"Please, Wesley,

Why can't I stay?"

My breath is getting shorter

As my life just fades away

The demon grows inside me

Illyria, they say her name

The world is getting darker

Nothing will ever be the same

Why....why can't I stay?

Please don't leave me here alone

Tell mom and dad that it was quick, I wasn't scared

But tell them that I won't be coming home

Please...why can't I stay?

Wesley, don't leave me, don't go away

I've finally found you, my dearest, my love

There's so much I have left to say

I love you, my Wesley, my sun through the gray

I wish that this wasn't good bye

Tell Angel and Spike that I know that they tried

Tell Loran and Gunn not to cry

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy, so please don't cry

I'm sorry my love, that this has to be true

I'm sorry, but this is good bye.
