"The Best Part"

Written by: Doctor Strangelove

Brainstorm
Take me away from the norm

Sometimes when life is going on, you just want to step back and reflect. Step back and think about the things that matter. The people that matter. The people you love, and the ones who love you. I like to think about Tara. The greatest love I have ever known.

I got to tell you something

She was amazing. The most beautiful being I've ever laid my eyes on. And she loves me. She loves me as much as I love her, more than life it self.

This phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
And it goes like

I love everything about her. Especially her hair.

Whoa amber is the color of your energy
Whoa shades of gold displayed naturally

I know that seems like a weird thing to fixate on, but I do. I love the way her golden hair shines in the sun. How it shimmers. I love running my hands through it. Feeling it trail down my body. Soft and silky, there's nothing like it.

You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why

She's always in my thoughts. I never stop thinking about her. She is so brave, she sacrificed herself to Glory to protect Dawn. No thought of her own well being, just the protection of her friend. I've never met anyone like her.

Whoa amber is the color of your energy
Whoa shades of gold displayed naturally

I still come back to her hair.

Whoa amber is the color of your energy
Whoa shades of gold displayed naturally

In a weird way her hair reminds me of everything about her. She gives off a golden light that spreads to everything. Her entire essence is a golden, and I can't get enough of her.

You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway

She's my one and only, my everything. I don't know what I'd do without her.

Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right

Well, about a year ago I did. When she got brain-sucked by the hell-god.

Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you gotta fight

And then I avenged her. I went out and took that bitch on. I did pretty good too. Anyone tries to hurt my baby and they're gonna deal with me.

Whoa amber is the color of your energy
Whoa shades of gold displayed naturally

Especially her hair. I love that part of her so much. It's the best part.

Launched a thousand ships in my heart
So easy
Still it's fine from afar
And you know that

Now we're talking and I'm barely paying attention. I mumble little answers, but all my attention is focused on her hair. A crazy little thing, but I love her so much. I focus on the little things. The little things are the best part of being in love.

Whoa brainstorm take me away from the norm

Oh, well back to reality. Back to Tara. I'm so glad we're back together.

Whoa I got to tell you something

We walk over to the window to look outside. I smile and see Xander and Buffy down there. "You think they're making up?" I ask.

Tara smiles, "I hope so. That's the best part."
