TILL YOU LOVE ME (1/1)

<I sent you roses
I warned you that I would
Do all that I could to show
You the way that I feel
Please, don't say I'm wasting my time
I've got nothing but time So I'll do
all that I can to catch
that ghost of a chance >

Willow looked at Spike. He was looking at her, curiosity in his eyes.

"Flowers pet? What's going on in that mind of yours?"

"I love you."

His eyes widened then he laughed, "No you don't. I listened to you after
the wolf left. Gratitude not love."

"Don't tell me how I feel. You have no idea. It's you. I need you."

"Horny I can handle. Not love. Not me. You're friends would kill you if
they knew what you're saying."

"My life. My decision. Why won't you give me a chance?"

"You're human, luv. I admit, you're a nice girl and all, but it would
never work. Look at your friend and Peaches."

< The sunlight, the moonlight
Are beyond my control
And there are stars in the heavens
That I'll never hold
But if dreams give you power
Then I'm strong enough to
offer my heart
And never give up till you
love me >

"That is different. She's the slayer. I'm just Willow. We can make it
work. There have been cases of it working."

He shook his head, not listening to her. "You're a good kid. You can
find yourself a nice breathing bloke. Someone that can see you in the
sun. You deserve that."

"I want you."

"Can't be." he said softly, his eyes looking at her seriously.

< I looked in your eyes, so
bright and so blue
And that's when I knew that
you could be mine
If good things come to those
Who will wait
Well, I guess I can wait if
That's what I have to do
Oh, it's worth it for you >

"You say that but your eyes say anything else."

He looked away, "Willow, please. Don't push this. As soon as this damn
implant gets out, I'm going to be back being the enemy. What then? Whose
side would you choose?"

"I love you" she said simply.

He looked at her and saw the honesty in her answer. "I'm not what you
need."

"Quit telling me what I need. I need you. Trust me, I've thought about
this. I know what this will mean. Chances are, I'll lose my friends. I
don't care. You made me fall in love with you. I can wait if I have to.
But, I'm not leaving. I can see in your eyes that you care."

He sighed loudly, "I do. I never wanted to but it happened. Seeing you
survive your broken heart. Seeing you every day. It can't work. I'm
sorry."

She pulled him to face her. "You love me."

He ran his hand over her face, "You love me."

"Why can't it work?"

"So many reasons, luv. So many reasons."

"We can make it work" she said softly.

He smiled softly, "We could try, I suppose."

He leaned over and caught her mouth in a gentle kiss.

< Till you love me >
