She's gone. A random, freak act of violence has taken my everything away from me. My wife was mugged while walking home from the 7-11 last night. The doctors keep telling me to have hope, that she's only been in a coma for 24 hours. But I know the truth. My Willow is gone.
I haven't moved from her side since she's been here. Giles and Buffy have been here most of the time too, but they've gone home now. All I can do is gaze down at my love and let the tears fall down my face.
~ Figure of divine perfection
No one's loved with more affection
Soul to soul we've breathed
Oh I won't let the fates succeed ~
I'm not strong enough. God, I can't make it without her. Everything that I am, everything that I was, everything that I'll ever be is lying in a hospital bed.
~ And if you sleep, you sleep with God
And if I cry it's for my heart
Why should I hope to make it through
Cause if you sleep then I'll sleep too ~
I was four years old when I first saw the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. One glance into them and I was gone. I gave my heart and soul to Willow that day in the sandbox, and she's kept them ever since. It's been twenty years since that day, and we've never been apart. Whatever fate has thrown at us, we've handled it. Together. But I can't handle this.
~ Jagged thorns and pretty petals
Butterflies and stinging nettles
Sunny days and nights of sadness
But where's my joy to cure my sadness ~
My joy is laying here on life support, hanging on by a thread. Oz once said, "Where Willow goes, so goes my nation". Well, where Willow goes so goes my existence. I can't do this without you, baby. God, please. I hear the machines stat to frantically beep in the distance as I close my eyes and lay my head down next to her.
~ And if you sleep, you sleep with God
And if I cry it's for my heart
Why should I hope to make it through
Cause if you sleep then I'll sleep too ~
The End
