Now baby there are times when selfishly
I wishin that you were here with me
So I can wipe the tears from your eyes and make you see

That every night when you are dreamin
I'm here to guard you from afar
And anytime I feel in love
I'll close my eyes and dream of where you are

where you are

Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin back at me (you'll be smilin back at me)

Only then will I be free
Then I will be free,

Baby I still believe
Oh I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day

That you take me there
Where you are (where you are)
I still believe
Whoooooa, I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day

That you take me there
Where you are, oh where you are!
I still believe
I gotta believe
I still believe
I'll always be waiting here

That sweet day (that sweet day, yeah!)

I still believe......I still believe..
"Leo! You have to do something?" Julie exclaimed orbing in. She knew he felt it, Piper was going to die shortly.
"What do you want me to do Julie?!?! I don't have powers, no way to orb! I'm stuck here!" Leo exclaimed tears glistened his own eyes. He didn't know what to do.
"Take my powers Leo." Julie explained. They both knew it was possible to give another whitelighter their powers for a little while.
"If I let her die……… Then it might not be as long." Leo sighed.
"You are filling yourself with false hope Leo. You know as well as I do that when you commit suicide your soul is condemned to another part. If she dies you will never see her again. I know you don't want Piper to die." Julie replied. Leo blinked back tears knowing what he had to do. He couldn't be selfish she was needed on earth. He would wait eternity for her.
"Lets do it." He sighed determined that this would work. Julie extended her hands and they grasped Leo's. A few seconds went by and their hands glowed. The light eliminated both their bodies. It then faded away into Leo's body.
"You don't have much time. Good luck." They hugged quickly and Leo orbed out.
"We got a call saying our sister was here?" Prue exclaimed worry evident all over her features. Phoebe was by her side just as worried.
"Name please." The nurse replied not looking up from her computer.
"Piper Piper Halliwell." Prue answered becoming impatient. She had to know if her sister was ok. So many troubled thoughts where running threw her mind.
"Yes if you would have a seat over there the doctors are working on her." The nursed replied pointing to the waiting area.
"What happened is she ok?" Phoebe questioned fully knowing they would give her no answers. That's how nurses always where.
"Wait for the doctor he will explain everything." She answered how Prue knew she would. Prue and Phoebe went over to the waiting room.
"Thanks for nothing." Phoebe sighed sitting down.
"Wait…" Prue muttered waiting being the last thing she wanted to do.
"Come on Miss. Halliwell don't leave us!" A doctor urged as the heart monitor went flat.
"She is losing to much blood." Someone conformed.
"She's not breathing." The doctor exclaimed starting CPR. Piper's soul lifted from her body. She knew what was happening after all she had almost died before. She again appeared in that bright-lighted area as she had before.
"Piper." Leo whispered he had been waiting for her. She turned around smiling widely there her Leo was, bathed in glowing light.
"Oh Leo." She exclaimed running to him. She wrapped her arms tightly around him leaning her head on his chest. "I love you so much." She sighed.
"Oh god me two." Leo replied totally engrossed in her sweet embrace. His eyes welled up in tears, as he knew what he had to do. "Piper take my hands." Leo whispered. Piper pulled away a bit confused at his reply.
"What?" She questioned hoping he wasn't doing what she thought he was.
"We don't have much time." Leo urged extending his hands.
"No Leo I'm not going back. I want to be with you." She replied.
"You have to Piper."
"No I don't. You have no idea what it is like the pain is so unbearable. And everyday it gets worse. People just expect me to move on but I can't. I can't live my life without you. It's impossible because you are my life. This way we we can be together." Piper cried bursting into tears. She grabbed onto him not wanting to lose him again.
"Of course I know what your going threw. All the same feelings are going threw me. This is so hard Piper but it's for the best." Leo smiled weakly lifting her chin up.
"No for once just let me have my way."
"You don't understand Piper….. If if you die then I will never see you again. People's souls who have committed suicide are condemned for all eternity to somewhere else. You you would be completely out of my reach. I I cant live an eternity without you….. This way we will end of back to each other…. Someday." Leo explained his own tears warming his cheeks. "If you truly love me you will let me heal you." Leo kissed her softly knowing it would be their last.
Piper placed her hands hesitantly into Leo's.
"This isn't the end." He whispered as a light began to glow. "I love you."
"I love you two." The light glowed brighter blinding the two. Her form disappeared from his view. He collapsed in tears…….
"Goodbye….. My love."
"Are you ok?" Leticia questioned Piper who had her head on the bar. Piper lifted it up to see her bar tender.
"Yeah fine." Piper muttered inside she was ripping apart. It had been two years exactly today. Two years without him by her side. She longed for him with all her heart but had kept it mostly to herself. Piper hadn't done a very good job moving on in the inside. She refused to go out with any guy that approached her. That would be like admitting he truly wasn't coming back. And she didn't think she could admit that ever. It turns out that Piper is an amazing actress though. She has hidden to her sisters that she is torn inside.
After the whole car incident that had happened two years before, her sisters had come very protective of Piper. Even though it happened so long ago. They where always around making sure she wouldn't attempt to do it again. They had been utterly shocked that Piper would do such a thing. Her sisters got so unbearable that Piper just pretended like she was over it.
"You seem down is there something I can do?" She questioned bring Piper back from her thoughts
"No nothing." Piper uttered staring into her sixth class of liquor. Tonight was the only night she knew she wouldn't be able to hold up the act. She always broke down on the anniversary. Tonight she couldn't escape.
"Well if you need a friend I'm here always here." Leticia said softly before walking back behind the bar to tend to costumers. Piper sighed so many people wanted to help but there was nothing they could do.
"So are you ok?" Prue asked over the loud music in P3. Piper hadn't even heard Prue come up behind her. She froze the whole place becoming frustrated.
"Why does everyone have to ask me that!?!" Piper questioned.
"Because you look like death ran over twice." Prue replied sitting down. She ran her hands throw Pipers long hair. "And because its today."
"I now and and I'm ok. I'll be ok after today." Piper replied tears flushing her eyes.
"You know I love you hunny and if you need help….."
"I know Prue I know." Piper replied hugging her sister. "Do you think you could lock up for me. I would like to be alone tonight." Piper asked hoping her sister would do this.
"Sure no problem…. But I really don't think you should be alone." Prue replied.
"I have to be." Piper answered grabbing her purse. She walked out of P3 without another word. Piper walked slowly home. Rain dropped from the sky wetting Pipers skin. She shivered as the wind picked up, tears mixing with the rainfall.
Piper walked in the door to the manor. She threw off her coat as she trudged up to her room. There she changed out of her cloths and flipped on the radio. She curled up onto her bed with Leo's shirt snuggled into her arms. Piper sobbed herself to sleep just wanting the night to be over.

You ask me, how am I?
Well I'm still standing, aren't I?
That's something, that's one thing that's gone my way
It's so hard, to go out, like everything ok now
When inside, I still cry for yesterday

This is my unhappy anniversary
But I lie, saying it's just another day
This is my unhappy anniversary, oh

I know it's so stupid to feel brokenhearted
I wonder if you know just how much I hurt
I drink up and think up a toast to numb the hours
To get through without you is so hard today
Cause it's

Repeat 1

And now it's near midnight, a few minutes and I
Return to get back to my former life
Pretending our ending was not so bad, I know that
It's time to escape you until next year
When it's

Repeat 1

This is my unhappy anniversary
But I smile like it's just another day
It's just my unhappy anniversary
It's just my unhappy anniversary

"I miss you Piper." Leo sighed tracing the outline of her in his picture. It had been two years and they hadn't let him leave this world. They never would innless he gave up or Piper wasn't on earth. But Leo wasn't planning on giving up any time soon. "Things will be ok." He muttered curling up on his bed. He grasped the picture tightly in a lame attempt to replace Piper. Tears trickled down his cheeks as he drifted off to sleep. Would things really be ok?

You will always be the one that I'll adore,
Mean so much to me, but things you were before,
Its you that makes me like this so,
Your eyes are open wide but still so much to see,
All that's new to you, seems so old to me,
Now I'm far away, a minute seems so long
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there
I'm gonna find a way to be so close to you
You don't know how much I care
Its just another day without you
It's just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear
I longing to hold you, feel you in my arms
Never let you go, far from me for long
Girl I promise you, my feelings are so strong
Eyes are open wide but still so much to see,
All that's new to you seems so old to me,
When I'm far away, a minute seems so long
It's just another day without you,
It's just another day that I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you
All this I'll give to you I swear,
If only you could read what's on my mind,
See right through my eyes,
You sooner realize,
It's just another day without you,
It's just another day that I'm not there,
I'm gonna give you my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear, its just another day without you,
It's just another day when I'm not there
I'm gonna find a way to be so close to you,
You don't know how much I care
"Oh Phoebe I'm going to be so late." Piper exclaimed running around the manor. "Where is my hair brush? Phoebe!"
"Right here right here." Phoebe smiled giving Piper her brush. "Pipe I'm so glad you decided to give this guy a chance. He seems really nice and it's about time you had some fun." Phoebe stated.
"Yeah I probably wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for you bugging me all the time." Piper replied brushing out the tangles in her hair.
"Your welcome now you will have a fantastic time." Phoebe laughed.
"I have to get dressed." Piper stated heading up the stairs. The doorbell rang as she reached the top step.
"Don't worry I will get it." Phoebe replied signaling for her sister to go get ready. Piper nodded running to her room.
Phoebe opened the door and gasped.
"Leo?!?!" She whispered half questioning. After a few minutes of utter shocked silence Phoebe came outside and shut the door behind her.
"I need to talk to Piper." Leo replied looking up to the window of her room.
"Leo…. You can't keep doing this. It took her almost this whole time you where gone to get back on her feet. She is finally ready to move on she finally is dating again. You you can't keep coming and disappearing out of her life. You know I love you but Piper can't take this. It seems that there is some greater force that doesn't want you two together." Phoebe replied knowing what she had to do.
"I know and if she doesn't want me back then I'll leave." Leo tried to explain.
"No you can't. Leo you did this with Dan and now again. No I won't let you. You promised in your letter that you would let her go. Keep your promise." Phoebe replied sternly.
"You know you can't stop me." Leo turned and walked away. Tears welled up in Phoebe's eyes. This was the best for Piper…. She hoped.
"Hey who was that?" Piper questioned coming down the stairs. She had on a beautiful short baby blue dress. Her hair neatly tucked into a bun.
"No no no one." Phoebe sighed whipping away the tears from her eyes. She was relieved when Piper didn't notice them.
"Well I'm meeting Jason at P3 so I better get going." Piper grabbed her purse and kissed Phoebe on the cheek. "You sure your ok?" Piper questioned noticing Phoebe was a bit distressed.
"Yeah fine. You go have fun." Phoebe put on a weak smile. Piper nodded and left for P3.
Phoebe picked up the phone and dialed Prue's cell.
"Hello." An annoyed Prue greeted on the other side. She was on a date and didn't need any interruptions.
"Prue I need to ask you something." Phoebe stated.
"Ok but make it quick." Prue answered.
"If say someone from someone's past visited and only one person knew about it….. Well should she tell the other two? Even if it may hurt one of the two. This is hypothetical of course." Phoebe asked. Prue laughed at her ingenious code.
"Ok who visited? Yes you should tell me." Prue replied. Phoebe was about to answer but something stopped her.
"Nevermind bye." With that she hung up.
"Piper can I speak to you?" Leticia asked.
"Sure I have a bit of time before Jason comes what's up?" Piper replied sitting down.
"Well I've been avoiding telling you this for a while. I feel we have become close friends." Leticia started.
"Yeah we have."
"I'm moving I want better things for my life. I want to become a doctor help others. And that means I can't work here anymore." Leticia explained.
"Oh wow a doctor that's wonderful." Piper hugged her. "You're going to be hard to replace. You have to call me and let me know how you're doing ok." Piper exclaimed.
"Of course. Looks like your dates her." Leticia stated pointing to a guy who just walked in.
"Right.. I'll talk to yeah later." Piper replied as Jason walked over to them. Leticia excused herself knowing Piper probably wanted to be alone with him. Well as alone as someone can be in a club.
"Hey you look amazing." Jason gasped at her beauty.
"Why thank you. Lets get a drink." Piper replied taking his hand. The two talked for a while having drinks. Piper was laughing so hard she was having more fun than she anticipated.
Meanwhile Leo stood near the doorway to P3. He couldn't keep away he just had to see her one more time. Even if it was to say goodbye. He had to make sure all the things Phoebe had said where true. And indeed they where she was happier than ever. His heart fluttered at her smile that had been missing from his life for so long. Tears ran down his cheeks he was to late. She had found happiness again. He wanted to with all his heart to go over there. Just to talk to her, just to hear her voice again. But he forced himself to stay right where he was. He made a promise in his letter and he always kept his promises.
"Forever Piper. I will never stop loving you." He whispered turning around.
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?

Don't they know, it's the end of the world,
If you don't love me anymore.

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?

Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,
Why everything's the same as it was.

And I can't understand, no I can't understand,
Why life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when we said goodbye.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,
Why everything's the same as it was.

Cuz I can't understand, no I can't understand,
Why life goes on the way it does.

Tell me, why does my heart go on beating.
And, why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don't they know it's the end of the world,
It ended when we said goodbye.

Why?
It ended when we said...goodbye.

Piper's ears perked up as if she heard Leo's words from where she was. She turned her head to the doorway. She gasped eyes opening wide. Could it be her Leo had returned. She got up forgetting about the man that was with her. Piper quickly pushed her way threw the crowd. Leo… if it was Leo was leaving. She couldn't let him go if it was truly him. He must have saw her with Jason and figured he was too late. She finally made it to the door and ran outside. But there was no one in sight.
"Leo!" She cried out. "Are you there! Leo! Please! Answer me!" Piper yelled. But there was only darkness. Not another soul anymore. She fell to her knees and started to sob. "I miss you….. Forever and always…. I love you." Piper whipped away her tears and went back into P3. She must have been seeing things she kept repeating to herself.
