Willow growled and threw the pencil across the room. It wouldn't float. She'd lost all her concentration and couldn't float a pencil now that Oz had left. She could barely write with one much less make one float. She sighed loudly and tried not to think about it.

Buffy had left for LA probably having her heart torn out by Angel at that very moment. Men. Willow was starting to feel quite bitter towards the whole race. No it wasn't Angel's fault that her love life sucked, it was Angel's fault Buffy's love life sucked. Double sigh.

But oh, Buffy did have a somewhat normal love life. Riley. He liked Buffy and he seemed nice. Willow wondered if anything would happen now since Angel had shown up. Poor Buffy. Willow stared at the text and it blurred slightly, this was suppose to be a happy time, right before the holidays. Unfortunately Willow didn't have much to be happy for other then her wonderful friends. Still she missed Oz.

She jumped up and tromped over to her bed flipping on the stereo. Soothing music started to beat itself from the speakers and she dropped down onto her bed and hugged Mr. Gordo to her. How had he gotten on her bed? Who cared he was comforting. Her ears perked up as a new song played across the speakers a clear voice echoing through the room.

"The way you're bathed in light 
reminds me of that night 
god laid me down into your rose garden of trust 
and I was swept away 
with nothin' left to say 
some helpless fool yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace 
you're all I need to find 
so when the time is right 
come to me sweetly, come to me 
come to me"

Willow breathed. This song was a bitter reminder of everything. The song took a quick 
heavy sound as the chorus pounded itself out.

"Love will lead us, all right 
love will lead us, she will lead us 
can you hear the dolphins cry? 
see the road rise up to meet us 
it's in the air we breathe tonight 
love will lead us, she will lead us." 

Willow felt a hot tear stream down her face. She angrily wiped it away. She missed Oz but she was past the crying stage, she was cried out.

"Oh yeah, we meet again 
it's like we never left 
time in between was just a dream 
did we leave this place? 
this crazy fog surrounds me 
you wrap your legs around me 
all I can do to try and breathe 
let me breathe so that I 
so we can go together!"

She curled herself into a ball. She could remember Oz's hands his breathe.. his soft words and his smile that was just for her. Would he ever be back? It seemed like it had already been a eternity since he left. She cried softly lost in memories of Oz and the love she missed so dearly.

"Love will lead us, alright 
love will lead us, she will lead us 
can you hear the dolphins cry? 
see the road rise up to meet us 
it's in the air we breathe tonight 
love will lead us, she will lead us. 
life is like a shooting star 
it don't matter who you are 
if you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time 
we are lost 'til we are found 
this phoenix rises up from the ground 
and all these wars are over 
over 
over 
sing' la da da, da da da 
come to me 
come to me 
yeah la da da, da da da 
come to me.."

The song ended. A loud radio announcer blared to life and Willow rolled over and angrily shoved the off button of the stereo. She lay there for a moment breathing deeply and clutching Mr. Gordo to her. She jumped when the phone rang, she picked it up and tried not to sniffle into the phone. "H-hello?" she mumbled. No one answered she heard slight breathing in the background and then a click. She set the phone back into the receiver and got up, she needed to get through her psyche work. She'd had enough self pity for one day.
