Author's Note: This is a stand-alone story, it has
nothing to do with "Heart Ache" or any of the other
stories in the series. It could be thought of as an
OFF TOPIC story on one of mail lists I'm sending this
to.
Spoilers: Brief mention of a scene from "Hush". You
could say this story takes place later in the
afternoon, but PRIOR to the next morning. Did I
confuse you?

My thoughts for the day:

It started this afternoon, with the Wicca group I
joined.

*She* was there.

I… I've wanted to talk to her for awhile now. She
seems *so* interested in magicks, not like the rest. I
started to say something earlier but I couldn't. I
can't help being shy, it's a part of who I am. I get
kind of nervous.

Anyway… her name is Willow.

I like it.

It suits her.

Wil-low.

It's nice.

When I close my eyes and say her name out loud, my
face breaks into a smile. I haven't said anything to
her, I want to, but I'm scared.

Scared of what she might say.

Wil-low

I said it softly, just to hear it.

I know, or rather I think I like her.

She seems so nice. I'd never have the nerve to
actually talk to her. I mean what would I say.

'Hi, I'm Tara. I'm a sort-of witch,' I shake my head
thinking that.

I've seen her with this girl, I think her name is…
Buffy. I'm not exactly sure. I can say that she and
Willow have a very strong bond, I can see that easily.
Sometimes I wish I had the same thing, someone who'd
be there for me.

I've ah… I wrote something for her, I haven't shown it
to anyone.

But I feel safe enough to put in here, so here goes.

"In my dreams I am safe, for you are with me,
In your arms I am secure, for you hold me
In your hands I place my heart, for you love me.

I wake from my dream and long for you,
I ache for the touch I have never known
Your love is… not mine to have.

In my dreams I achieve perfection…

For in your eyes

I see the love I have reflected"

I know… it's not much, but it might be better than the
one I started and never finished.

Talk about being sappy.

"Many times have I glanced
in your direction.

Each time my heart skips
a beat

Every time your eyes
meet mine

I turn away, afraid of
what you might say."

I'm not sure why I feel what I do for her. I mean, we
haven't even talked with each other, but… she's in my
dreams. I can close my eyes and see her. She's so
beautiful.

She has this… wonderful smile. It's infectious you
can't help but smile back.

I… I don't know what to do.

Maybe I'll just let things fall where they may.

I mean, something could happen and we could be thrown
into circumstances that neither of us have control
over.

Oh, man. I have it bad. I can't believe I just wrote
that.

I guess I'll turn in.

It's funny, but I have a feeling that tomorrow is
going to be an important day somehow.

The End
