do you Athrun Zala take this woman, Mia Campbell as your lawfully wedded wife?" the priest asked
Athrun glanced back at Cagalli, somehow he knew that she wanted to look strong but know he could see that she was trying her best not to cry and break in public.
Her dress was swaying with the soft breeze as her right hand leaned against the church doors to support herself and her left hand covering her mouth and half of her nose.
Tears slowly fell from her eyes "Please…" she softly whispered "No…"
Athrun turned to face the priest who looked like he understood the situation, he slightly smiled then turned to Mia and gathered her hands in his, looked deep into her eyes and said….
