It´s when

I feel you ,

look at you ,

or think about you ,

that I find myself

no longer able to breathe .

But I know I´ll be just fine -

because the only thing

I need to inhale

Is you .

You always hurt the people you love , Xena . You always did . Back when Lyseus died all you did was to walk away from what was happening , from those who needed you more than ever , just because you couldn´t stand the guilt . You abandoned the man that was willing to bring the sky down to the Earth for you just because you couldn´t explain his darkness . Well , are you happy now ?

Xena kept on tossing and turning all night long . She wasn´t able to sleep for a while now . The gigantic hole inside her chest wouldn´t allow her to do things properly anymore .

Not that there was much life to live from now on ...

When she took the decision of walking away from HIM , she was sure of what to expect . The unbearable hurt that would follow - but she ingored it .

Right now , she was paying the price ...

Suddenly , she felt a torturously addictive warmth spread all over her body , creep through her veins and reach her anguished heart , which was now pounding in an animalistic tempo . Her head was turning and when she opened her eyes all she could see was million , shiny stars wriggling around .

As the dizziness started to fade , she inhaled a deep breath after holding it for dear life . Her eyes widened in surprise and pure bliss the moment she located his demonic charming perfume . His presence filling the big black hole with sunlight . Dawn was born inside of her .

It was HIM ...

Like a little girl who have found her beloved father , she babyishly reached out to touch his perfectly framed features .

He looked as cute as a newborn puppy , eager to play with anybody .

Gods , she missed him so much ...

" You came ... " she whispered gently , a colossal smile painted on her face , reaching her ears .

" You called me , Princess . How could I resist "

He bent down to kiss her deeply and lovingly . Then plant thousand little kisses all over her face .

Tears were now rolling on Xena´s countenance . He osculate them away and then looked deep into her blue eyes .

" I can´t do that Xena . I can´t live without you . There´s no way for me to survive without having you to guide me . " he uncovered , extinguishing any trace of his pride and ego .

There was no room for those any longer . He didn´t even give a flying care , though .

" You won´t have to ... "
