    Willow had started to protest Spike carrying her, but it felt so good to
be in his arms again.  She prayed to her Goddess that she wasn't in a dream
like so many times before.  They walked into her house, and he took them
into the family room.  It was a comfortable room, lacking in personality,
yet filled with comfortable amber colored furniture.  Taking them to one of
the large, poofy looking couches, Spike sat down, holding Willow securely in
his lap so they could really talk.  She wrapped her arms up around his neck
more, not wanting to let go of him, fearing things would be different, would
change right before her eyes if she did.

Feels like I'm standing in a timeless dream
Of light mists and pale amber rose
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Touching discovering you

    "Willow,"  he started, using her real name instead of one of the pet
names he usually used, showing that it was a really serious conversation, "I
never meant to hurt you luv, I just..."

    Willow cut him off, kissing him softly on the lips.  She knew now that
all he had said the night a few weeks before was true.  She had been being
an over-emotional, jump-the-gun female then.  Outside, she could hear a
light summer rain beginning, and she smiled against his lips.

Those days of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless summer night air
Secret moments shared in the heat of the afternoon
Hours of the stillness
Soft spoken words
Say say it again

    "I was stupid Spike.  I'm sorry I didn't talk to you, or even listen.  I
m sorry that I left...I'm just...I'm sorry."  Spike just smiled, wrapping
his arms even more surely, comforting and protectively around the small
woman's body.

I love you always forever
Near and far closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will be for you

    Looking deep into Spike's cerulean eyes, Willow could feel all her fears
and doubts melt away.  This was where she belonged.  It was where she wanted
to be from now on, and it was almost like getting into magic.  One minute
she had been unsure, she had been Jewish, and then she had felt it all wash
over her, the power, the serenity, and she knew the truth, she was a witch.
Now she knew the truth about how she felt about him, "I love you Spike,
always, forever and a day."

You've got the most unbelieveable blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got me almost melting away
As we lay there under a blue sky with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness a magical time
Say say it again
I love you always forever
Near and far closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will be for you

    At first, he didn't answer.  She wasn't sure she had done the right
thing in telling him about her feelings so soon.  Maybe she was frightening
him away, even demons could get scared.  Before, Spike had never had to
think before responding to her love, but now...well it seemed like he did.

    Spike's new ability let him see the truth, to feel it, and it shocked
him.  She had never said it that way before, not with so much feeling, he
had wanted her to, but she hadn't.  When she started to pull back, he held
her all the tighter.

Say you'll love love me forever
Never stop never whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything
Say you'll love love me forever
Never stop never whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything

    "I'm sorry, too, luv.  I should 'ave trusted you more, I should have
known you wouldn't leave me because of what I am,"  as he spoke, he could
feel her relax once more, now that she knew he wasn't disgusted by her
admission, "And, Willow?"

    "Yes Spike?"  she asked, looking deep into his eyes once more.

    "I'm going to love you always and forever too."
 

I love you always forever
Near and far closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will be for you
