* I love you too *
The words that came from her mouth,
The ones I longed to here,
She waited until her last breath,
To say them in my ear,
Now I'm walking slowly,
To find the rest of the gang,
I think that I might die,
From all of the searing pain,
I remember what she told me,
And I just don't see,
"Tell them not to cry"?
How can that be?
Living without her is total hell,
My whole body aches,
God could choose anybody to go,
And yet it's her life he takes,
It's ironic how life goes,
The heroes are always the ones to die,
And the ones that get ahead,
Are the ones who cheat and lie,
I'm entering Scooby central now,
My eyes are filled with tears,
I'm about to tell them what happened,
About to inhabit their greatest fears,
And now here come the far-fetched stares,
Next will come the cries,
I wonder if Xander will attack me,
God knows I've told so many lies,
But he just sits there,
As Dawnie begins to weep,
I go over and comfort her,
It's one promise that I'll keep,
Willow looks devastated,
Anya looks in awe,
Giles goes to comfort Willow,
But says nothing at all,
"It happened at patrol" I try to explain,
But my words will not overthrow,
The unbarring pain,
"Where is she?" Giles asked,
I look at him with fear,
I look directly into his eyes,
And see a single tear,
"In the alley behind the bronze, I stayed until she went"
Giles looks out the door,
Utterly and totally spent,
"You left her?" he asks with anger,
I try to explain,
But his he grabs me by my coat,
Which makes me refrain,
"How could you just leave here there!" he said as his fists clutch,
But Willow pulls him back,
And that I am thankful so much,
Some things happened next,
But my mind pleads the fifth,
And soon after came the funeral,
And lots of tears came with,
It's been almost a year now,
And still I sit,
Every night at her grave,
I have kept the promises I have met,
I have tired so hard to slave,
Dawnie's safe as I said she would be,
All the rest are too,
And then I lean down before I leave,
And whisper "I love you"
