Willow was waiting outside of the science lab when Buffy emerged. She had waited for 15 years for someone like Buffy to come along and open up her eye to the world around her. She had never known that when she met Buffy that it would change her entire life. For better or for worse she had become friends with the slayer.
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over and over again
Buffy and Willow walked down the hallway toward the library. Neither said a word. Knowing what the other was thinking. They knew without a doubt that they were in love with each other. They knew this and a word did not even have to be spoken. Willow slowly laced her fingers through Buffy's a they entered the library.
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
They slowly entered the library savoring the feeling of touching without really admiting anything. They knew that this may be how it was right now but they knew that after today, after this moment that nothing would ever be the same again.
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
Giles entered the library not long after the girls and not saying anything to them because he knew that there was something happening that he knew would change the course of everything to come. Everything that had been destined to happen would no longer be destined. The girls standing in front of him were changing the future that very second.
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
At the very moment that Willow had decided to speak Buffy also did. They both said the simplest thing that could be said but also the one thing that could hurt them the most too. 'I'm in love with you.' When Willow heard Buffy say the exact same thing that she said to her she wrapped her arms around Buffy's neck and kissed her. She kissed her with every ounce of her being. Willow was now givig herself to Buffy. She gave her her destiny.
I give you my destiny
I'm giving you all of me
I want your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
And with those simple words the whole future changed. For better or for worse they had changed.
