A/N : Inspiration for actual fic is still lacking and so the poetry is still a-flowing! Thanx to everyone who reviewed on Saviour. This is another Buffy POV, this timefor the episode Chosen - Hope you like. (Joss owns all the good stuff realted to BtVS)

Clarity

There comes this one moment,
Can't hear it or see it,
But it's perfectly clear,
At long last you feel it.

Just one tiny moment,
The world stopped and stood still,
Despite the destruction,
Many demons to kill.

I blink, almost miss it,
It is gone, over now,
My eyes remain on him,
And he knows it somehow.

He turns to glance at me,
He sees it and knows it.
Though I open my mouth,
I just as soon close it.

Move to meet each other.
A slight smirk, a shy smile.
Just a few feet apart,
But it feels like a mile

Open my mouth again,
It's all wrong, the words stick.
He shakes his head at me,
I feel painfully sick.

My three words get out there,
He smiles but can't believe.
Why I treated him badly,
I just cannot conceive.

It's too late for more words,
Hell falling as I run.
I know it's all over,
But I'm completely numb.

I wanted him to know,
Hope his denial was fake,
Cos I meant every word,
His own, too much to take.

There's no way to be sure,
If he knew. Damn the fates!
My moment of clarity,
Had to come far too late.
