I dreamt of you again today.

Wind blown midnight and summer sky,
Burnished gold with deadly grace,
Flawed? so flawed, but all the more beautiful for it

Heh?guess there's still a Bard in here somewhere huh?

Four years Xena.
It's been four years since that?that sunset on Mount Fuji.
Four years since my whole world changed forever.
Four years since the shattering of my soul.

Three years?Oh?
Three years since I lost my hope.
The hope of hearing your heartbeat beneath your breast,
Of feeling it beating so strongly in time with mine.
Three years since I stood across from the God of War and heard him say there was nothing, nothing that could be done and you were gone?gone.
Gone

Six months?
Gods? Six months since the winds blew away all my tears.
Six months since I told you to go?just go and leave me be!
Gods be Damned Xena, you don't know! You can't know what its like!
Waking up everyday feeling safe, warm, happy, loved? Waking up in your arms and forgetting, just for a second? And then remembering and feeling my soul being ripped away from me again.

One more day?
One more day until I ride into Amphipolis,
One more day until I finally put your ashes to rest with your family

Gods know I don't want to?I want to scream and howl out my rage to the winds!
I want to rend the earth with the bitterness of my grief!
I want to tear the sun from the sky and let the world know the darkness I have lived with everyday since you left.
I want the fountain of my tears to have enough strength, so as to make you rise from your ashes like a phoenix!

But I have given enough tears.

You have found your redemption Xena, Its time I looked for mine?

I owe you so much? I owe you my life a thousand times over?
So I'm going to try to live it.

I love you Xena?Beyond life, beyond death, beyond reason.
Take care of my soul till next we meet,
Gabrielle.
