Spoilers: Brief mention of a scene from "Hush". You could say this story takes place later in the afternoon, but PRIOR to the next morning. Did I confuse you?
It started this afternoon, with the Wicca group I joined.
She was there.
I... I've wanted to talk to her for awhile now. She seems so interested in Magicks, not like the rest. I started to say something earlier but I couldn't. I can't help being shy, it's a part of who I am. I get kind of nervous.
Anyway... her name is Willow.
I like it.
It suits her.
Wil-low.
It's nice.
When I close my eyes and say her name out loud, my face breaks into a smile. I haven't said anything to her, I want to, but I'm scared.
Scared of what she might say.
Willow
I said it softly, just to hear it.
I know, or rather I think I like her.
She seems so nice. I'd never have the nerve to actually talk to her. I mean what would I say.
'Hi, I'm Tara. I'm a sort-of witch,' I shake my head thinking that.
I've seen her with this
girl, I think her name is... Buffy. I'm not exactly sure. I
can say that she and Willow have a very strong bond, I can
see that easily. Sometimes I wish I had the same thing,
someone who'd be there for me.
I've ah... I wrote
something for her, I haven't shown it to anyone.
But I feel safe enough to
put in here, so here goes.
"In my dreams I am safe,
for you are with me, In your arms I am secure, for you hold
me In your hands I place my heart, for you love me. I wake
from my dream and long for you, I ache for the touch I have
never known Your love is... not mine to have.
In my dreams I achieve
perfection...
For in your
eyes
I see the love I have
reflected."
I know... it's not much,
but it might be better than the one I started and never
finished.
Talk about being
sappy.
"Many times have I glanced
in your direction.
Each time my heart skips a
beat
Every time your eyes meet
mine
I turn away, afraid of
what you might say."
I'm not sure why I feel
what I do for her. I mean, we haven't even talked with each
other, but... she's in my dreams. I can close my eyes and
see her. She's so beautiful.
She has this... wonderful
smile. It's infectious you can't help but smile
back.
I... I don't know what to
do.
Maybe I'll just let things
fall where they may.
I mean, something could
happen and we could be thrown into circumstances that
neither of us have control over.
Oh, man. I have it bad. I
can't believe I just wrote that.
I guess I'll turn
in.
It's funny, but I have a
feeling that tomorrow is going to be an important day
somehow.
The End
