How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

Buffy watched Angel who was standing a few feet away from her. She knew this was the moment. The moment which she didn't wanted to come.

He was leaving.

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

All what she could do was watch him leave. Or was it? She could run to him, forcing him to stay, make him see that with out him she was nothing.

So take a look at me now
Oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face

He was slowly turned around. "No Angel stay!", she wanted to shout. Be she couldn't. He didn't want to be with her. He said so himself. So why would she do it only to get hurt more and more? She sighed. 'Oh Angel I love you so much.', she thought. 'How can I go on with my life without you in it?'

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

She watched him walk away until she couldn't she him anymore.

This was it.

The one man she wanted to have so desperately in her life had dissapeared. She collapsed to the ground.

She wanted to cry but the tears wouldn't come. She was in too much shock.

Shocked that he really had left her.

And he didn't even said goodbye.

So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now '
Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause l'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now

Yup it's short isn't it? Feedback please? Even if it's negative!
