Author's Note: This is just a whim little fanfic that I literally wrote in the last twenty minutes. The song is Let Me Sleep by S Club. If you have never heard it, go download it or something. This is set between Dead Man's Party and Faith, Hope, and Trick. Please read and review! It is in Buffy's point of view. Enjoy!!
Shadows on the wall
Forming outlines of your face
I reach out to touch you
Through time and through space
I have been dreaming of him. Almost every night. But not nightmares. No, not nightmares. No nightmares about shoving a sword through my lover's heart. Pleasant dreams. They are all different, but in every one we are in the sunlight, and we are together. The two things that I know that we could never be.
In my dreams I'm always with you
So let me sleep
Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh
In my dreams I'm with you
Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh
I'll always be with you
In my dreams I feel the touch of his skin on my own, so vividly that sometimes I think it's real, that he's really there with me. Even though I know that he's not. I know that he never will be again. I feel the warm touch of his lips on my own. When I wake up I can almost taste it.
I dream that your here with me
Lying by my side
This wont last forever
Let's catch the sands of time
Sometimes I wake up crying. Crying for my one true love. But usually my dreams are all that get me through the day. Whenever it all seems too real, I just think of my dreams, and lose myself in them. I live each day...actually I wouldn't even call it living. More like existing. Because my one true love is gone forever. Without my dreams to hold on to, I would probably fade away.
I don't want ever to end
So let me sleep
Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh
In my dreams I'm with you
Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh
I'll always be with you
I know that they are worried about me. Willow and Xander talk to me carefully, like I am some kind of time bomb. Giles looks at me with concern every time I see him. My mom just doesn't understand. I tell them that I am okay, that I am moving on. But I know they don't believe me. In some ways it was better in LA, where no one would analyze every little thing I did looking for some sign that I was far from okay.
Let me sleep
Let me sleep
Let me sleep
Just let me sleep
Oh yeah
So let me sleep (oh)
Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh
In my dreams I'm with you
Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-ooh
I'll always be with you
I go about my business. I talk to my friends, I am trying to get back into school. But every day all that gets me through is the promise that at night I will go to sleep, and I will see my love. My Angel.
Let me sleep for a while let me dream of your smile
In my dreams I'm with you
Let me sleep for a while let me dream of your smile
I'll always be with you
The End
