A/N: My first Spike/Dru! Woo hoo! But I still couldn't help but add a hint of W/S at the end... What can I say? I'm a Willow/Spike shipper! It's what I do!

Feedback: Please review! I love it when you do!

'Dru, love, why can't you see how much I love you? This has to be love. Why else would I be watching you sleep after you bloody well left me. A damn chaos demon, she chose a sodding chaos demon over me! She said I was weak. Not even demon for her. Then she mentioned the bleeding helping the slayer incident. She's still upset about "losing Daddy." She wouldn't talk to me for a month after that. Doesn't she see how much I love her?'

iI love you completely

I guess I'm kinda mad about you

I love you, I love you I do

Love overcomes all of my senses

Lowers all of my defenses, yeah

And all of your faults vanish to a blind daze

Your bitterness erased by my sense of taste

And harsh words are deafened by love/i

'She thinks I left, she doesn't know I'm still here. Or maybe she does know. I never know with her. The stars say new things to her each day. But lately they've been talking more and more to her. She's been making less sense than usual, but that's never stopped me from loving my dark goddess before.'

iI love you completely

I couldn't be madder about you

I love you, I love you I do

I love you completely

There's nothin' I see bad about you

I love you, I love you I do/i

'No matter how hard I try, though, I'll never be as good as Peaches. He consumes her thoughts, and emotions. The bleeding pillock. I should have dusted him years ago, when he was sleeping. But no, I've always been too bleeding soft. I would have lost Dru completely if I had done that. But does it matter now? I've already lost her.'

iLove welcomes me to every new day

The stars are all falling down my way, yeah

And all of the planets are lined in the sky

The lights are shining down upon you and I

My world is stricken by love/i

'Nearly every day a new thought goes through her mind. I see her fighting more and more with Miss Edith. The damn doll keeps telling her to leave me. Says I'm not good enough for her. That my heart belongs to someone else. But Dru is also crazy. I mean she talks to the bleeding stars for Christ's sake. But then again, the stars are almost always right. I just wish that my princess would tell me exactly what was going on in that beautiful mind of hers.'

iKiss me over and over forever and ever my love

Kiss me all over and over forever and ever my love

The love I have for you

Makes me blind I can't see

The love I have for you

Cuts my throat I can't speak

The love I have for you makes me numb

I can't feel

The love I have for you makes me numb

I can't feel

I love you

Completely, yeah/i

'I would give my unlife for that ungrateful bitch! No, I didn't mean that. I- I just don't know any more. I used to know everything. I was the Big Bad. Slayer of Slayers and all that, but Dru has been known to turn me into a ponce. My Goddess, see what you have reduced me to? Yet at night when I dream, my dreams are never filled with my dark haired goddess. They're always filled with my fire goddess. My- now where did that come from. She's not mine at all. Then again, neither is Dru. I'll always be second fiddle to Angel. But with my fire goddess, I won't have to be. Hmmm... I may leave after all, Dru. Sunnyhell, here comes the Big Bad.'

iI love you, I love you - I do do do do/i
