*^*----*^* Tears *^*----*^*

I've made more mistakes than I can count upon my finger tips
I have been ashamed and I have felt as guilty as all sin
counting every tear that drops cannot account for any loss
I'll let the past remain behind me now
fill it up with goodness
I'll drink it down with love

Willow stood on the ledge looking down tears falling on her cheeks her hair whipping around as the wind picked it up, her hands open with arms open wide. The traffic raced by almost a blur, ignoring the small Willow perched atop the bridge contemplating what to do "Tara" the young witch looked at the ground and then back at the sky "why you? why did it have to be you?" the tears surged and willow stopped thinking about her actions she just acted. Willow leaned forward and closed her eyes....her feet drooped from the ledge and she spun backward facing the sky, her arms flying at her sides as she descended upon her end.....her sweet release. As she reached the road the traffic stopped and a blue light surged forming below her creating a crude net her body hit it full force but it reacted as though she had landed on a bed of pillows even springing a little. Willow's feet returned to the ground and the light lifted her wrapping around her face became a peaceful mask full of serenity and love......"Tara?" Willow gasped and arched her back as the light wrapped tighter around her limp body. Her hair was pulled back and then the light surged becoming brighter, Willow and the light were gone and as the light vanished traffic began moving again.

never give up on me
I will never give up on you
you're everything I need
oh just look at what we've been through
so far so good

Willow awoke to find herself still wrapped in the light floating above a creek as small birds danced in the sky and bee's and humming birds fed on the sweet flowers. "Where am I?" the light changed to a shade of purple and whispered "with me" Willow looked at the light that was around her "Tara?" the light surged bright white then blue again "Yes" Willow closed her eyes and the tears swelled again "but....I.....thought you were dead" The light darkened "ssshhhhh don't worry just rest" as the light spoke this the birds started to slow down and the hummingbirds wings began beating so slow you could actually see them clearly the water froze in its tracks Willow looked around her at the changes "w-w-whats happening" The light wrapped around her again "shhhh just rest.....I will protect you" Willow looked around and closed her eyes and allowed the sweet world of sleep envelope her now limp body, her mind silent and at peace.

I have wished on every star that shot across my broken heart
I am still amazed that you came true
I have kissed a hundred lips
but none of them compare to this
I have found myself inside of you
you forgive my sad regrets
and I forgive myself

Willow opened her eyes and found her head resting on someone's lap she looked up and saw Tara smiling down at her, she blinked making sure she wasn't seeing things "your really here?......but what about the bullet?" Tara put her finger to Willow's lips "ssshhhh only now" she leaned down to kiss willow parting her mouth and exploring her mouth her kiss that of hunger and longing. Willow closed her eyes and fell into the kiss savouring and delighting in it feeling everything Tara felt in that one action....her hands shook and her eyes flew open finding no one there. "Tara?" Willow frantically searched for Tara "TARA???" her eyes widened and she screamed out "NO" falling back into the tree trunk sobbing she fell asleep again losing the real world to the blackness that awaited.

never give up on me
I will never give up on you
you're everything I need
oh just look at what we've been through

The world was bright and the world was awake pulling Willow from the black peaceful rest that she had been in her eyes fluttered open and looked up at the tree leaves as they blew in the sweet summer air. A bee buzzed above her and as she pulled her body up she found carved into the trunk "No More Tears" as willow ran these words through her head tears began to roll down her cheeks....but not tears of grief, they were tears of joy. Tara was still with her and she would bring her back for good she knew she could, she had to there was no other choice. Willow stood and ran off into the woods back to town somehow knowing which way to go and as she left the glen she looked back and smiled "I love you"

never give up on me
I will never give up on you
you're everything I need
oh just look at what we've been through
I love you
