read! Luvs and Spikey Kisses! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I didn’t hear you leave I wonder how am I still here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The waves splash upon the shore in rhythmic, soothing beats. The sand covers her tiny feet and she sinks into the earth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And I don’t wanna move a thing It might change my memory ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The wind tossels her hair wildly around her face. He’s lying behind her with his legs encircling her small frame.
He raises himself from the damp ground and pulls his long, firm arms around her waist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, I am what I am I’ll do what I want But I can’t hide ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He takes in the sweet smell of her golden tresses and finally rests his forehead between her shoulder blades. He sighs
as if in perfect bliss. “I wish you could stay.” She solemnly says, now watching the sun rise above the vast ocean, making each wave
sparkle with yellow and orange. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And I won’t go I won’t sleep I can’t breathe Until you’re resting here with me And I won’t leave And I can’t hide I cannot be Until you’re resting here with me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “I wasn’t planin’ on goin’ anywhere.“ He tells her pulling back a strand of her hair to kiss
her neck. “When the day comes, you’ll be gone.” She replies. He stops kissing her and turns her face to his, his crystal blue eyes meeting her green depths. “Not this time” “You’re always gone.” She continues. “I’ll stay today.” He assures her. She shakes her head. “No. You’ll be gone when I wake-up.” “Don’t wake-up.” He pleads. “Stay with me forever.” “I can’t. Dawn…” “She’ll be okay.” “No, she won’t be. And that’s why I can’t stay.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don’t wanna call my friends They might wake me from this dream And I can’t leave this place Risk of getting off last week ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She turns away from his gaze. “It’s not fair to either of you. But, Spike, she’s alive. She needs me. Like you did once. I’m
sorry. I didn’t, I couldn’t help you.” Her tears stain the sand where they fall. “Shh…don’t worry ‘bout me luv. I’ll be okay.” He strokes her hair in a slow soothing
motion and waits for sunrise to take her away again. “I love you.” She tearfully proclaims. “I know pet, I know.” The sun rises and her eyes shoot open bringing her back to her small, dim room. Tears soak her pillow as she mourns for
what she’s lost and may never have again. She hopes that the dream will still come to her tomorrow night as they have
in the past. They cause her pain, but pain is all she has left. The slayer draws strength from pain. She hopes she’s
strong enough to end the dream the same way she did tonight until she is no longer needed. Strong enough to resist eternity.
Strong enough to leave that place behind for another time and another place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, I am what I am I’ll do what I want But I can’t hide And I won’t go I won’t sleep I can’t breathe Until you’re resting here with me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ His bare feet burn under the scorching sand, but in a nice non-fatal way. “So are you gonna go to her?” Angel calls to him from the safety of his beach house’s porch. “I
mean there’s really nothing to keep you apart anymore.” “Yeah I think it’s about time I did.” Spike smiles putting on his sunglasses and packing his cigarettes.
“Hey you better not those things can kill you now.” Angel jokes. “Yeah guess so.” He realizes, starting to put them in the pocket of the duster draped over his arm. He last maybe 5 seconds before the nicotine
craving roars it’s ugly head again. “What the hell already died twice already anyway!” He reasons, putting the cig to his lips and lighting it.” “Take care of her, if you don’t I’ll come to Italy and bite your ass.” Spike smiles at his sire giving him a very hesitant but genuine hug. “Thanks mate, for everything.” Spike says still hugging Angel and then realizing that he was actually hugging
Angel, quickly backing away and saying; “ I still can’t stand the sight of you by the way.” He walked away slowly down the shore line before Angel called back to him. “Hey Spike!” “Yeah!” “Get the hell out of my city!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And I won’t leave And I can’t hide I cannot be Until you’re resting here with me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *~The End~* |
