-------------------------------------------

Tommy tried to avoid Kimberly for the next few days. The minute Janice and Thomas came home Tommy informed her that he was ready to leave for Manchester, but the flight was scheduled on the night of Valentine's Day. Janice and Thomas were okay with the decision of their son finishing off High School in Europe, but they couldn't understand what suddenly caused Tommy to change his mind. On the day of Valentine's Day, Tommy couldn't bring himself to say goodbye to his friends because they didn't know he was leaving. As they were preparing to pack up, Tommy went to the post office to mail out a package and at last minute, he decided to go to Kimberly's house.

He watched from a far distance as he saw Kimberly, Courtney, Kim's mom, some of the bridesmaids, and the bride Demi going into the limo. Tommy was admiring how beautiful Kimberly looked in her bridesmaid dress. It was a light rose colored strapless dress that was criss-crossed at the back. To him, he had never imagined Kimberly looking magnificent in anything and by staring at her, he suddenly felt something different. But he had to control his feelings now. Inside, he was aching at the fact that she maybe the reason he's leaving, but he cared about her too much. The dark secrets of his mother's past and the incident at Nathan Hart's wedding seventeen years ago had completely destroyed him. As he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Kimberly.

"Tommy! Tommy!" Kim yelled, "Tommy wait!"

"Kimberly," Tommy smiled, "Wow…you look beautiful."

"What happened to you the other day?" Kim asked, "It was like…you just got up and left all of a sudden. You had me worried Tommy…why did you leave all of a sudden? You didn't know how much you hurt me by doing that! Are you that inconsiderate Tommy Oliver?"

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to upset you that badly," Tommy replied giving her a hug, "I didn't mean to have you worried so much. Something just came up that's all. Do you believe me?"

"I do…I know you wouldn't lie to me about anything right?" Kim asked.

"Why would I lie to you Beautiful?" Tommy asked, "This is the first time I've actually seen you in something formal. You look amazing Kimberly. I really love it on you."

"I'm going to be in this dress the whole entire day," Kim replied, "At least you get to see me in a bridesmaid gown for once." As Kimberly was trying to adjust the back of her dress, she accidentally elbowed Tommy causing him to drop his watch on the floor and break.

"Oh crap my watch!" Tommy yelled in shock, "Blasted battery broke again!"

"Tommy I am so sorry about your watch! I didn't mean it honestly. I was just trying to fix my dress…and I didn't know! I am so sorry! Listen…here take this! I owe you for this!" Kimberly took her wristwatch off and she placed it on Tommy's wrist.

"Kim…I can't take this! You need this more than I do!"

"Listen to me…you need this more than I do. Besides I can't wear it today, so I'm lending it to you. I suppose…judging by what you're wearing you can't make it today?"

"Yeah…something happened. There's a family emergency."

"I would have expected it. I'll tell you what…you keep my watch today and you can return it to me tonight. Remember?"

"That I wouldn't forget," Tommy smiled as he held her hand, "I…promised you I'll be there and I'll give you back your watch. But are you sure you still want to meet? It's your brother's wedding today."

"Tommy…we always keep our promises to each other," Kim smiled, "Remember you were going to tell me your favorite animal. I am also going to tell you something also. I'll be waiting for you. I promise I will wait for you."

"Okay…I promise I will come," Tommy said as he left, "If I don't come…wait, forget that. I will come. I'll know where to find you because of that beautiful dress you're wearing. I promise I'll see you wearing it."

"I'll wait for you," Kim smiled as she headed to the limo, "Where the stars go blue."

"I know where to find you," Tommy smiled, "Take care Beautiful." As Tommy saw Kimberly go into the limo to the church, deep down he knew one thing…despite everything that happened or the possible aftermath Tommy knew he can't leave tonight without seeing Kimberly one last time, but the question is how?

-------------------------------------------

The wedding at St. Matthew's church that afternoon was wonderful. Everyone from the bride and groom's families came to witness Kenny Hart and Demi Raymond join together in holy matrimony. To Kimberly, her soon to be sister-in-law looked marvelous in her wedding gown. She looked like a princess with the veil and donning the white tube-top wedding gown. She can see the look on her brother's face as his bride came walking down the aisle to join him.

Kimberly felt so happy for her brother Kenny and Demi as they were announced Mr. and Mrs. Kenny Hart by the minister. Kimberly's mother welcomed her new daughter-in-law Mrs. Demi Raymond-Hart into their family. Kimberly embraced her brother as she wished him the best of luck as a newlywed husband. She was hoping one day she cam having a fantasy wedding like her brother's in a church.

At the wedding reception, everyone watched the happy newlyweds share their first dance. But Kim's mind was off somewhere else that entire day. She didn't want to put a damper on her brother's big day since he finally married the love of his life. Kim's mother watched proudly at her son finally beginning a new chapter of his life as families and friends were at the reception talking about their favorite moments of the newlyweds and giving their congrats, including Kimberly. The whole wedding reception became an awakening for Kimberly. Watching her brother Kenny and Demi finally married and in love made her realize what she desired to do tonight. For most teenagers no one didn't have a common idea of what love is. But for Kimberly...it was something she didn't expect.

"Am I sure this is what I want?" Kim thought to herself, "I wonder…if he's going to tell me? What does my heart tell me? I'm 17 years old and I'm...in love. Oh my gosh! I, Kimberly Ann Hart am in love…with Thomas James Oliver. But am I really in love with him?" Unfortunately, how was she going to tell him? She sat alone at the table and looked outside to see it was getting dark. Her new sister-in-law Demi came to check up on her.

"Hey teenager," Demi smiled, "For my new sister-in-law, you seem to be lost in thought at the moment. This is suppose to be a day of celebration. What seems to be on your mind?"

"Can I ask you something Demi?" Kim replied.

"Go ahead as my first act as sister-in-law I can start helping up my teenage in-law here. After all, we're now family."

"I know many will say I am too young and I don't know anything yet. But I assure of something…I know what it feels like now when you realize you're in love. Demi…how do you know when you love someone?" Kim asked, "If you love someone, how will you know it's real? How do you know that it's not puppy love, but it's the real thing? I've been thinking about it for quite awhile now…and after seeing you and Kenny get married, it made realize."

"That's the beauty of love Kimberly…you don't know when it happens until you realize it and feel it," Demi smiled, "You know you'll love the person if you know deep in your heart that you mean it and that it's real. You will realize you're in love if there is something special between two people. It's nice to be young and in love. I sympathize for you Kimberly. I know you'll find someone out there who will be your first love and he'll hold that special place in your heart. Look what happened to me today? I just married the love of my life."

"I can't believe…that I found my first love. At 17 years old…I realized what it's like to be in love now. Demi can you do me a favor?" Demi noticed that Kimberly was looking towards the window.

"You're…going to go meet your first love aren't you? I'm not going to stop a woman in love from the call of true love. I can cover for you teenager."

"Thanks…and I don't know what I'd do without having you for a sister-in-law Demi," Kim smiled as she got up and left, "Demi, thank you."

"No problem teenager," Demi said, "Kimberly, remember say what matters. Let it come from the heart. Don't be afraid and take that leap of faith in the name of love. Make sure you leave a good impression girl. Don't worry, he'll notice you judging by what you're wearing. Just say what matters in the heart. Good luck."

Kimberly headed to the Downtown Angel Grove Plaza as planned on Valentine's Day. She was still in her bridesmaid gown. As she sat in front of the fountain, all she had to do was wait. It was going to be tonight. This will be the moment of the night…where she'll declare her love for Tommy. She wanted to tell him for all these months. She finally found her first love...Tommy Oliver. Kimberly now knew what her heart desired and what she is feeling right now. This was going to be the biggest step she was going to take. As the hours passed, Kimberly just sat there and waited. As many of the citizens passed by, Kimberly soon began to wonder where Tommy was. "I know he'll keep his promise," Kim thought to himself. She had to made sure in her mind Tommy will find her and then she'll declare her true intentions. The hours kept passing as she sat there and waited. All she was hoping was for Tommy to come.

-------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the Olivers were already ready and packed to leave for the airport. After the last of the luggage was loaded, Tommy and his parents entered the taxi as they pulled out from the driveway. As they drove out of the street, Tommy looked back to see the house until it was completely out of sight. The whole entire duration of the car ride was silent. Janice and Thomas sat beside each other while Tommy just stared out of the window. Realizing that he was leaving Angel Grove behind made him feel sad. There are some things he couldn't forget. As he rolled up the sleeve of his jacket, he remembered…Kimberly's wristwatch…his promise to her. Looking at it, Tommy realized he couldn't leave Angel Grove yet...not without knowing his heart's desire. He didn't care about everything that happened recently, what mattered was what he wanted now. Whether if the truth is true or not, he was willing to take that.

"Mom, turn the taxi around," Tommy demanded, "Dad please ask the driver to turn back! I need to go somewhere quickly first!"

"What?" Janice replied shock, "Tommy what's going on?"

"Please turn the car back!" Tommy yelled, "I need to go somewhere quickly! I need to see someone first…it's important!"

"Is something the matter?" the driver asked.

"Janice!" Thomas replied confused, "What the hell is going on Tommy?"

"Nothing driver…don't stop," Janice demanded, "Just drive please straight to the airport! Just call them on the plane. We can't stop! We have a flight to catch in about 2 hours. We don't have time for detours!" As the car stopped at a red light Tommy couldn't wait any longer. Without saying a word Tommy got out of the car quickly. He saw another taxi across the street and quickly got into it before his parents could stop him.

"Tommy! Tommy!" his parents yelled, "Where are you going? Tommy! Thomas James Oliver come back! Tommy!"

"To Downtown Angel Grove Plaza!" Tommy yelled as he was in the other taxi cab, "Quickly please! I need to get there fast!" As the taxi arrived to the Downtown Angel Grove area, it was already traffic as it is. The roads were jammed from front to back.

"Just let me out here!" Tommy replied as he paid the driver and got out, "Thank you."

Back at the Plaza, Kimberly was still waiting on Tommy to arrive. It was coming close to about 11pm and soon her mother would probably discover she was missing. Kim began to worry as for the last 3 hours Tommy didn't show up yet. "Tommy, where are you?" Kimberly thought to herself, "I'll be waiting…where are you?" Meanwhile, Tommy was desperately running through the streets to the Plaza to meet Kimberly. A little while ago, he got out of a cab that was suppose to be heading to the airport, but he realized that he couldn't leave without telling Kim how he really felt…that he loved her.

Whether or not the truth is true or false, he still felt she needed to know his true feelings. Tommy was running across the street nearly avoiding getting hit by speeding cars. He was about nearly 5 blocks away from the plaza. Suddenly as he stepped out to cross to the other side of the street, Tommy didn't see a truck coming towards him. Unfortunately it was too late for him to react as he suddenly began to see a white light blind him. Everything in my mind went from white to darkness as he began to lose consciousness. With all of that happen in Tommy's mind, his thoughts were only focused on one thing that mattered to him.

"Kimberly…" With that last thought, everything went completely black.

At the moment, Kimberly just gave up. She waited all night for Tommy to show up and he never came. For the first time…Tommy managed to revert back to his old self and forget about their meeting. Sadly, Kimberly just gave up and went back to the wedding reception. Luckily it was still going on until about midnight and the newlywed couple retreated to their hotel for their wedding night. After the reception was done, Kimberly went home with her mother and Courtney. They drove through Downtown Angel Grove, but they were caught in traffic. Kim just sat there quietly and she didn't even look outside to notice an accident on the road. But the accident caught Courtney's attention, but Kim didn't care. Later on upon arriving home, Kim went to bed with only one thought on her mind. "What happened to you Tommy?" She thought as she fell asleep, "You promised to be there…where were you?"

-------------------------------------------

The next day, Kimberly arrived at school a bit early. She wanted to see Tommy and ask him what happened last night. But she was afraid to ask her boyfriend, or even yet confront about the fact that she nearly spent half the night waiting for him for nothing. She was going through her mind rehearsing what she was going to say to him. As she entered homeroom, for some reason Kimberly found all of her classmates filled with glum faces, including her friends. She didn't know what was going on, but telling by the looks on their faces, it felt like something tragic has happened. She went to her seat and she saw her friends crying and for some reason, it troubled her.

"Hey…what's going on?" Kim asked in a concern voice, "Is something the matter? You guys look like as if someone died."

"You…don't know what happened last night?" Rocky sighed, "I guess…you didn't hear yet."

"It was my brother's wedding last night," Kim replied, "Someone…please tell me what's going on will you because I'm beginning to freak out."

"Kimberly…it's about Tommy," Adam sighed softly, "Something…happened."

"What about Tommy? Guys someone tell me. What…is this about Tommy?"

"Kimberly…Tommy's dead!" Kat cried out, "Tommy died in a traffic accident last night near Downtown Angel Grove! He was hit by a truck! I'm sorry but Tommy died last night!"

"WHAT? TELL ME…YOU'RE NOT JOKING ME?" Kimberly started sobbing, "SOMEONE…TELL ME THIS IS NO SICK JOKE? TOMMY…CAN'T BE DEAD? SOMEONE ANSWER ME! IT'S NOT TRUE!"

"I'm…so sorry Kim," Aisha cried as she lowered her head, "Tommy's…dead Kim. Kaplan announced it…this morning right before you came in at the bell."

"I'm sorry…I need to get out of here," Kim started sobbing again as she ran out, "I…need to be alone…I can't be here." With that Kimberly ran out of the classroom but Billy followed her.

"Kimberly!" Billy yelled as he grabbed her, "Kimberly stop! Kimberly!"

"LET ME GO BILLY!" Kim cried, "LET ME GO PLEASE! I NEED TO BE ALONE!"

"I know it's hard Kim but you got to accept it," Billy sighed as he tried to comfort a distraught Kim, "I'm so sorry…but Tommy's dead."

"HE CAN'T BE DEAD…HE PROMISED HE'LL MEET ME! TOMMY WAS SUPPOSE TO MEET ME LAST NIGHT…HE PROMISED TO BE THERE! HE CAN'T BE DEAD….THIS IS ALL JUST A BAD DREAM! I SAW HIM YESTERDAY! HOW…CAN HE BE DEAD TODAY! HE…WAS ALIVE YESTERDAY!"

"I know Kim," Billy sighed as he hugged Kim, "I know…you miss him. I know it's hard to accept the truth of Tommy's death. I'm sorry Kim."

"DON'T SAY HE'S DEAD! YOU'RE LYING TO ME BILLY! STOP TELLING ME TOMMY'S DEAD! I'M NOT GOING TO BELIEVE TOMMY'S DEAD…BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T BREAK HIS PROMISE TO ME! I KNOW HIM SO WELL…OH GOD! I CAN'T…BELIEVE HE'S DEAD! GOD…I CAN'T BELIEVE TOMMY'S GONE! I…DIDN'T SEE IT COMING!"

"Just let it all out Kimberly," Billy sighed as the others tried to comfort a distraught Kim, "We'll be here for you. Don't worry…we'll help you see you through this. Just let it all out."

At school, Mr. Kaplan gathered the students into the gymnasium for a little eulogy in memory of Tommy. It was hard for the other Rangers, especially Kimberly to come to terms with Tommy's death. The others got note from Alpha at the Command Center that they informed Jason, Trini, and Zack about Tommy's accident. It shocked them all, especially Jason. Next to Kimberly, Jason was also close to Tommy as they were best friends. It was hard for the others to cope with not having Tommy around. Alpha informed the Rangers that Jason, Trini, and Zack were coming back to town. Neither of them didn't know where the actual funeral was going to be since the Olivers decided to host a private funeral in a dislocated area. The teens decided to host their own funeral for Tommy by the lake and make a little memorial in his memory. The only problem was…what were they going to do about Kimberly?

-------------------------------------------

Kimberly couldn't bring herself to talk to anyone for days. Ever since she found out about Tommy's death, she hasn't been the same. It was hard for the others to comfort her. They tried to visit Kimberly, but all Kim does is just locked herself in her bedroom and listen to "First Time." It was her favorite song…her and Tommy's favorite song. No one couldn't understand how hard it was for Kim to deal with Tommy's death. She didn't want to speak about it to her mother nor her cousin. Her family tried their best talk to Kimberly, but all she can do is cry. Realizing and trying to cope with Tommy's death Kimberly realized that she lost what she desired to have…her first love. Tommy was her first love…and she never had the chance to tell him that. It was hard for the others to get Kim to talk. They didn't know that Kimberly finally found her first love at 17 years old…only to lose him that suddenly. Inside, she now felt that empty void inside her heart…the one that will forever leave a scar.

Meanwhile, Jason, Trini, and Zack returned to Angel Grove to help out with the team's funeral service for Tommy. They wouldn't call it an actual funeral, but the team decided to hold their own private eulogy at the lake a few days later. The girls worked on a little memorial shrub for Tommy and planted it within the lake gardens towards the sidewalk path. They managed to prepare a plaque with Tommy's name next to the plants. When the day of the eulogy came, the Rangers gathered at the lake bringing with them a paper lantern boat, green and white candles, a lighter, and a few momentums that belonged to Tommy. They managed to convince Kimberly to come out…but she still wasn't herself.

"Okay…none of us here are good with words aren't we?" Trini sighed, "Usually…I'm not fond of proper burials, but instead this will be some sort of final sendoff for Tommy in the afterlife. I talked with Adam who found some sort of way to give Tommy a proper sendoff."

"Okay shall we get started then?" Adam asked, "First thing is first…we can start lighting up the candles." With that, each of the Rangers took a candle and they began to light it.

"Now what happens next?" Zack asked.

"I'm…not really good at this stuff," Adam sighed, "From my culture…the next thing we do is…if anyone has anything that used to belong to Tommy's we can burn as an offering or something like that. I'm…not sure how it works."

"All I got here is one of his old karate belts…I don't know if that will help," Kim sighed.

"I got some old study notes Tommy lent me," Jason said as he took out the notes from his pocket, "I…found them the other day in my room."

"We found one of Tommy's old patches," Billy and Zack sighed, "I think…it was from one of his karate outfits. It…might have fallen off so we kept it."

"That can do," Trini said as Rocky and Billy brought out an eulogy tub that the girls decorated for the memorial service, "I guess…we just put it in there and burn it. After that…once the fire dies out we'll release the ashes out into the lake."

"Okay," the others sighed as they placed all the stuff that they belong to Tommy in the bowl quietly, "Just…give us the signal to burn it." After a few moments of silence, they all surrounded the tub and carefully, they began to light it as the flames started engulfing all the items belonging to Tommy. Each of them just stood there quietly as they watched the stuff burn. Everyone was in tears, but Kat noticed that Kim just stood there quietly, without saying a word. The odd thing was…she wasn't crying.

"How can you cannot cry huh?" Kat yelled at Kim, "Tommy died trying to meet to you…and all you can do is stand there without saying anything! Can you be that thoughtless Kimberly? If Tommy didn't have risked going downtown on Valentine's Day…he would still be alive here with us, and even with you for that matter! Why can't you cry knowing that…you might have been the cause of his death? If you cared about his wellbeing…then maybe none of this might have never happened Kimberly!"

"Kat stop!" Jason replied defending his friend, "It wasn't Kim's fault for Tommy's accident! It was a bloody idiotic truck driver that was to blame for Tommy's death! Kim didn't know anything like this was going to happen…none of us did! Don't blame her for what happened to Tommy okay? She's just as suffering as much as we all are!"

"I didn't…mean it," Kat sighed, "Kimberly? I…didn't mean what I said."

"You should understand Kat that Tommy cared about Kim a lot," Jason added, "Tommy would have done anything for Kim. He meant something to her, as she meant something to him."

"Okay guys let's stop this," Aisha replied, "Let's finish this off and go home…it's getting a bit out here."

"Fine let's finish this," Trini and Adam sighed, "C'mon let's go stand by the lake and cast the lantern boats off. Just wait a few moments and once the fire in the tub burns out everyone collect some of the ashes and we'll release it into the lake along with the lantern boats."

"So is everyone ready?" Rocky said, "The fire is already out now. We'll just let the tub cool down and we'll cast it off. Let's go stand by the lake now and…give Tommy a proper sendoff."

"Okay," the others replied, "It's time…to send Tommy off." Trini and Adam had everyone make paper lanterns boats. Each of them lit it up a lantern and one by one they began casting them into the lake. The last lantern which contained a green and white candle was finally lit up. They had Kim cast the paper lantern boat represent Tommy off into the lake. Jason helped her push the lantern boat off the shore of the lake as the others started taking the ashes and scattering them into the lake. Everyone stared at the lanterns and the ashes being taken by the current of the water and the wind blowing the ashes towards the lake.

"Farwell Tommy!" the others started yelling, "We'll remember you, old friend!"

"Goodbye…Tommy," Kim quietly said, "I promise…wherever you are…I promise…you'll always have my heart with you."

-------------------------------------------

After the eulogy was finished, everyone quietly left and headed home. Jason offered to drive Kimberly back to her house. She didn't say much as he knew that she was still hurting. Now that they have given Tommy a proper sendoff, the hard part was yet to come…trying to move on with their lives. Jason knew that for Kimberly, it was going to be difficult. Although he had been away for months and both Tommy and Kim would write to him , Trini, and Zack on the status of their relationship, he knew that something about Valentine's Day night was suppose to something special for them. Kimberly didn't want to talk about it, but Jason was being insisted that she opened up about her feelings. Once they arrived at Kim's house, he pulled up the car into the driveway.

"Are you going to be okay Kimberly?" Jason asked.

"I…think I will," Kim quietly sighed, "I…think I'll be fine Jas. Thanks for everything."

"Kimberly…I know you've been through a lot," Jason added, "But I know how much you miss Tommy…so do I. He was my best friend and suddenly…he just left like that. It shows you how precious life can be. I know Tommy meant something to the both of us."

"He never knew…he'll never know now," Kim started crying, "Now I'll…never get the chance to tell him. Tommy…was my first love. That's why it hurts so much Jason. You don't know what it's like now to find your first love and suddenly…lose them just like that! I couldn't tell anyone this because they wouldn't understand. I loved him…and how can I go on now knowing that all I got left is a memory of him? I don't have anything of value I can remember him by! God I fell in love with him…only to have it taken from me! Now I'll never know how he truly felt!"

"It's okay Kimberly it's okay," Jason sighed as he started hugging her, "I understand how you're feeling. I can see now…Tommy truly was your first love. He would have felt the same way about you too Kim. Even if you two never had the chance to truly say it, you know because deep down you meant everything to him. Tommy said that you're the one thing in his life that couldn't live without. You were the one person that was missing in his life. He found solitary and happiness…through you. That's how you know he truly loved you. You were his first love Kim. He maybe gone but as long as you keep his memory in your heart…he'll never be gone."

"I…don't know if I can handle going on without him? It's like…now something is missing and all I got is this black void in my heart. How am I going to get through this?"

"You know you still got us Kim," Jason said, "No matter what happens…I'll always be here for you. Remember, you can always turn to me for help. I promise you Kim…we'll get through this together okay?"

"Will you promise me that? You're all I…got left I can talk to. Promise me Jason?"

"I promise…and I'll promise to look after you, for Tommy's sake. We'll keep that promise for both of us and for Tommy. He'll probably want us to for him."

"Thank you Jason," Kim sighed as she gave Jason a kiss on the cheek, "I'll be okay. I…can take it from here."

After Kim got out of the car, Jason pulled off from the driveway as Kimberly quietly walked inside. Kimberly slowly walked into her bedroom as she was getting ready to go to bed. She noticed that there was a package on her desk. She didn't know where it came from but it address to her and with that she began to open it. Kimberly found a wooden carved rose in there. Next, she found a Valentine's Day card from Tommy. She probably guessed this was Tommy's Valentine's present to her. It made her heart cry inside.

"God…I wish you were here," Kim quietly replied, "Tommy."

As she was about to put the package away, she noticed that there was a cassette tape inside the package. She didn't notice it. Kimberly took out the cassette tape and put it into her stereo as she listened to it. As she waited a few moments, she nearly broke down in tears again she heard Tommy's voice as she heard their song "First Time" in the background.

"Hey Beautiful Happy Valentine's Day!" Tommy's voice replied happily on the tape, "I hope you're surprised to be hearing me do this! I know that this is a bit awkward of me but you know me…I like to keep a low profile. Kimberly, this is our first time spending Valentine's Day together. As you can see I'm playing the record you gave me and it made me realize something…I need to return the promise I made to you at the cabin."

"Oh Tommy," Kim sighed as she continued to listen, "Why aren't you here with me?"

"Kimberly, this is my surprise to you…I hope you like I," Tommy replied on tape, "All I ask from you Beautiful is one thing…I want you to be happy. You don't know how proud I am of having such a wonderful person in my life. You mean everything to me. No matter what happens…always know that I will be there for you. Always follow your dreams Kim and know…that I will support you every step of the way."

"Now here's my gift to you Kim," the tape continued, "It's my turn to serenade you for Valentine's Day. I know that this is the last thing you would expect from me…but believe me I managed to prepare myself for this. I always loved how your music serenaded me, it's my turn to serenade you. I wrote this song for you. I hope you like your present." As Kim listened to the tape, she began to hear Tommy sing for the first time:

"Find me here
and speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
you are the light
that's leading me
to the place
where I find peace again

you are the strength
that keeps me walking
you are the hope
that keeps me trusting
you are the life
to my soul
you are my purpose
you're everything

Chorus:
and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this yeah

you calm the storms
and you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
take me deeper now

(Repeat Chorus x2)

You're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything(x4)

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this(x3)"

"Oh God Tommy…thank you so much," Kim cried as she laid her head on the desk and started sobbing as she heard Tommy sing, "Tommy…you'll always be my first love. I can't…say goodbye now. What am I going to do…without you now?"
