I remember a few days ago, you kissed me.  It was the first time you even  showed an inkling of liking me.  And I was thrilled.  I had stared at you for  years upon years, sweet Darren.  Every time was bittersweet.  I loved you  since the day you opened your mouth in that garage, singing with a voice I'd  never heard before till then.  No, not even a thing that came close.  True,  you cracked on a few notes, lost your breath once or twice, but you made it  through, and with every note, I knew more and more you would be perfect for  our band.

  "Sir.  Mr. Jones..  you need to go to the hospital with us.  You need someone  to look at those cuts"   Cuts?  Oh yes, the rivulets of blood that smeared  down my cheeks from gashes in my forehead.  The surprising thing was that you  were in the passenger side.  You weren't supposed to have control over this.   Maybe if I had paid more attention on keeping my hands steady rather than  flipping the radio dial...

  But the needle came.  A slight pinch, a sting.... and then blackness.  Just  before I stopped thinking, one last desperate cry shot through my mind.  I  love you, Darren Hayes.  Though you might never hear it... I love you.

 "Wake up... come on, Daniel... wake up... please!"

  Who..?  No! It couldn't be!  You're DEAD!  Aren't you?  I dared to open my  eyes... one right after the other.  Everything felt stiff... disconnected.   But I was alive --

  And staring into the most beautiful blue eyes I'd ever hope to see in my  life.

  "Darren?"  I choked, afraid to truly believe this heavenly vision:: "Is that  really you?"  You only nodded... and I saw the glittering tears fall from  your eyes.  You looked like you went through hell and back, but you were  alive..

  "I.. I though I'd lost you..." That wasn't exactly right... You may be the  wizard of words, but I knew there was more I had to tell you.   Ah yes.    "I  didn't know what I had to loose till.. ..  till I saw them take you."

  And you kissed me.
