* Oz! *

~Time~

* Times were great. *

^ "Hey I was thinking about asking you out, but I'm not sure how." Oz said coyly.
"Well, if it helps I'll say 'yes'." Willow replied nervously.
"Yeah it helps. Creates a comfort zone. So do you want to go out?" Oz asked feeling confident.
"Oh! I can't!" She said suddenly.
"Well it's good that you're unpredictable." He said a bit hurt.
"It's just that we're throwing a birthday party for Buffy." She said thinking a moment before continuing, "But you could come and be my date."
"I'd hate to impose." Oz said loving the idea of being Willow's date.
"No it'd be great." Willow said hoping that it would convince him into going.
"Okay, I'll see you then." Oz said smiling to the small red head.
"Bye." Willow said.
"Bye." Oz replied.
"I said Date!" She replied happily walking away. ^

~Sometimes time just slips away
And you're left with yesterday
Left with the memories~

* First kiss. *

^ "I'd still, if you'd still." She nervously said.
"Oh, I'd still." Oz said smiling.
Willow kisses Oz.
"A werewolf in love." Oz replied dreamily. ^

* His music, being his groupie.*

* Prom *

^ "How's the Prom?" Buffy asked after hugging Willow.
"Strangely affective, I got all teary when they played 'We Are Family'." Oz said jokingly. ^

* Graduation *

^ "How long before Graduation?" Willow asked. ^

~I, I'll always think of you and smile~
And be happy for the time I you with me~

* His cool and relaxing smile. Waking up next to him. *

^ "Come back to me, Willow." Oz whispered into the ear of the beautiful girl next to him. ^

* Never feeling alone. *

^ "Oh! On campus boyfriend." Willow said excitingly to her best friend Buffy.
"Oh and I forgot to get mine, I bet the line's really long for that too." Buffy replied sadly. ^

~Though we go our separate ways~
I wont forget so don't forget
The memories that we made~

* I can't believe it's really over. I'll never see his smiling face every morning and have it be the last thing at night. Is it really over or am I just dreaming? *

~Good-bye, there's just no sadder word to say
And it's just sad to walk away
With just the memories~

*He just kissed me good-bye and walked away. He didn't even look back to see that he was breaking my heart. *

^ "I have to do what's best for the band." Oz said calmly.
"So you're just leaving?" Willow said holding her tears.
"Yeah." Oz said putting his arms on her shoulders.
"When?" Willow asked almost afraid of the answer.
"Pretty much now." Oz answered leaning down to kiss her check. "Good-bye, Willow." He said turning and walking towards his van. ^

~Who's to know what might have been
We leave behind a life and time
We'll never know again~

* Maybe we weren't as perfect for each other as we once thought. Even if we were or weren't we're leaving behind the most memorable three years. *

~Please Remember
Please Remember~

* Oz! *

~When I was there for you
And you were there for me~

* We were always there for each other. Even during that time with Xander. *

^Yer going to do this spell fer me or I'll kill yer friend." A very drunk Spike demanded. "She left me. ME! Dru said I wasn't demon enough fer her" H replied leaning towards Willow. ^

^It's going to take time, Willow." Oz said trying to hide his emotions.
"Okay, we can get through it." Willow said glad that he didn't turn her away.
"Willow, I've got to do some thinking on my own." Oz said getting upset and needing to walk away. ^

~Please Remember
Our time together
When time was yours and mine~

* He helped me get over Xander. Now my hearts broken, because he's no longer here. *

~And we were wild and free
Please Remember Please Remember me~

* High School. *

^ "Who is that girl?" Oz found himself asking that question a lot. ^

~And remember please remember me~
And how we laughed
And how we smiled
And how this world was yours and mine
And how no dream was out of reach~

* The Mayor's Ascension. *

^ "Oz, don't you think you could care just a little?" Willow asked.
"You think I don't care?" Oz replied wondering why she thought that.
"I think that we could be dead in a couple of hours and you're being all cryptic guy." Willow whined lightly.
"Would it help if I panicked?" Oz asked.
"Yes! Panicking is something two people can do....What are you doing?" Willow asked after the kiss broke.
"Panicking." Oz said simply before returning to her lips. ^

~I stood by you, you stood by me
We took each day and made it shine
We wrote our names across the sky
We ran so fast we ran so free
And I had you and you had me~

* I will never forget, Oz. Never. *

~Please Remember~
