~~When all the stars were falling,
I looked out of the window, thinking thoughts that surely weren't my own. Does she love me? Does she know I even exsist? The rain was letting up, and the stars were out, and I almost could hear the church bells. I glanced at my watch. Midnight, and all is well. I should go to bed.
I didn't, though. In the window, I could see my reflection, and I imagined it was her. I suppose lack of sleep can make you think strange things. Her violet eyes watched me as I cast my own eyes to the street. Surely Duo would be home soon? He was always out, whether partying, or something calmer, he was a night owl. It always amazed me how he could survive on about three hours of sleep a night. But then, I was doing the same thing, but I wasn't out having fun. I was home, dreaming of purple eyes.
~~When all the stars were falling,
Things were so strange now, now that the war is over. She lives with her brother, in an apartment only three blocks away. I know, because I had walked outside her window on occasion. Okay, I did it a lot. I would see her there sometimes. Brushing her hair, reading, laughing at something an unseen person said or did. I watched her and wished I could be there with her, but of course, I couldn't.
She is beautiful, wonderful, but she'd never understand. How could she? Who am I to her? The love that surrounds us both was born on the edge of death, and the boys hold each other so tightly, as if one might be gone at any second. Even the freindships around me make my feelings for her seem shoddy. Like glass next to a diomand. I'm just the kid who lives down the street. That freind of her brother's friend.
Oh, what a pick me up this night was turning out to be.
~~And I've learned how to dance from a Vincent Van Gogh,
Duo appeared in the window, two stories below me. He was with someone. Is that a....? It was. It was a girl. Duo's never brought a girl home before... Be kind, girl. He's never brought *anyone* home but Heero. The pair on the street disappeared into the building below her, and she looked about the room she was in. Good enough for company, I guess. There were a few of Duo's mangas lieing around, but nothing too discusting.
Moments later, the door opened. Duo stood there, next to a very nervous...
"Cathrine?" I squeeked, and wished I had just kept my mouth shut.
"Hey, Hilde, kid, I brought you home something." Duo said cheerfully, then took his leave of the room.
~~Now the peace you will find, in your own you have found,
"Hello." Cathrine finally said, and I did my best not to gape. God, this was hard. My brain seemed to be nothing but mush. "Duo... um... I have to..." The brown haired girl took a breath and tried to continue. "I wanted to tell you...er...ask if..."
Duo swept out of the next room. Without a word, he pushed us together, then fashioned our arms in an embrace. Then he walked right back out.
My mind was compleate fluff now. She smelled like vanilla, and the expression on her face was one of confused delight. Could she have been as delighted as I was to be in each other's arms? She frowned briefly, then closed her eyes.
To my absolute astonishment, she pressed her lips to mine, timid. I encouraged her by responding. The kiss was sweet and brief, sweet because I think I could hear us both thinking ...finally. Brief only because Duo was snikering behind us. I just smiled at him, and led this beautiful angel past him to my room.
~~and I fell down, down. ~~

I reached up like you said.
All the stars were falling,
one hit me in the head,
and I fell down, down, down.
I fell down, down.~~
they fell from above
and I thought of hate, and I thought of hate,
and then I thought of love.
and I fell down, down, down, I fell down, down.~~
and the nights were wrapped in a white sheet,
and now no one even says hello,
'cause I couldn't stand on my two feet
I fell down
I fell down. ~~
the lights of the city are the stars on the ground.
"I may not be a quaalude living in a speed zone,"
But I could be restful, I could be someone's home,
if I fell down, ~~
