Author's Note: This was written in a flurry after hearing the phrase, "Meet Someone Like You" on the radio.

Spoiler: Takes place during the fourth season.

All I thought about when I saw you standing there was, 'I've never met someone like you.'

Which was odd, considering we hadn't spoken... yet.

But, I knew that you were someone special.

Someone I wanted to know.

Someone, I could see myself spending every waking moment with.

All of this and so much more, from a single glance...

One that took my breath away.

And made my heart beat in such a manner, that I was sure it was going to burst.

I gasped out loud when you turned my way...

You had smiled.

And I...

I melted.

If it wasn't for the wall I was standing next to, I knew I would have dropped to my knees and given my heartfelt thanks...

Thanks that I was allowed to be in your presence, to be able to gaze upon your beauty.

You were all I could see.

Everyone else was a blur, going faster than I could track. But, it didn't bother me, for all I wanted to see was you.

My hand moved to my forehead and my tongue moistened my dry lips.

I burned...

I felt a blaze building inside of me.

And I knew what had started the flame.

You had without a single word.

With just one glance, and I wanted this fire to engulf me, so that I could rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.

Glowing brilliantly with your love.

I could see myself doing things with you.

Some that I've never imagined...

Others, I'd like to share.

I knew you would teach me so much, and I...

I am eager to learn.

Learn...

Your touches...

Taste...

Your kisses...

And most importantly...

I wanted to learn what it was to have...

Your love.

I saw you leaving and without knowing it, you had taken my heart with you.

I needed to know, what do I had to do...

To meet someone like you.

"Tara."

"Ye-yes," she replied reluctantly tearing her gaze from the spot where the redhead had been standing.

"Can I copy your notes for class?"

"Um... ss-sure."

"Great. I appreciate it."

"Nn-no problem."

Taking another quick look, Tara sighed. The redhead was truly gone perhaps she'd see her again.

She hoped so.

The End.
