Disclaimer: I don't own CBB, the story or any of the brilliant amazing characters, okay? Great! So here's one of my usual fanfictions about everyone's favorite and beloved "space cowboy" Spike Spiegel! Enjoy!

Collection 1: A Dreamer's Life Story

It seems like it was only yesterday

When my fears and troubles faded away

I just want to know

I just want to see

Am I really alive?

Or is this some dream

A dream that seems so real

Or some nightmare in hell of what came to be?

I met you

I loved you

I waited there for you

You never came

Then soon after that this maniac dream flooded the way

I became a bounty hunter

Teamed up with Jet

Became comrades with Faye

Asked help from that kid

A simple way of living out

What I tried washing away

These phantoms, ghosts...

Get in the way

Vicious, Julia...

Memories astray

I only lived for her

Then she faded away

The other half of me

I could never again reclaim

I only had two things to live for in this hellish dream

To meet her again and to avenge my hell...

...That he gave me

My happiness taken

All the pleasures in life

That's all I lived for

Nothing more, nothing less

After I see

The light I wished for

It seems like yesterday

That this bad dream faded away....

But out of all this

There's one more thing I wanted to know...

I just want to know

What true sadness is

Living in this "muddy water"

Isn't that bad...

... If my life is once

A/n: What do you all think? I'll put up the rest of the chapters, and after the ones I've got nailed down are up, if I get 20 reviews I'll make more, okay? No flames, please. Thanks, and like they say "See you space cowboy/cowgirl."
