Summary: Willow says a last goodbye.

My Dearest Tara,

Hey, it's me.

So much has changed since I last wrote. Something big is coming, so big even Buffy's worried. Of course she hasn't said as much but I can tell. Since I came back from England I've learnt to read people more effectively, become more in tune with what's going on around me.

But that's not why I'm writing. Guess I should just get to the point huh?

I've met someone. Well, it was more a case of, she appeared on the doorstep with Giles one day, turned my life around and…Oh Tara, I didn't want to fall for her, she's spoilt, outspoken, the complete opposite of you. The first time we kissed I turned into Warren. How's that for irony? I was so overwhelmed with guilt because I'd let you go that I turned into the man I killed. A fact I do regret it by the way; I want you to know that. I wish I could say that if I had the chance to change things I wouldn't do the same, but I can't. I think that, maybe, it had to happen that way to show me how to truly respect the magics ya know?

Kennedy's been helping me through. That's her name, Kennedy. She's one of the Potential slayers that the first has been trying to wipe out. She's so strong, both mentally & physically. She's helped me to see that whilst I love you with all of my heart and always will. My life is not yet over. I have to carry on. Live.

Buffy needs me, especially now with all the girls that have been arriving. And I've realized that I need Kennedy. She's keeping me tethered to this plain. Helping me to believe in my power and myself again.

I miss you T. So much that sometimes it physically hurts. I wish that you were here with us. You'd have some idea of how to fight this thing. You always knew just what to do and say.

This will probably be the last letter I write to you but I will never forget you.

I know that you're watching over me and we'll be together again some day.

Until then my love.

Your Soulmate
Willow

The End
