Disclaimers: BtVS crew and X:WP belong to their respective owners, I don't 
own them if I did you'd see more W/B. :) One More Day is Diamond Rios, I 
have no clue who wrote it.
Summary: Willow's thoughts post 'The Gift'.

Spoilers: 'The Gift' even though I didn't see it, that counts right?

Authors Note: I don't have the WB, I didn't see the eph 'The Gift', but I 
would imagine there will be a lot of crying if there hasn't been already. 
Plus I got to thinking about the Xena eph 'The Quest' in which Xena was dean 
for an extended period of time, what's good enough for one hero is good 
enough for another, I pray that Joss is just pulling our legs and that 
Buffy's not coming back as the next Slayers spirit guide, that would suck, 
plus wouldn't they have to change the title or something?
Another Authors Note: This didn't come out as good as I intended, but I love 
this song and hope someone else uses it in their fic.
Distribution: Yes.

Feedback? Yes, please!! (I know it's not good, but could you lie to me?)
------------------

Willow sat on her bed thinking, crying, aching for what never was. She 
remembered hearing her Great-Aunt Janice Covington say once, 'When you think 
of the dead, the dead can hear your thoughts.'
She hoped it was true, she had a lot to say.

<Buffy, I know that you can hear me, oh God I have to believe that. I never 
told you, I know that we said no secerts but I wasn't sure how you'd react 
to this.
I love you.

No that's not right, I was in love with you.

What Tara and I have, had couldn't compare. She's gone now, I think she 
finally realized that as much as I tried I couldn't give her my heart.
It belonged, belongs to you, it always has, and it always will. Since the 
day you said hi, for the rest of my life. I don't know if you're grossed 
out or feel the same way, I guess that's the part that hurts the most, the 
not knowing.
It hurts without you, it hurts so much.

Do you hear me Buffy, can you feel that love I have for you? I'm sending it 
to you. I'm sending you everything I've ever felt, the joy of being your 
friend, the warmth that your smile always filled me with, I miss you so 
much.>
Standing up she pushed play on the stereo.

<This is for you, Buffy always for you.>


Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you

<I feel so incomplete without you, you are my other half. The reason I am 
who I am today.>
One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
(One more day)

<Even if you didn't feel the same way, as long as I'd have that day, just 
that one day.>
First thing I'd do
Is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second, say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do with one more day with you

<Forever, Buffy I'll love that long and beyond.>

One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day___
Leave me wishing still, for one more day___
Leave me wishing still, for one more day___ with you
(One more day)
(One more day)

Weeping uncontrollably Willow hugged her pillow and drifted to an exhausted 
dreamless sleep.
