I hope that you all like and take care. Glad to be back

Buffy walked through the graveyard thinking of all the things she had been through. Dawn was staying the night with Willow and Tara. She had called Angel in L.A. and told him she wasn't gonna visit this weekend. Buffy looked around the graveyard, it was pitch black. The moon was hidden behind the clouds and there was a strong wind blowing. Buffy tugged her black leather jacket closer around her. There had not been any burials in the last week or so. Buffy sat down beside her Mother's grave and talked to her.
"Mom, I just wanted tell you that I miss you so much. Days go by and I am trying so hard to do everything right for everyone. I know how hard it was for you now, giving up your life to raise us." Buffy lay down beside the headstone and a tear trickled down her cheek. "I wish you could just hold me Mom. Just make everything right for a day or two. I feel so empty.
"I wake up and look around the room trying to figure out what's wrong. This feeling of being totally alone ya know. I am surrounded by people who love me but I can't feel alive. I want to feel alive again Mom."
Buffy sat up and wiped her face. "OK mom it was good talking to you. I love you." Buffy touched the headstone which read "Joyce Summers A mother of two a savior to all."
She started to walk around the deserted graveyard again. She had one more stop to make. It was a part of her nightly ritual. It seemed every time she stopped there her heart broke a little more. But she could not stop herself. Logically she should not care, she should be over it but she did. There was a headstone not far from her mothers. Buffy knelt down and ran her fingers across the engraving. She leaned her head against the cool slab wanting so much to give into everything that was overwhelming her. All the feelings of pain, guilt, loneliness. This was the only place she felt she could let go. She started to cry hard, her body shaking with the force of emotions inside her. Moments of her past flashing through her mind. Her mother when she was a little girl always following her around. Memories of her first slay, when she first met Willow. Then her thoughts turned to Angel which made her cry harder. The first time she feel in love completely. The forbidden love that would never go anywhere, kisses of passion that would never lead to more. And then the guilt overcame Buffy. A night flashed through her mind, a rooftop and a fight. A moment that would change her life forever.
Buffy looked at Faith lying on the bed looking so beautiful. Her raven colored hair hung around her shoulders. The rest seemed to fly through her mind, every contact of a fist breaking Buffy's heart a little more. But there was anger also, that was what drove Buffy. Faith had pushed it to this; She could never accept the things that were offered to her. Buffy had offered so much to Faith. Faith gave Buffy no choice she had to do this. She was not gonna hurt her too bad but Angel could drink enough to save himself and everything would be okay. Buffy would make Faith move on, there was no choice. She just kept hurting Buffy and Buffy kept allowing it to happen. This would be the last night she would see Faith. Then a new memory hit Buffy hard. She saw the knife in her hand; she could feel the knife slice into Faith. She could see the surprise in Faith's eyes and for a moment Buffy saw relief in her eyes. The next thing Buffy saw was Faith falling. Buffy reached for her and cried out but it was too late. Faith was gone, Buffy ran down the stairs and chased after the truck. Angel momentarily forgotten at the thought of Faith injured, Buffy could not catch the truck. Buffy, defeated, went to the mansion and saved Angel.
Time flew after that, the mayor was defeated and Angel left. Tears were shed and Buffy moved on. She constantly went to the hospital to Faith's side at the hospital. Then one afternoon she walked in and the bed was empty. The sheets folded and the pillow fluffed. Panic overwhelming Buffy she fled to the nurses station.
"I am sorry" the nurse said as she handed Buffy Faith's clothes that she wore the night of the fight. Buffy and her mother had arranged the funeral. Her mother not questioning her daughter's request. There had always been something there that Joyce would not question. There had been so much hurt and pain in her life. The girl deserved a proper burial, she had saved many lives.
The funeral was quiet not many people there. Dawn and the Scoobs along with Buffy, Giles, and her mother. The song that they agreed to play was not proper to some but Buffy knew it was the perfect song. They agreed to play it after everyone was gone. And as Buffy watched everyone leave, she tried to hold herself together. she looked in the casket and as she sensed that she was alone she played the tape for Faith. She laid her head on Faith's chest as the first of the song played
"I felt you slip away, far away from me, further from me. You seem to drift. I caught myself wishing you back. As I fight to catch you. Anger, wells inside me. I see me, frowning in your eyes. I see, the fear in you, where none should ever be. I am here for you, as I strive to grab you. I see my reflection and the pain scripted across my face, set in stone. Anger, wells inside me. I see me, frowning in your eyes. Far away from me, further from me. You seem to drift (Far away). I caught myself wishing you back."
Buffy sang silently as the tears fell she stroked Faith's cold and lifeless face.
"As I fight to catch you. Slap me, punch me, stab me, kick me, burn me, crucify me, kill me. Fuck you, hate you, love you, hate myself. You are nothing to me. I am everything to you. You are nothing to me. I put the fear in you where none should ever be. I am everything to you."
Buffy flashed back to the present and slowly bid Faith goodnight. She went home and slowly climbed into bed. She looked at the tattered picture by the bed. The picture was a snapshot of Faith that she never knew Buffy had taken. It was the first time Buffy noticed what Faith looked like when she thought anyone noticed her. It wasn't until it was too late that Buffy realized Faith was a frightened girl.
Buffy slept through the night never noticing the strange storm outside. Lightning flashing, thunder rolling. The rain poured hard as the wind howled, screaming at the world to be heard. Lightning so bright that Sunnydale was bathed in light. As the wind died down everything was fixing to change.
Buffy awoke the next morning and slowly rolled over hugging her pillow. Then she noticed her bedroom door open. She knew she had closed it before bed, it was always closed because she didn't want anyone to see her weak side. Buffy pulled her robe over her naked body and walked down the stairs. She was hoping it was Dawn came home early, but she was ready for anything that might happen.
"Dawnie, are you in here?" No one answered as she past the living room heading to the kitchen. Buffy noticed as she pushed open the swinging door, that the glass on the back door was open. There was mud on the floor and as Buffy followed the trail, nothing prepared her for what she was about to see. Huddled in the corner was a shaking, trembling, pale and very much alive Faith.
Buffy fainted at the sight before her. When she awoke Faith was still huddled in the corner still not moving. She was still trembling and her eyes were constantly on Buffy. Buffy could not control all the emotions inside her. This had to be a dream, this couldn't be real. But if it was Buffy didn't want to wake up. Buffy reached out to touch Faith she cowered away. Buffy said quietly. "Faith, it is me. I am not going to hurt you, I promise."
Buffy reached for her again and Faith cowered away. Buffy knew she should call the gang because she had a fear that this was a spell or something. This could not be real, but Buffy couldn't handle including anyone in this yet. Buffy stood up slowly and went to get a blanket for Faith. As she knelt down beside her Faith shivered but didn't move. "Faith, I don't know how this happened but I promise you are safe." After an hour of both slayers just watching each other, Faith not making any sounds; Buffy noticed Faith was drifting to sleep.
Buffy just leaned against the wall wondering what the hell was going on, but so afraid to move, afraid her dream would disappear. Faith was asleep in a huddled position, Buffy stood up and slowly, so as not to startle Faith, she picked her up and carried her to the bed upstairs. Faith never woke up and as Buffy laid her down on the bed and started to move away, Faith grabbed her hand. Faith slowly pulled Buffy so that Buffy was next to her on the bed. Buffy turned so she could see her. Buffy, not even noticing the mud and tangles in Faith's hair. Thinking that this was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life. Everything seemed right in the world. Buffy lay there and held Faith not thinking of anything but the woman that had her heart since the first time she saw her.
Buffy awoke and was shocked to feel a warm body beside her. When she glanced beside her she saw Faith lying beside her. Her hair was still caked in mud. Buffy tried to piece everything together from the last night. There were fragments that filtered through the haze of the morning. The main result was that Faith was here beside her in her arms. Buffy did not want to think about the logic of it, she didn't want to think about how this could be real. She was afraid to wake Faith for fear of startling her. She seemed out of loop last night and Buffy did not want to scare her. She watched Faith as she slept, a frown deep in her face. Faith had seemed to age so much. There were lines on her face that were never there before, but Buffy believed she looked more beautiful than ever.
Buffy could not believe Faith was here, her soft skin under hers. She ran her thumb along Faith slender face that was now hollow and gaunt. This was not the Faith she remembered but it was definitely still the one she loved. How many times had she dreamed of this moment. Holding her heart beside her, Buffy would have never believed this was possible. All of a sudden Faith's face became flushed and sweat was covering her body. Buffy could feel her slender body shivering underneath her arm. She brushed a strand of hair away from Faith's face. All of a sudden Faith woke and jumped off the bed in a matter of seconds. Buffy had trouble understanding what happened, but she could feel the fear radiating off of Faith. She sat up and gently eased to edge of the bed and sat there waiting for Faith to make the first move. There was so much of the past Buffy had made All the decisions but she knew this time Faith had to do it.
Buffy rolled her neck as the time passed and as she leaned against the headboard of the bed Faith perked up from her spot, watching Buffy warily. Buffy watched her but did not move, she did not want to startle Faith. Buffy remembered a night that her and Faith had been slaying. It was the night Buffy realized that her feelings were not that of a friend. They were the kind of feelings that came from being with the one person who knew everything about you and that not scaring you. The feeling of an eternity not being enough time to prove your love. It seemed that Buffy never got that chance and the blame was all of her own.
Buffy must have dozed off because next thing she knew she felt a finger slowly rubbing her knuckle. Buffy kept her eyes closed as she savored the touch. She knew if she opened her eyes it would startle Faith. Faith's fingers were shaking as they touched Buffy.
Last thing Faith remembered was the night Buffy stuck the knife in her. She thought that would be the end to her painful life, little did she know she would have a painful after life. Faith did not remember much about where she had been nor did she care to. The memories of things that had happened would scare the hardest of souls. But to see the purity of Buffy in front of her was a miracle. For once Faith could sense the confusion and love radiate off of Buffy. Faith's body ached all over and she could not stop flashes of her afterlife from consuming her.
Buffy slowly opened her eyes and looked at Faith and saw the sorrow there in her eyes. "Faith, hi how are you doing?" Faith did not respond. "Do you want to get cleaned up?" The thought of a hot bath sounded like heaven to Faith so she nodded. Buffy was startled by the action and grinned a little. She was kind of afraid to see what Faith looked like. The once vibrant woman was now skinny and pale. Buffy ran some hot water and added some soothing vanilla bath salts. Faith was trembling as Buffy walked to her. Buffy looked questioningly at Faith silently asking Faith if she wanted help. There was a slight nod and Buffy gently grasped the bottom of Faith's black shirt. She had been buried in black jeans, black t shirt and her docs. The shirt was lifted and Buffy saw that Faith was so skinny and scars marred her flesh. The one most pronounced to Buffy was the large one on the abdomen that she put there. Of all the scars Faith had Buffy inflicted the one to end her. Faith sensed the hesitation as Buffy looked at her. SO many things rolled through Faith's cloudy mind that she could not think but the one thing she could not stand was the self hatred obvious on Buffy's face. Faith grabbed her hand and turned around silently gesturing for Buffy to remove the bra. Buffy's hands shook as she followed the request, then Faith's jeans were removed.
Buffy helped Faith step into the large tub. As Faith sat down there was an enormous feeling of loneliness overwhelm her. She grabbed Buffy's hand as she started to turn away, yet again gesturing she needed the closeness Buffy could offer. Faith gestured for her to get into the tub and Buffy felt an arousal sweep over her body and then she berated herself thinking it was not proper. Buffy wondered at Faith's silence. She turned the radio on and climbed into the bathtub after she undressed. Buffy grabbed a sponge and covered it with her soap. She started at Faith's neck as she lathered the sponge. Small circular strokes went down Faith's body. Both bodies trembling as Buffy bathed Faith. The bathroom was getting steamy and the water was hot so Buffy turned the colder on. Buffy looked in awe at the woman who had always had her captivated. Her shoulders were bony and her ribs very pronounced. Buffy lathered Faith's back with the sudsy sponge. Faith shivered loving the feel of Buffy touching her, it seemed this was her heaven. If this was her happily ever after she finally got her life and death was worth it. But both wondered at what the future held. Buffy kissed Faith's head and slowly turned her around. Sweat was dripping down both their faces, both flushed and rosy.
Buffy ran the sponge over Faith's chest and hesitated at the breast of the beautiful woman. Faith silently led Buffy's hand to her breast and then she ran her own hand down Buffy's neck causing her to shiver. Buffy knew this was wrong so much was unresolved, Faith had just returned back to them. But the look in Faith's eyes showed that she needed it, she needed to feel alive. Buffy ran her thumb over the perky little nipple and watched as it perked even more under the touch. Faith was leaning back her eyes closed shivering. Slowly she opened her dark brown eyes and pulled Buffy to her. She closed the distance between them and slowly their lips melded together. It seemed all the past disappeared there was only this moment. A moment with a perfect kiss soft supple lips caressing each other. A tongue slipping and invading the others. Buffy could feel an arousal she had never felt before but yet she hesitated. Faith sensing that slowly ran her hand down Buffy's back as they kissed. Her hand moved to Buffy's ass and cupped it never believing she would ever feel that. The water was very full so Buffy turned it off never breaking from the kiss. Faith shivered again and arched underneath Buffy. Her clit rubbing Buffy's which made Buffy cry out. Faith slowly moved her hand between them and pushed Buffy back a little. Then her mouth latched onto Buffy's nipple. The tiny bud rolling with Faith's moist hot tongue. Faith sucked hard trying so hard to wipe out all bad memories with her one sense of purity. Slowly as she sucked on Buffy's nipple her hand moved down and she thumped Buffy clit softly. Buffy could not believe how hot she was and she needed to be filled with the essence of her love. Her request was granted as a finger slipped inside her, then another. Buffy had never been with a woman before but this seemed so right.
Faith sucked hard on her nipple but then pushed Buffy away. She positioned herself so that Buffy was right on top of her. Buffy was so wet inside that her juices coated Faith's hand. Faith inserted a third finger and Buffy started to move up and down. Faith's fingers sliding in and out. Buffy sat above her. Long blond hair sweaty and falling over her face as she rode Faith. Buffy flat abdomen stretching and quivering as her lover touched her. Faith was rolling her thumb along Buffy's clit as her fingers thrust in and out of Buffy. She rode Faith and let her fill her, her body craving to be filled. Faith thrust faster and harder fingers moving in and out. She sucked on Buffy's nipple and then as she thrust hard inside Buffy she curved her fingers up inside her making Buffy scream out as an orgasm overtook her. Her body shaking as her muscles clenched Faith's fingers deep inside her. Buffy fell down resting her forehead against Faith's. Faith knew the hell she had endured was worth it if she somehow was able to hold onto her beautiful, blond angel.
After a long hot very enjoyable bath Buffy and Faith went and layed on the bed. Buffy covered Faith up and wrapped her arm around her. This was just so amazing to her. Every person looks to have someone that took their breath away and Faith did that for Buffy. But Buffy had always been so worried what everyone thought. It was like if someone did not agree with what she did then she would alter the way she did things. She always tried to please everyone. But after Faith died Buffy realized that those other people would not warm her bed on a lonely night.
Buffy felt Faith shiver beneath her arm and looked down to see her sleeping. Buffy thought back to right after Faith died and the funeral. Buffy had brought most of her clothes home with her. She had Faith's black leather jacket and her Doc Martins. She had all of Faith's levis and leather pants. She used to lay in her bed and smell Faith's clothes loving the smell of her. Eventually though the smells lingered away, But even as the smells faded, the memories always lingered. They tortured her in all her waking moments and then sneaking into her sleep. Tears fell never ending but through all that her friends never realized what plagued her. They really didn't care either; sure that is not to say they did not care about Buffy, but not enough to alter their lives. Willow and Tara had moved on in their own place, coming and going but always together. Buffy wished she could have that and she had someone to hold her when she cried. She wanted someone to honestly care about her. To love her with all of her flaws and peeves.
Faith stirred and slowly awoke eyes, groggily looking at Buffy. "Hi Faith, shhhhh it's okay why don't you go back to sleep." Faith tried to shake off the sleep as she looked around the room as if adjusting to where she was. She looked on the other side of Buffy and saw Mr. Gordo, she ran her finger along his ears. Buffy thought that it was so adorable and then remembered Faith's bag and that there was a battered stuffed bear in it. She got up slowly and Faith grabbed at her, scared to be alone.
"Shhh Faith. I am only going to the closet. I have something there." Faith released her and Buffy got the bag out of the closet. Faith's eyes lit up as the bag was set in front of her. Buffy pulled the bear out and handed it to Faith. Faith's eyes watered as the emotions overcame her. Then Faith remembered the journal in there. She reached inside the bag and handed it to Buffy.
Buffy watched worry overcome Faith's features. Then as Buffy sat down beside Faith again on the bed, Buffy started to flip through the journal. Then Faith's shaking hand grabbed Buffy's opening it to a certain page. As Buffy read she saw certain pages that referred to her. Pages that spoke of Faith's feelings and insecurities. Buffy then realized that Faith truly loved her, and all of her actions were basically to get her attention. A poem stood out among the pages and a few pages afterwards there were no more and as Buffy looked at the dates she realized that it was right before the night on the roof.
Buffy started to read the poem.
I look at you across the room; my days seem filled of constant gloom Every time I see your face, I get carried away to a special place A place I know we will never see, a place where you also love me It is a place from heaven above, a place with just happiness and love I seem to call your name out loud, but away you stay, strong and proud How can I tell you how I feel, you would never think that it was real You will just think it's another lie but I could tell you every night I cry I want to know how to make you believe, but I walk away again, again I flee I retreat inside my mind the wonderful world where you are mine I will just turn from you because you'll never believe it could be true How could you be with someone like me? You could not stand what the others would think How can you love someone like me, someone who gives my love so free? I know that as days move on, the distance grows farther as the days grow long Afar I watch and love in secret because as hard as I try you'll never believe it. In secret my love eats me alive, In my heart your love survives In secret you love me so true, In secret my heart has spoken I do In secret I give you all my heart In secret I know in death we will part.
Two days later Faith had died. Buffy felt the tears stream down her face. How could someone be as stupid as she was. She realized that Faith had been her dream. She had been that forever love, And Buffy also realized that the feeling that overcame her, also had swept Faith away.
Buffy looked at Faith and kissed her soft supple lips. As they kissed tears merged with the others, hearts breaking and healing. How could Buffy throw away something so pure. Theirs was a love that was a once in a lifetime. Buffy knew that Faith would and had died for her.

Faith looked away from Buffy fearing that what she read in her eyes. Faith feared that it was pity in her eyes. She started to get up and Buffy grabbed her arm. just as she started to speak the phone rang. Buffy groaned and reached across the bed and picked up the receiver.
Faith watched Buffy's face as she spoke. Judging from the conversation it was Willow. Faith remembered that saucy little red. She gave a small half grin causing a small dimple to appear in her left cheek. Buffy's heart skipped a beat as she saw that smile. How many times she wondered what that smile would look like. All the times before she had that cocky addition to it. Now it was all gone, all of the arrogance that used to drive Faith. She no longer had that you can't touch me personality. There was so much Buffy wanted to know about Faith. What had happened to her, why she was here now? And the question that never left Buffy's mind was she there to stay.
Buffy's attention was brought back to the conversation going on at the other end of the line.
"Buffy, We thought about taking Dawn to San Francisco. Do you think that would be all right?" Buffy breathed a small sigh of relief. That would give her some time to get this all figured out. Buffy glanced at the picture of Dawn and Joyce and her together. She had grown up to be such a beautiful girl. She was now a sophomore in high school, making straight A's thanks to Willow.
Buffy heard Tara giggle slightly and could almost picture her nibbling on Willow's neck. She felt herself become slightly wet thinking of what had happened the night before. Buffy told Willow that would be fine and asked if they needed clothes. After everything was worked out Buffy hung up and looked at Faith who had fallen asleep while she had been watching Buffy.
She looked at the raven colored hair, there were jagged edges to it like it had been torn or burned. But it was soft under Buffy's fingers. She layed her head on her hand as she slowly caressed Faith's hair and ran her eyes along Faith's face and body. Her eyes were not quite as bruised and it seemed her face was relaxed, ever since she had gotten back there seemed to be a haunted look in her eyes. Buffy wondered what she didn't know. Then she became distracted again by the beautiful sight in front of her. Faith was underneath the sheets, the black satin bringing out the softness of her skin. It no longer had the bronzed look it once did but never the less it was beautiful.
Buffy fell asleep with her arms wrapped around Faith. Her forehead pressed against Faith's, noses together and breaths mingling. Dreams once again invaded her sleep but this was a pleasant one. There was a waterfall with water cascading down the rocks. The grass surrounding it was a lush green with flowers blooming. Buffy felt the grass underneath her thick like a blanket. She was watching the water and saw a white tiger walk across the rocks. When the tiger disappeared from her sight almost she saw another tiger watching silently. They walked off into the trees together, then from beneath the waterfall she saw Faith emerge. Her skin smooth and free from all flaws, there was no sign of the scars and bruising. Her hair long and wet, it passed her shoulders. Faith walked up to Buffy and slowly pushed her down into the grass. Her fingers running down Buffy's face. Faith slowly pulled Buffy's ear into her mouth, running her tongue around the lobe. Buffy could feel the heat from her breath, and also heard the soft moan that could only come from an arousal that could envelop one whole. Buffy reached her arms around Faith feeling the muscles rippling and taut beneath her fingers.
Faith Slowly ran her tongue down Buffy's neck, slowly leaving a trail of moisture as it went. Faith's hands started to roam down Buffy's chest. She continued to suck on Buffy's neck as her fingers started to circle Buffy's nipples, the rosy perks started to peak as arousal made them hard. She rolled the nipples around with her thumb and forefinger. Then started to follow her fingers with her mouth, Buffy cried out as she felt Faith's tongue circle her nipple. She did not suck but just teased with her tongue, then she would blow softly onto them. Buffy arched into her mouth wanting to feel Faith inside her. The need to be one with her eating away at her. Buffy reached down for Faith's hands but Faith refused to be rushed. She slowly trailed her tongue down the center of Buffy's stomach. Buffy's skin tingled, her clit becoming hard. Moisture flooding from Buffy. Faith ran her tongue inside Buffy's belly button circling it. When She thought she could stand it no more she felt Faith move down.
Faith took Buffy's clit in her mouth. Sucking hard on the clit, rolling it in her mouth. Her fingers were still caressing one of Buffy's nipples, her tongue sucking and nibbling and teasing. Faith would bite a little and Buffy arched up, not feeling pain, just a need so deep it hurt. Buffy cried out to Faith and then slowly felt Faith tongue invade her. But it was such a sweet invasion and one that Buffy gladly surrendered to. Faith's tongue was licking and tasting, She had moved her hands under Buffy's hips and was pushing her into her mouth. Her tongue flicking deep inside, pushing in hard and then withdrawing.
Faith felt the moisture fill her mouth, there was such a sweet taste. She continued to thrust hard into Buffy filling her. Then as she felt the need overwhelming Buffy she moved and thrust three fingers inside her. She continued to suck on the clit as her fingers, long and wet, plunged in and out. Buffy pushed herself into Faith's hand wanting to be complete. Faith bit softly on her clit, fingers sliding in and out. Passion overwhelming both of them, Faith felt the moisture seeping from between her legs. Buffy tasted so sweet on her lips, Faith then moved so Buffy sat astride her face. Buffy felt Faith's fingers seep deeper inside her. Pushing in hard and fast and yet ever so gentle, Faith's mouth tasting, tongue probing as fingers continued moving. Then as Buffy knew she was over the edge, Faith plunged in hard and curved her fingers inside her. Buffy screamed out as Faith hit her G spot, making her come hard. She was shaking from the intensity of the orgasm. She collapsed against Faith, sweat covering both of them. Buffy slowly removed herself from Faith's fingers and with a shaky hand brushed away a wet strand of hair from Faith's face, which was now flushed with desire.
Buffy felt herself drifting, not knowing what was fantasy and what was reality. As consciousness fought to overcome her she heard a hoarse whisper of "I love you always." Buffy felt herself come awake and tried to become aware of her surroundings. As she glanced over and saw the sweaty passion filled face of her true love. As she looked at Faith she heard again "I love you." Buffy felt a tear fall as she heard the voice of her love. A voice she had not heard since she had come back to her. Just as the tears fell from both of their faces they heard a song coming from the radio playing softly by the bed. And as their eyes searched each others the words expressed what they could not. With a shaking hand Faith pulled Buffy close to her, their hearts beating fast and in sync with each others. Tears mingling, hearts forever becoming one.
I wanted to be like you I wanted everything So I tried to be like you And I got swept away I didn't know that it was so cold And you needed someone to show you the way So I took your hand and we figured out That when the time comes I'd take you away If you want to I can save you I can take you away from here So lonely inside So busy out there And all you wanted was somebody who cares I'm sinking slowly So hurry hold me Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on Please can you tell me So I can finally see Where you go when you're gone If you want to I can save you I can take you away from here So lonely inside So busy out there And all you wanted was somebody who cares All you wanted was somebody who cares If you need me you know I'll be there Oh, yeah
