These days came faster than anyone could know He had brought her body back through the Stargate to give her a proper burial. He had killed the thing Vala called a daughter. If she was alive, he knew she would never forgive him but it had to be done. He had spoken at the funeral, not that he wanted to. The tears stung his battered face. It wasn't something he wanted everyone from the SGC to see, but the tears had fought their way past his own defenses. That was a month ago.These days keep getting harder, why did you have to go? He departed the graveyard quickly after the funeral. He didn't talk to anyone; he just wanted to be alone. He wanted to be alone so he could deal with this his own way. Everyone has a different way of dealing with death, but this was the harshest death he'd ever gone through. After Sha're died he was angry with Teal'c, but not himself. When his Parent's had died he was angry with them, but not himself. But when Vala died, he wasn't angry with her, he was angry with himself. He was angry at himself because he hadn't been there to protect her.
'Cause underneath this face, these are much darker days Sure during the month at the SGC he kept smiling and playing it off like he had gotten over the fact that she was gone, but get real, he was broken. Sam could tell, but she was the only one to see through his façade. Of course Jack could too, just talking over the phone, Jack knew.
You woke up in another world,
Daniel
dearly hoped that she had ascended, but it was most unlikely. The few
good deeds she had done, was it enough to counter the fact that she
had done so many wrongs. Of course about 10 years of those wrong
deeds weren't her fault. Her stepmother Adria, and offered Vala up
to the god Quetesh as a new host, just so the other girls in the
family would be saved. Vala had told him about her past, once she had
settled into the SGC lifestyle once again.
I never would
have dreamed of this
He
didn't really ever think Vala could die. Each time before that she
had died she had always come back to life, or just played dead. Why
should this time be any different? Why hadn't she descended
already? This had never been in any of his dreams before. No he had
always dreamed of them have a house, and front lawn littered with
children's toys, and a swimming pool in the back yard full of kids.
You showed me
how to live each day
With
he gone…he didn't know how to live anymore. She had shown him how
to be human, and not some worm stuck in an ancient dusty tome. No,
she had brightened up his day just with that bright grinning smile,
no matter how mischievous it was. Now she was gone, and the days had
darkened, but were slowly beginning to brighten.
The only thing
I want to say is
Goodbye, Goodbye
Two
months now. He still hadn't visited the graveyard where they buried
her. He still held so much pain in. He couldn't bare the sight of
the tombstone that marked her place of where she now layed to rest.
It wasn't easy for the team either. She was the glue that kept them
together. She was the peppy, spunky, and kid like feature that
brought smiles to the faces of the team members. Rare occasion did
they smile so heartedly as they once had.
These days are
brighter now that I understand
Your life had purpose, It made me who I am
Never without faith, you gave unending grace
He
began to understand now. Why she had left him. It was her time, the
deaths she had escaped before had caught up to her. Karma, as Cameron
so easily put it. But was that fair when it was all Quetesh's
fault? No it wasn't not at all. She was so full of life, and in one
split second she was ripped away, to be left pale and lifeless.
Daniel thought about these things as he drove to the graveyard. There
were 12 red roses next to him in the passenger seat.
You
woke up in another world.
He
drifted back to his earlier thoughts about a month ago, something
that had nagged him endlessly. He still hoped endlessly that she was
in the heavens with the other ancients. Most likely bored, out of her
mind, but that was Vala in a nutshell. If
she wasn't bored she was, arguing with him, if she wasn't arguing
with him, she was off torturing some helpless airman…and the
occasional airwoman, and if it wasn't torture it was saving the
world from her daughter Adria.
I never would
have dreamed of this
He
then thought back to the dreams he had planned. When the war between
the Ori and the Tau'ri were over he was going to ask her to marry
him. But the war was over and she was nowhere to be found. His
dreams, and hopes had been slain and layed to rest under 6 feet of
earth.
You showed me
how to live each day
He
missed her more then he could ever imagine. As he came to her grave,
roses in his hand, he stopped and went rigid. He wasn't going to
cry. He was an adult man; he could be like Jack and not cry. But it
was hard to try and hold them back when she wasn't there to help
him out. She had given him wings to fly, but as soon as he got to the
heavens they were clipped and he tumbled back down to earth. To wait
another day to see the creator of his lifted winged spirit.

Goodbye, Goodbye
"I
wrote down some things I wanted to say to you, but now I'm not so
sure it'll be enough." He choked back a sob, and fell to his
knees in front of the tombstone. He wasn't wearing his glasses,
that as a good thing. He wouldn't have to take them off. "Oh god
Vala, why?"
How could you have ever known
You'd
leave me here all alone
"How
could you. You left me here, to wallow in my pain alone. WHY!" she
shouted at the gray stone in front of him. The tears streaming down
his face. "You'll be happy to know, that you can torture me even
in you death." He lowered his voice to a whisper. Pausing to sob.
The flowers slipped away out of his hand, landing on the green grass
beside him. It was a deafening thud.
With all you
made and all you saved
The only thing I want to say is Goodbye,
Goodbye
"You
did so much for earth. A planet that didn't even really except you
for what you were. I'm sorry we're such a stupid race. Why we
couldn't see what you did to us was good, is a mystery. You saved
us from her, from the Ori. Your death was a good death, I…I just
wish I could've have been there to say goodbye."
You woke up in
another world,
I never would have dreamed of this
"I
hope they ascended you. You deserve it after what you did for us.
They should at least do that since they didn't help us out.
Everyone misses you…a lot. So when you get bored up there, just
remember us down here, the ones that care and miss you." His hand
went into his pocket and he pulled out a black box. "I was going to
give you this after the war, but you died so I couldn't" he dug a
little whole, and buried it. "Something to remember me by."

"I want you back. So just descend already. By the way I'll love you until the last of these roses die, which will be forever, because there's a fake one in there. Goodbye Vala." Daniel, sniffed back into his manly stance, and wiped his eyes, attempting to wipe away all traces of his tears. He turned around and started walked away. A light glow formed around the tombstone of Vala's and as if something etched it into the stone by magic under her name and a quote from Daniel, the words I DO appeared. Vala appeared in the light, and waved goodbye to Daniel's back. "Goodbye My Daniel." She whispered, and disappeared into the crisp cold wind that whisked her away.
