Here we are...perfect strangers...after all this time, there's no more you and I...but don't look for blame...we've come so far, to different places...now to try to live a lie would be a crime....That we may not have tomorrow, but there's always yesterday...after the love's gone...only fools carry on...\\

The tears just aren't worth crying anymore.

I'm terrified of losing him again, and I'm lying here on his chest at three a.m. sobbing hysterically. I never would've thought a human could tire out easier than a Slayer, especially a human Angel, but honestly, I'm glad. I couldn't handle it if he saw me cry, because he wouldn't understand. I'm so afraid that when he does wake up, he'll look at me and instantly know that I've been crying. The tear stains on his chest and sheets could give also give me away, I guess, but I think the connection is deep enough between us to send him signals.

Shivering, I slip out of his silk sheets and walk into the kitchen. It's cold, and the tile is making my feet numb. I open his fridge and smile at the way it's already stocked with food, not a package of blood anywhere in sight. I take out a bottle of lemonade but I know I won't drink it, I just want something to play with when I sit down.

The table is in several pieces, thanks to us, and that makes me smile. I'm not sure Angel would've been so......eager a lover in the past. This humanity has awakened the sex pot I always knew lived inside of him. I was thinking a little while ago about what it would be like to make love on the beach, and then I realized I might not get to keep this precious gift.

It wouldn't be so different, since I'm used to the whole love-him-and-leave-him bit when it comes to Angel. Still, what I wouldn't give to make tomorrow never come....

The End
