Standing alone on the edge of the dock, I stare out at the gently moving waves with only one person on my mind. Graduation was only a few hours ago, but already he's gone. Off to go visit his friend Treize, or so I was told. I should have tried to talk to you earlier; I should have told you. . . but the two of us were joking around and drinking with the others. The timing just didn't seem right. Everyone knows. It's more than obvious, especially when it's just you and me, but neither of us have said the words.

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

I never thought I'd be this type of person. I was always so careful when I was younger. . . so guarded. I guess that's what happens then when you grow up the way I did. The only people who were my family were the others at the orphange. That's not a real family. I never grew to truly care for any of them. For the longest time I wondered if I could care. . . if I could love. Never having felt it, how was it possible for me to fall? I never expected to, but I did. . . and you were the one.

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

The war is finally over. It took so long for it to end and we were so far apart during it but I didn't mind. You asked me to do those favors for you and I did. I would do anything for you. There were times there, though, when I wasn't sure if we would make it through them all. Like that time you and I faced off in outer space. . . you in your Talgese, and myself in my Leo. I knew you wouldn't attack me. Not me. But I was worried for you. I knew what you intended to do, and I wanted to stop you but I couldn't. I tried because I wanted you to listen, but you have that stubborn streak of yours. . . I smile thinking back on it now. Dorothy asks me why I never visit your grave. I tell her I can't. I can't visit the grave of someone I know isn't dead.

You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Zechs, it's been so long but I haven't forgotten you. Who could? You were the last person I expected to see here. But of course. . . I should have known . . . You would never let Mariemaia go through with her plan, especially not when your little sister was in danger. You had to come. You had to protect Relena. As will I.

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone

Mariemaia's been defeated. Relena is safe. And yet, you have no intention of letting her know that you're alive. There's no point, you say. . . A dead man will be perfect to help set up the new colony on Mars. As we're setting off, you ask me again if I'm sure about going with you and I can only smile. Don't make me repeat myself . . . again, I tell you. Neither of us say anything else after that. We both know how we feel. Finally, finally, after all this time, it's happened. You and I together. . . you and I alone.
