What the Books Never Bothered to Say
WRITTEN: 2002/2003
REVISED: January 22, 2004 (7:21am)
NOTES: In its rawest form, this was purely fiction that came to mind one day. Later on, it was edited and developed to become part of a novella called "Hunter's Moon" (aka Kathryn) - which never made its online debut. Later on I decided that it would much better benefit under the fanfiction category of BtVS, specifically the Buffy/Angel coupling.
On a more obscure note, if you tilt your head and look at it sideways, a little upside-down, you'd notice a splash of Heero/Relena from Gundam Wing. =P
What the Books Never Bothered to Say
~~~
"Time is a barrier between us."
You know too much and I know too little.
Look at your calloused hands, worn by the years that have creased itself on your face.
I gaze at mine and only see faint lines.
One of us frowns.
You've seen too much while I can only imagine in futile attempts.
Some things you never tell. Perhaps you never will.
Not even to me.
But you know where you've been or so it seems.
Seen the world.
Done it all.
Died.
Twice.
"You wouldn't know."
You don't care enough that I love too innocently.
Ignoring my actions and betraying my emotions.
Knowing perfectly well that it tears me up inside.
And yet, you hold my hands and caress my cheek.
"When you kiss me, I want to die."*
No, there is too much of a gap that's set in-between us.
"...and you're just too willing to let it go."

NOTE: *line comes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 2 or 3, can't recall exactly.
