Notes
- Song is "A Thousand Years" by Sting

- This story is based on the series and it reflects Spike's thoughts to Buffy regarding his love for her.

- I must also thank my Muses for helping me finish this quickly.
- Last but not least, I would like to point out that I prefer Spike shippers with Willow and/or Angel.
- Oh, and the italics are the thought-thingy.

A thousand years, a thousand more
I could live a thousand years, and a thousand more
A thousand times, a million doors to eternity
I  could live over again, I could live for eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
I could live a thousand lives, I could live them again
An endless turning stairway climbs to a tower of souls
I lost mine, I would never get it back
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars
I would NEVER get it back
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could take all the souls away
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths
I could cry forever, but I'd thrown his breath anyway
A million names but only one truth to face
I knew everyone, but knew only one

A million roads, a million fears
I could walk around forever, I could fear however
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
Never walk under countless suns, but living forever
I could speak a million lies, a million songs
I could live and lie, I could sing all his life
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
I could be good, I could commit sin
But if there was a single truth, a single light
If there was just one
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Just one
Then following this single point , this single flame
And then now
The single haunted memory of your face
I'm telling you

I still love you
I still love you, after these years
I still want you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
I don't know why
Like galaxies in my head
No idea in space

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may multiply, I may not
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
I may learn, I may not
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
I could rule as Master
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could waste my life
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
I could die again and again, and be eaten by my own kind again and again
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
I could die, and become a Slayer
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I could leave my killing days, or steal lives like any other
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief
But I won't, but I still know

I still love you
I love you
I still want you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
I don't know why
Like galaxies in my head
No idea in space
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
I keep on thinking
Eternities still unsaid
But I have no answer
Till you love me
Until you love me
