You'd never take anything I could offer you, but only if 
you would allow me to show you what you're missing out on.  
You're so beautiful, Agent Scully, like an angel.  You'd 
never know it though, no, you spend far too much time down 
in that dusty office with a man who could never comprehend 
how wonderful you are.  Your beauty, intelligence and 
dreams are so far above his comprehension , it forces me to 
laugh.  I bet your laugh is beautiful, like thousands of 
bells ringing at once.  He'd never allow you to laugh 
though, even if it was to one of his stupid jokes.  I'd 
allow you to laugh, but I'll never own you.  I could never 
cage such a beauty as you, no, you're meant to be free.  
You could go anywhere you wanted, from the bottom of the 
sea all the way to the stars.

Wouldn't you love that, my beautiful?  I could help you to 
the stars.  Hell, I could own the stars.  How would you 
like that?  How would you like to touch the stars?  I can 
offer them to you, I can ensure that it happens, unlike a 
man who only dreams of what's in the stars.  You know who 
this man is, however, he's not important, but you are.  
Yes, you are so very important, and not just to the men who 
think they own me.  No, you are important to me.  Although 
you can't see it now, you will someday.  You never notice 
when I look at you through your closed window at night.  
Your sleeping form slightly curls as you move to your side.  
What are you dreaming about, Agent Scully?  The stars?  The 
moon?  Perhaps, even in my wildest fantasies, you could 
dream of me?

No.  Never.  I can, and soon will offer you the stars, 
along with an offer I want you to take.  I need you to 
take.  Please, Agent Scully, take this offer along with my 
life.  But before I die, allow me one final honor.  Allow 
me to help you touch the stars.  They're so close to where 
I am, it's only a matter of time before you can touch them 
too.

Will you ever allow me to help you, Agent Scully?

Where are you tonight, my handsome stranger?  I wait for 
you nightly, waiting for you to capture my lips like in one 
of those intense, heart stopping dreams that I often wake 
up from.  My heart skips a beat every time I think of you.  
This can't be natural to have fallen into love with a 
person I hardly know.  What do I know about you, my caged 
love?  I know that you're alone, and I couldn't offer you 
anything.  Not that you'd want anything from me anyway.  
No, you could have anything you wanted.  You could have any 
girl in the world, why would you ever want me?  Me with my 
workaholicism and my second guessing everyone, which I'm 
sure you'd hate me for.

I should hate you, but I can't help but not.  You've caught 
me in your web and I've run out of ways to escape.  I'm 
yours now, not Mulder's.  I know that's what you think, if 
you even think about me.  Agent Mulder doesn't own me, 
although he believes he does.  I'm trapped in your web and 
I'm waiting for you to come and rescue me.  Time is running 
out, but I know you'll be here in time.  I have faith in 
you, I even trust you.

Trust.  Another thing I do that Mulder hates, and I'm sure 
you'd try to teach me about it's dangers too.  However, I 
no longer care.  I want, need, to trust you, Alex Krycek.  
I find sanctuary in those dark eyes of yours, the ones that 
are covered by the long lashes that only add to your 
overall beauty.

You're a complete man, and I couldn't offer you anything.  
But for some strange reason, I want to continue trying.  I 
want to hold you late at night, and comfort you from the 
hard world that is slowly destroying you the same way it 
suffocates me.  We could save each other, although I would 
never allow you to save me.

Would you ever allow me to save you, Alex Krycek?

Although
We're apart - your part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
