__Maybe This Time__
By AngelWakes
Buffy strode down the street determination evident in
every step. She was taking control of her life.
# Maybe this time I'll be lucky #
'What is it with me and love? Will it always be like
this? A night together and then badness. I need to
find a guy who will be there loving me whatever comes.
Where's a guy like that?'
# Maybe this time he'll stay
Maybe this time for the first time
Love won't hurry away #
'Someone who will stand and fight at my side.'
# He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before #
'Someone who I can just be myself with, someone who
will keep me safe.'
# Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady Peaceful
Lady Happy
That's what I long to be #
'Why can't I just have a normal lover who will do
silly everyday things with me? Like fight over the
last doughnut, or tease me about my taste in shoes.'
# When all the odds are, they're in my favour
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win #
'I will find my special guy. I *have* to. There is
one perfect partner for me somewhere.'
# Cause, everybody, they love a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady Peaceful
Lady Happy
That's what I long to be #
'Hmmm my partner, a special guy, fighting and
laughing, loving?'
# When all the odds are, they're in my favour
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
I'll win. #
Buffy stared at where her feet had led her and smiled
to herself. On the other side of the studded door was
the perfect man for her.
'Giles.'
