They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know
It was supposed to be me. I always knew how I would die. I never even thought about surviving Sin, because it wasn’t possible… I was wrong.
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
We both loved you, in different ways. You were my first love, the only man I’ve ever truly been attracted to, and maybe that made us even more special. We were connected somehow… Sir Jecht came to Spira to be my father’s guardian, and then you came to me.
I tell the others I’m alright. It’s ok, I can pretend. On the pilgrimage, I pretended I was happy all the time, even when I couldn’t make myself believe it. I can’t make myself stop missing you… but I don’t want the others to worry.
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Rikku loved you too, you know. I know she flirted with every male we met, but that’s just Rikku. I had no idea how she really felt… she always seemed so happy for me. It must have been horrible for her to see us together, to see me hold your hand, to see you kiss me in the morning… yet she still stayed awake every night trying to find a way to save me.
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
What would you think if you knew how my life has been since you left? I never ran away from my identity as the High Summoner’s daughter; I let the people of Spira look up to me, because they needed hope. Since we destroyed Sin, I’ve hidden from all the people who want to see me. I can’t face them any more. They don’t need me any more… and I need you here. But I don’t have you any more. I don’t have you to protect me from anyone who you didn’t approve of… it could be quite frustrating, because you never really understood the people of Spira, but I still loved you for it. Now you aren’t here.
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
I wish we could have gone to Zanarkand. I wish you could have shown me the stadium and the waterfront and your home… is that where you are now? Are you a thousand years in the past, living life as it was before? Do you even think about me?
Are you even alive?
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all
Rikku wishes she’d never met you. She sits all day at the top of the cliff, her feet dangling over the sea, and she imagines a Spira you’d never come to. I guess that’s the difference between us. She wishes you’d never come here… I’m glad we met. Even when I was sad, you made me smile, and those are my most precious memories.
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
There isn’t anything either of us can do. Rikku can only keep imagining, and all I can do is remember you. There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think of you; the sound of your voice, the sight of you grinning, the feel of your kiss.
The sun will keep on rising whether or not you’re here. Even when I wish the world would end, I have to keep remembering that. It’s the only way I can keep going without you. I have the memories of our time together, but I can’t keep going on that alone. But you aren’t here, so I’ll keep watching the sun rise over the sea each day until you come for me. Please come back soon…
