I am a wee little fairy
And I live in Fairy Land
I have come up into the big world
To be counted and take a stand.

I am verra verra old
And seen centuries come and go
I know all the things that happen up here
Even though I live down below.

I have seen the rise and fall of nations
I have seen the good and the bad
I have seen things that make me happy
And terrible things that make me sad.

I have travelled many roads
All across this great land
I love to watch people go about
Across the seas - across the sand.

But my passion is for romance
And I have seen my share of them all
Of the many lovers thru the ages
And how they held me in their thrall.

Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton
Antony and Cleoptra, Peter and Heloise
Napoleon and Josephine, Henry and Anne Boleyn
Also Robert Browning and his Little Portuguese

Then there was Romeo and Juliet
Lancelot and Guinevere, Hamlet and Ophelia,
Robin and Marion, Rochester and Jane
And lest I forget, Oberon and Titania.

You are thinking some of these
Are just names from old books
But if you are as old as me
You know nothing is at it looks.

They may be made up names
But they were real once long ago
And though all is left is their memory
I am here to tell you so.

But now let us come forward in time
To see if love eternal has passed us by
Are there any who claim to be soulmates
Are there any who for their love will die.

I have left my little home
To come to plead their cause
And to hear me talk about them
In what you are doing you need to pause.

I have watched them from their birth
And my heart to them inclined
Then madam fate took a hand
Because their destinies were entwined.

She led them to each other
Though bitter enemies they should be
Their hearts yearning for the other
For into each other's soul they could see.

They tried to make it work
Oh, Oh how they tried
But like the lovers from the past
It was a very rocky ride.

When they looked into each other's eyes
The world and its woes fell away
They wanted forever to last forever
And be together come what may.

But fate is a very mean master
And she often asks a price
And so our lovers have to part
Not one, not two, but thrice.

So apart they did go
For the sake of all mankind
And though they walked away from each other
Their hearts were left behind.

And as I watched and as I cried
I saw them be brave and be true
They were like the warriors of old
Doing whatever they have to do.

They gave of themselves every day
Until death came to call
Though they buried just one body
It was two hearts that did fall.

But death can't stop the hand of fate
And I have come to keep an eye
On the events that are unravelling
Under the darkest midnite sky.

I am a wee little fairy
Who has taken to his heart
These two starcrossed lovers
That many a man is trying to part.

Do you not see what is before you
The truth that speaks to one and to all
That Angel and Buffy must come together
Their love to conquer – not to fall.

They have a need of each other
Like the flower needs the sun and the rain
Though they be many miles apart
Can't you try to bring them home again.

I have watched and I have waited
And I have cried many tears
It is time to let them see
A ray of hope after so many years.

Together they are strong
And though apart they must, for now stay
Let their hearts and deeds be true to each other
Whatever other evils they have to slay.

I have lived long and travelled far
And seen love it all its glory
But the love of Buffy and Angel
Is so much more than just a story.

I was there when their love was born
And their souls fused in steel
They share true love that never dies
They share a love that is very real.

So take heed of the wee folk
When we ask you to be true
Angel and Buffy love each other
We all know it and so should you.
