author's notes: My second piece of Buffy filk. I have no musical talent, or I would record it. But instead you'll just have to settle for the lyrics, heh. Reaction to the episode of the same title, in which Willow's heart is torn between Oz and Tara and yours truly cries a lot because she CAN'T DECIDE WHICH PAIRING IS CUTER and LOVES ALL THREE PEOPLE INVOLVED SO DEARLY. This episode gets me every time. Anyway, yeah. Willow's POV. Stanzas separated by dashes, 'cause I can't figure out any better way to do it. I imagine this sounding sort of like one of Michelle Branch's slower songs, which might just be because "Goodbye To You" was used in the show and will forever be Willow's song to me.

A New Moon Rising
Settle your hand on mine baby
That's all you have to do to save me
After all that's come to pass
A girl lost, unloved then found so fast
Then thrown into despair only to
Be pulled back out again
I wonder now
Where should I stand
--
I love you
I love him
What we have
Is not what he and I did
This feeling is different
But both are true
Told myself I hate him
For so long, I nearly believed it
I want to forgive him
Wonder if I can
Wonder if I can
--
I'd just stopped seeing his face in dreams
You'd only just rescued me
The words inside just bring me down
The "uh oh" part, and the "why now"
What I'd begun to build with you
Is on such shaky ground
All I know is
It won't fall down
--
I'm supposed
To love him
To run back into his arms and forgive him
In a perfect world, it
Would be an easy choice
All I ever wanted
Seems to be
Just what you wanna give
Just want to get past this
Turmoil in my heart
Wonder if I...
--
A new moon's rising, hold me close
Black as dust, I'm scared, it shows
Coveralls, apocalypse
Cede to the past
I see your lips
Stammering out apologies
You need not say, my love
--
I'm not alone...
The one I truly love
Is right here in front of me
