Author’s Notes: My world -- no Grr if they get pelvic!



I made a mistake. And yet in some ways I didn’t. I thought that if we were apart, distance and time would help us move on. I was wrong. Distance and time just made us mature emotionally and realise that we cannot be with anyone else. We belong together.

And so I came to you and laid my heart on the line, hoping that we could get our relationship back on track. We talked for hours. And then we made slow and sensuous love. We explored every inch of the others body, rediscovering old delights and finding new pleasures. Our bodies in perfect synchronicity, moving towards the same goal.

Afterwards we lay together spent. I remembered your words from the day that only I hold the memories of. Pleasantly numb. The words that I hold as close to my undead heart as the memories themselves. I made you feel that way and I will always be in awe of that. In my two hundred and fifty plus years I have never before ‘touched’ someone the way you said I did you. Of course I have been with other women, but there has never been any emotional connection. You are the first woman, the only woman, that I have ever wanted to commit to.

We are going to face opposition but we will fight all the way. Now we have found our way back to each other’s arms there is no way that we are letting go. Together we are strong; apart we are just empty shells. Going through the motions. Barely existing.

We can’t be together tonight, I had loose ends to tie up in LA, but I want you to know that I am thinking of you and counting the minutes ‘til I can hold you again. That’s why I have rung Sunnydale’s local radio station and asked them to play a song for you.

You are the candle, love’s the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin’ like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
‘Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
‘Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

With all my soul I’ve tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
The taste of heaven so deep so true
I’ve found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
‘Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
‘Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin’ like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
‘Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
‘Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you...but I lied


The End
