"The good fight, yeah? You never know until you've been tested. I get that now," We stop to look at each other. He dinn'a even see it comin' when I ball up m'hand and punch him square in the jaw. He spins 'round in a circle as he falls off the bridge.
Then I turn to her. My beautiful Cordelia, my Princess. For so long, I've wanted to touch her, to tell her, but that light is gettin' brighter and time is runnin' short.
I walk up to her, and kiss her. So long, had I imagined kissin' her, and now that it's happenin', I know that it was worth the while. I put my hand on her neck, and hers travels to grip my arm.
I feel somethin' on our lips, but I pay it no mind. I just run my fingers through her hair and pull away. We both look into each other's eyes. She has fear and panic plastered on her beautiful face.
"Too bad we'll never know," And I choose to show her what I really am; what I really look like. The spikes come up from green skin and I cock m'head at her. "If this is a face you could learn to love." And I turn to the light.
Just take a step Allen...
I hear Angel screamin' for me, and I know that if he makes it up that ladder, he'll stop me.
Just jump Allen...
And I do. I jump off the bridge, onto the light bomb. I almost slip, but I climb onto the bar, gettin' a good hold. Angel is still screamin' for me.
I look back and smile, still with my demon face, and I see her, cryin', wishin' I'd come back. Please don't cry Princess, this is for the best.
Now to the cables. I let her see what I was, but I would die human. The light is hot, and my hands are burnin'. The longer I hold to them, the more pain I feel. My skin is burnin' away, I can feel it, and it hurts so much.
The only thing I can think is about you, Princess. All the times it was just you 'n me at the office, or the number of times I wanted to tell you how much I love you. I know how you'd tease me, but it never bothered me.
It hurts so much...
I think of your long hair, the way it would fly around your face when you'd turn. The way you'd always looks so perfect not matter what. I remember the time after Harry left, you told me I was a nice guy, and that one time the two of us fell asleep on the couch-
