Xena woke just before dawn and went fishing. She came back with a trout and some minnows.
By then, Gabrielle was awake and the fire was roaring. Xena felt the familiar wave of happiness at the sight of her lover.
She wanted Gabrielle to know how much Xena loved her so she got out a scroll and began writing a song for Gabrielle.
"What are you writing?" The whispered question, just inches from her ear, made Xena jump in surprise.
"It's nothing." Xena said, hastily rolling up the scroll.
She saw Gabrielle's hurt expression and sighed. "Fine," she grumbled.
Xena took a breath and began to sing.
Sparks fly it's like fire to me
I might die, when I forget how to breathe
You get closer and there is nowhere
in this world I'd rather be
Time stops like everything around me is frozen
And nothing matters but these
Few moments when you open
my mind to things I've never seen
Gabrielle's eyes widened to the size of dinars.
Cause when I'm kissin you my senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place you're all that it takes
My doubts fade away when I'm kissing you
When I'm kissin you it all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes when I'm kissin you
Past loves they never got very far
Walls up, made sure I guarded my heart
And I promise I wouldn't do this
Till I knew it was right for me
But no one, no girl that I met before
Could make me feel so right and secure
And have you noticed I lose my focus
And the world around me disappears
Xena saw Gabrielle's eyes glaze over with the first covering of tears.
Cause when I'm kissin you my senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place you're all that it takes
My doubts fade away when I'm kissing you
When I'm kissin you it all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes when I'm kissin you
I've never felt nothing like this
You're making me open up
No point in even trying to fight this
This feeling's gotta be love
Tears slowly slid down Gabrielle's cheeks and Xena hurried to finish the song.
Cause when I'm kissin you my senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place you're all that it takes
My doubts fade away when I'm kissin you
When I'm kissin you it all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes when I'm kissin you
Xena finished the song and drew a sobbing Gabrielle into her arms.
The bard clutched at Xena and cried into her chest.
Between delighted sobs, Gabrielle managed a small, "Thank you…"
Xena stroked the honey red hair and whispered, "I love you Gabrielle. I always will."
