Overload
by Shirlz
Disclaimer: Buffy, Angel and the gang aren’t mine (but I’m hatching a kidnap plot for Angel as we speak!), they are the property of JW (PLEASE let B & A get back together with no curse/happiness clause hanging over them like an axe) WB and Mutant Enemy (Grr, Arg) and anyone else with a finger in the BTVS pie. The title and the lyrics come from the song ‘Overload’ which is written by Alfie Zappacosta/Marko Luciani, performed by Zappacosta and owned by April Music (Canada) Ltd/Magnetic Movements (CAPAC) and is taken from the Vestrom Motion Picture ‘Dirty Dancing’.
Thanx: SMG/DB/ASH and the gang -- who ever thought that vampires could be THAT hot!!!
Author’s Note: Final product of my retro evening -- this is the last (of this trip down memory lane anyhow!) Lyrics in Italics
I stayed in the shadows. Hiding. Lurking is what Whistler called it. By either name it was what I did.
She was beautiful. In all my time on this planet my eyes had never beheld such a creature. Her stature belied the power that was contained in that small frame. That didn’t stop me worrying about her.
‘I can hear your heels clicking on the sidewalk
Beating to the rhythm of my heart
Caught up in you
You’re the only one I want
I follow you home every night
Just to make sure that you get there alright
Baby it’s true
Can’t think of anything but you...’
I loved her from the first moment I saw her. There was just something about her. Something that made her shine head and shoulders above the rest.
She knew of me, but only what I let her know. I was what was it she called me? Cryptic Guy. I came. I warned. I left. It was safer that way. I couldn’t let myself get in any deeper than I already was. It was a battle that every day became that little bit harder.
‘Oh, you gotta know
You see me everywhere that you go
Doesn’t that say something
Obsession’s taken hold of me
All because of you
You’ve got to see me through
Can’t take another night alone without you
Honey it’s true
I’m so hung up on you...’
When I slept she was in my dreams. There there were no barriers between us. I could hold her, kiss her, caress her, make love to her. I wasn’t I and she wasn’t she. We were just two people in love. I wished with all my unbeating heart that I could still be holding her when I awoke, but my arms and my bed were always empty.
‘You got me on my knees
I burn throughout the night
And I can’t live without your love
Won’t you help me cure this overload'
The End
