A/N I do not own BtVS. If I did Spike never would have died Review my story I'll review one of yours

When Spike woke up from his wonderful dream, the one where Buffy told him that she

loved him, he reached for Buffy only to find that she wasn't there. In her place there

was a letter, Spike picked it up and started to read it.

Dear Spike,

I left you this letter because I really had to go. I didn't want to because the only place I

feel wanted and loved is in your arms. Yes you read that right loved, I know you love me

so I feel like I should tell you this.

I love you. I know you don't believe me, but I don't know if I'll be able to see you

again. I'm going to the vineyard to kill Caleb, so I might not come back and tell you face

to face. I love you Spike and I think I always have in the back of my mind.

The first time I saw you at Parent Teacher night I thought you were cocky and full of

yourself, but in my mind you were VERY attractive. As I got to know you even a little I

relised that your Big Bad attuide was just the exterior. That you were more capable love

than Angel was even if I didn't want acknowledge that.

When you helped me defeat Angel my opinion of you changed. Before I thought you

didn't care about anything but yourself, but that helped me see how much love you're

capable of you risked death by Angelus to help me save the world.

Then when you came back after Dru left you and I saw you in the kitchen with my mom I

remember feeling sorry for and even empathic. I knew even then how it felt when you

were left by the one you love. When Angel left for good I wanted to die, I had that death

wish you told me about. And the weird thing was I wanted it to be you to kill me.

After you came back a second time I was relived to be fighting you again. And fighting

you with the Ring of Amara on, it was envigorating I wish now I would have kept that

stupid ring so you could have it back now that your good. When you got chip I

remember thinking that was good cause I couldn't kill you when you were helpless.

After Willow did her will be done spell I remember feeling you love for me then and I

felt more complete than ever. Willow broke her spell and I felt the loss and I hated it.

Adam tried to kill us and you helped but I see your reasoning even if I don't agree.

That next year was shear hell. I found out my sister wasn't really my sister, my mom had

a brain tumor, and Riely left me. When you told me there was something between us and

said that you loved me, I denied it because I thought I didn't want there to be. But I did I

enjoyed being with you more than anyone else then. When mom died Angel came back

and stayed with me at her grave and I kept wishing that it was you. After that things just

got worse. The only bright spot in my life was you, I trusted you with my sister and still

do. I think I knew that night I would die and I wish I would have told you how I felt then

but I couldn't the words got stuck. That's why in the Magic box I said I loved all of you I

ment you too.

When I was in heaven I saw you and the rest, you took care of my sister when the others

didn't.

I came back and you knew what I was feeling. I trusted you with my seceret, and you

kept it. My friends wanted me to go back to normal life so fast but you knew how hard it

was. After the song fest I knew that we would be together somehow. After our rather

interesting "relationship" when I told you using you was killing me it was true. That's

why I left you, not because I wanted too.

While you were gone it was horrible. I missed you so bad and so did Dawn. The only Thing I had left of you was that stupid coat you always wore. I put it on every day to try

and remember you. I forgave for the bathroom thing. It wasn't just your fault I should

have left how I did.

When you came back and I found about your soul that made me love you even more.

Then the First took you and I thought that just as I got you back you were gone for good

and I couldn't stand that thought. After I got you back I thought everything would be

OK, of course I was wrong. The First made you kill again and I thought I'd have to kill

you, I almost wanted you to bite me so I wouldn't have to. The chip was torturing you

and it was killing me. When it came out I still trusted you maybe even more than before.

And tonight you were wonderful. My love for reached it's peak tonight when you told

me how much you loved me. When I said I didn't want to be the one I lied, I do want to

be the one. It ment more than you know to me to have you just hold me tonight. And I

know I want to spend the rest of my life with you be it a few hours or an eternity.

I have to go now the next time I say that I love you it will be face to face. When I tell

you I want to know exactly what you were thinking when you read this. Say what you

were thinking and I know no matter what it will mean that you love me too.

Love Buffy

Spike's POV

I can't believe it my dream, it came true. Of course she wrote it in a letter and didn't tell

me face to face. She probably won't believe me when I tell her that my first thought was

"No you don't, but thanks for telling me."

And I CAN NOT believe she went after Caleb alone I have to go back her up. And more

importantly tell her my reaction to the letter.
