My love,
If you are reading this then I know that I am dead. That means that
everything the Goddesses told me would happen, did. You remember the
dream I had, the one I said I didn't remember? That was it. Instead I told
you everything was okay and that I loved you. Inside, though, my mind
was spinning. I couldn't believe I was going to have to leave you. You
don't know how much at that moment, I wanted to tell you, to have that
feeling of being wrapped up in your arms and just cry. Instead I stayed
strong even though I would have given up everything to stay in bed with
you. When we finally did have to get up, I made sure I looked perfect for
you. Did you notice that I wore your favorite shirt? I wanted your last
vision of me to be perfect. I know how shallow that sounds but I didn't
want our last moments together to consist of you looking as beautiful as
always and me with my awful bed hair and morning breath. I hope you
aren't mad at me, because that would hurt me more than a thousand
deaths. Just remember I still love you so much!! Neither death nor time
can ever change that. How's Dawn handling it? Tell her I miss her, too.
Make sure she knows its okay for her to feel alone especially at a time like
now. If she ever needs to talk let her know that I will always be listening.
She's just a kid, Will, no matter how old she tries to act. Underneath
it all she's scared out of her mind that everyone she loves is going to die
and leave her all alone. She can't bond with anyone without thinking that
they will die and it will be her fault. That's partially why she doesn't
have any friends at school. Promise me that you will make time to talk to
her, to ask her how school was, and read beneath the happy-go-lucky bull
she's going to say. She's carrying around a lot of problems and I'm
afraid if we don't make enough time for her, we're going to lose her. If you
want to, show her this letter, and don't be afraid to cry in front of her. She
needs to see that it's okay to express all these emotions. It's one of
the greatest parts of being human. You must also carry on the sacred
tradition that is milkshake and movie night. I need to finish this letter,
because it's almost time for me to meet my fate. I was told in that dream
that I could tell you this, I forgive you. After I die you are going to feel
alone and you are going to do some things that you think I will never
forgive you for, but I do. You have so much potential and I love you so
much! Will, sometimes I am so proud of you that I feel like my heart is
going to explode with happiness. It's those moments that I truly see how
beautiful you are, how caring and smart, and that I must be the luckiest
person alive to be able to wake up next you every morning. Those are the
moments when I realize my worst fears, too. That you are to good for me
and I don't deserve you, because nothing in my life has ever come
easy to me, except for you. Whenever anything would go wrong I knew
that I could run back to you and all those problems would suddenly go
away. When we kissed, even through morning breath and all, my fears
would fade away, because our love's forever and we're forever. So my
love, forgive me for what I must do. Believe that I will never leave your
side.
Eternally yours,
Tara
"Tara, what are you doing?" Willow called groggily from the bed. "It's not even six yet. Some of us need our beauty sleep." Tara looked away from the window and slid the letter into Willow's top dresser drawer.
"I'm coming my love; I just thought I heard something." Tara wiped the last of her tears away as she slipped back into bed on the day that would change all of their lives forever.
The End
