Buffy opened Spike's door quietly, "Spike?" she called. No answer. She walked over to the table where a piece of paper lay crumpled up slightly. She carefully flattened it out and read it.


'Sweetdreams'


'You say hello
And I die
I open my eyes
And you're gone

Who would have thought
I'd end up like this
Can't escape the thought
Of our last kiss

You say sweetdreams
And I think of you
I want to sleep
But it's all sweetdreams that won't come true

It's only the sweetdreams where I can touch you
Without you running away
It's only the sweetdreams where I can say I love you
And you say it back with alot more feeling
It's only the sweetdreams where I can save you from everything
Only the sweetdreams baby
Only the sweetdreams

I have nightmares when I'm awake
Reality beats me down, more than I can stand
I give you everything I have to give
And yet you don't give a damn
About it
(Or anything)

I've tried forever
I've done everything I can
Or maybe, all that I can't do is what you want
But I can't take it
More than I can fake that
I only have sweetdreams when I have nightmares
And when you smile
I just want to go straight to hell
Cause I know that you will never be satisfied
With the way I really am
(Nor will I)'


She glanced down at the bottom where a quick signature was written. 'William'
