Giles tried to keep his mind from drifting while he drove home from the library. His thoughts were on the beauty that entered his life. He knew he could never tell her how he felt, he didn’t know how. The lyrics from the song on the radio caught his attention.
Looking back from where I stand tonight...
I wouldn’t change a thing about my life...
Wrong turns I had to take...
Back in those crazy years
Cause all my roads have
This love I share with you...
Though the road was never smooth...
Life had made me someone...
Who could be right someone for you He pulled over, turning the volume up. It’s true, his life had been filled with bumpy roads, and other things he wanted to leave in his past.
I don’t regret a single broken heart
And what it’s not
Someone must have planned
I couldn’t see it then, but Someone... If it wasn’t for Buffy... If it wasn’t for Sunnydale... The Hellmouth... He would have never met her.
Cause all my roads have
This love I share with you...
Though the road was never smooth...
Life had made me someone...
Who could be right someone for you He only wished he could tell her... How much he loved her... How he felt truly blessed by her presence in his life...
Detours...
Dead ends...
Endless explorations...
You were my only destination This song was telling him to act. Could he... Checking his mirror, he pulled back into traffic. Making sure it was clear, he made a u-turn and headed back to the library. He hoped she hadn’t gone too far. His heart was pounding in his chest, he was going to tell her, he had to. Craning his neck forward as he neared the school, he was looking for her.
Cause all my roads have
This love I share with you...
Though the road was never smooth...
Life had made me someone...
Who could be right someone for you There she was... He felt a smile appear on his lips. He pulled in front of her. Turning the engine off, he got out of the car, closing the door behind him. “Oh... hi Giles. Is something wrong?” “Um, no... no it’s not. I... I was wondering, could... could I speak with you, please?” he asked, as he walked towards her. “Sure, no problem,” she said as met him half-way. “Yes... Willow, there’s something I need to tell you...”
Cause all my roads have
This love I share with you...
Though the road was never smooth...
Life had made me someone...
Who could be right someone for you
The End
