The Missing OMWF song: Standing in the Way (reprise)

Author: blackbeltchic

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with anything affiliated with Buffy the Vampire slayer, everything belongs to the big wigs who gave it to us, and then took it away. I own nothing.

Dedication: I would like to dedicate this to Bek, because it is all her fault that I am now a BeeGee lover. Just blame her, I just did.

Author's notes: I have no clue how this came to me. I don't write poetry, normally, and I have only written one song in my entire life, and that was when I was 9. I was just updating my site...recoloring the OMWF lyrics, and this just hit me. It took a lot longer than I ever spend on a fic this size, but I knew this would be special, so I took the time. I hope this came out ok, but feedback would be great.

Summery: set during OMWF, after Sweet is gone, and Giles is alone in his apartment. In the true BeeGee fashion, his feelings for Buffy are more than fatherly, and I hope that's portrayed here.

Feedback: required

Giles: (even slower that Standing in the Way)

You're not ready

For the feelings inside....

I just keep pretending

But I could never hide

I know I said I'd be

Standing by your side...

But I...

Your trust's been broken

And your heart's been smashed

You've put them back together

But it just won't last

My feelings are slipping

And I must go fast

But I....

I wish I could do something

To make these feelings go

I wish I could flee this thing

That's been making me act so

But I...

The cries around me

I don't hear at all

When you're so close to me

My walls start to fall

So I just hide behind my books

When I should be standing tall

But I...

I wish I could lay these walls down

I wish these feelings wouldn't last

I wish I could tell of these feelings

But now that time is past

I wish I could stay

In your arms forever

Live this life together

Because I...

I love you and I always have

I wished I wouldn't, but that didn't last

And now I must leave fast....

Before you learn of this crime I've committed

But I...
