I walked down the streets of Sunnydale quietly. My head in a daze as I looked around. People walking, talking, living. Things I did on a regular basis. I was in one of those moods, where everything is reflective and everything has a deeper meaning. People's lives, how they lived them each day, how I spent my life in the dark. Wrapping my arms tightly around myself, even though it was far from cold, I breathed deep, some sense of peace invading my soul.

Today we took a walk up the street
And picked a flower and climbed a hill
Above the lake

And then I felt him. As I always could. No one quite understood that. I could feel him always. Even when he was in LA, I could stretch myself and feel his quiet presence, it was a weak connection, but it was a connection. This however was not. The feeling of him overwhelmed my body, every sense of my body was buzzing and I welcomed the feeling. As I turned I had a strange feeling of deja vu. There he was, walking towards me, in the middle of the day.

And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away

He stopped in front of me and before I could say anything, he cupped my cheek and kissed me. I didn't know what had happened, I didn't care. I wrapped my arms around his neck and let him hold me as I answered the kiss.

And were we ever somewhere else
You know, it's hard to say

I understood the peace I had felt just minutes before, something, somehow had been made right. What, I didn't know, but I didn't doubt that he would tell me. All I knew was that I was finally where I was supposed to be, where I wanted to be. Everything that had happened was gone for now, everything was as it should be and I wondered if it was always this right between us because it was right, complete.

And I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that

He broke the kiss, resting his forehead against mine, taking my hand and placing it on his heart. The slight movement under the thin material of his shirt told me what I had hoped, what I had dreamed.

"I'm sorry," he whispered to me. I nodded, tears welling in my eyes, remembering. We both had a lot to be sorry for. There was so much between us, behind us.

"I love you," I whispered back because I did and the past didn't matter anymore.

"I love you."

I can't believe a month ago
I was alone, I didn't know you
I hadn't seen or heard your name
And even now I'm so amazed
It's like a dream, it's like a rainbow, it's like the rain

And some things are the way they are
And words just can't explain.

He took my hand, holding it like he never wanted to let go. I would never let him. He looked over at me as we walked, something in his eyes that I had never really seen before, but I knew it. He was happy. And so was I.

Cause I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that

We walked. Together in the sunlight, a place neither of us had ever really known before. There was beauty everywhere and I realize that it's only because he's holding my hand. That it's only because he's mine forever now.

And it feels like now
And it feels always
And it feels like coming home

We were finally home. Someone always says that saying, "Home is where the heart is." I realize now, even if I always knew it, that he was always where my heart was, he is my home. But it was right and it was forever.

Oh, I, I never saw blue like that

The End

Well, what did you think? Kinda sappy, I know, but if I had my way, they would reunite like this.
