I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow

Faith paced back and forth in her motel room, B's words ringing 
loudly in her head, <you should tell her>. She wasn't sure if her 
fellow slayer was nuts for telling her to talk to Willow about her 
feelings, or if she was the one who was nuts for keeping them bottled 
all up inside.

What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show 

It had taken what seemed like forever to her to make friends with the 
shy hacker but she had finally done it. Then she realized her 
feelings for Willow went deeper than that and it scared the hell out 
of her. She couldn't tell her how she felt and risk losing Willows 
friendship, not after all the work she had to do to gain it.

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together

Faith let out a deep sigh and stared at the door to the motel room, 
could she do it, could she tell Willow she loved her. Why did it 
have to be so complicated, why couldn't she keep this to herself, she 
tried to tell herself that she could love Willow in secret and be 
happy with just the redheads friendship but she knew that was a lie 
and Faith was sick of lying to herself. 

Faith grabbed her keys of the night stand and tossed them in the 
pocket of her leather jacket...

You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight

She raced out of her room and hopped on the Harley she had parked 
outside, it was now or never. Willow was her world and she was going 
to tell her.

You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might 
And I can't fight this feeling anymore

The Harley roared to life and Faith peeled out of the Motel parking 
lot. She knew what she had to do, B wasn't nuts after all. She 
loved Willow more than anything. It was Willow's friendship that 
kept her sane, Willow's gentle smile that made her heart melt, is was 
Willow who she wanted to hug and never let go.

I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever 
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore

She pulled up in front of Willows dorm room and took a deep breath, 
putting all her fears and doubts aside she popped the kickstand down 
and hoped off her bike.

I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore 

Faith raced up the Stairs towards Willows room taking three and four 
steps at a time. By the time she reached the redheaded hacker's dorm 
room the adrenaline was racing through her system, her heart beating 
rapidly in her chest. She took another deep breath trying to calm 
herself down and reached out and knocked on the door, hoping that 
Willow was home...

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find 

Faith stood there in the hallway motionless as the door slowly 
opened. She let out a small gasp, <God Willow is bueftful, should 
make something up, it's not to late>.

"Faith you okay?"

<God say something, think of something,> "Red..I mean W-Willow..."

"Yes?"

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might 
And I can't fight this feeling anymore

<Now or never, I can do this,> Faith reached out, she could feel the 
electricity dancing across her fingers as she took Willow's hand, "I, 
I"

Willow smiled tenderly back at Faith causing the brunette's knees to 
start to quiver, "You what?"

"I love you, I'm in love with you."

Willow leaned into Faith and put her finger tenderly on the 
brunette's lips, "I been waiting for you to say that."

"You have?"

"Yeah I have," Willow softly replied, as she led Faith into her room.

I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore

Faith's heart was leaping for joy as Willow pulled her into a hug. 
She felt the redhead's lips brush up against her. She knew that her 
world was changing, knew that they where moving from friends to 
lovers.

"God Willow I wish I would have told you sooner."

"Me too."

Faith opened her mouth to tell Willow that she was her world, that's 
she met everything to her, but all she could get out was another 
simple I love you but that was enough for both of them.

Faith Smiled at her newfound love then Returned Willow's kiss, <God I 
wish I would have done this sooner>.

I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.
