And All I Ask
By: Tace
Summary: And all I ask is that you love me for one more night, because when tomorrow comes, I will leave, and I won't look back.
Pairing: Sam/Jack
Disclaimer: If I owned Stargate, Jack would not only be alive, he'd be married to Sam. Oh well. Guess it's not mine.
Dedication: To leeanah. My muse, my conscience, you don't work to well at times, but right now, you are the only reason this is here.
A/N: This came to me at like 9:30 at night on a night when I had to be up at 3 the next day, but I couldn't sleep without writing it. This has not been beta-d. Now, read, and PLEASE review.

All I ask is one more night, safe in your loving arms.
When it's done, I'll move on, but I won't forget you, and I pray that you won't forget me.
We know that it's against the rules, but rules are made to be broken.
We will both leave here tomorrow and go about our lives, growing stronger with each passing day.
Still, deep in our hearts, we know that one day we will meet again, and all our hard earned strength will disappear.
We know all this, and yet neither of us moves to break this loving embrace, for we would rather be together for one more night and face the pain that morning brings then to end our love while it's still easy.
Most people would call what we have sex. Multiple one night stands, with a single partner. An affair, even. We know better. This is love. Real true love, and it is stronger then life itself. But it will never last. It can't.
And all I ask is that you love me for one more night, because when tomorrow comes, I will leave, and I won't look back.
I know that you're a Colonel. A superior officer. I know that you are married, and I know you had a son. But above all that, I know that I love you, and I believe that you love me, your dedicated friend and Captain, Samantha.
That's what you call me. Samantha. You don't know my last name, though I know yours. And I hope that you never do find out my name. I love you too much to live with you being happy with another woman.
Morning has arrived even as I lie here wishing it never would. I rise from the bed. My bags are packed. I pick them and leave the room closing the door behind me, but not before leaving a note on the pillow. I hear the door lock, and walk to my car. I start to drive, and I never once look back. I love you too much to do so.
Your house is out of site, but still I drive. All the way back to my home. I open the door and climb the steps, tears beginning to fall down my cheeks. I collapse on my bed sobbing, my heart as if in millions of pieces, scattered on the street and being trampled by people too busy to help me out. I am alone now.
As I cry, I remember being with you. I remember loving you. Then I remember how you will wake, alone, with but a note to prove I was there.
Dearest Jack,
This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It's better this way, for both of us. I believe that we will meet again someday. Please, do not be angry with me. I love you, but we cannot be together. Please do not forget me. Fate's hand will pull us together again someday. Until then, goodbye.
Love always, Samantha
