Buffy suddenly realized what he must think and caught his shoulder.
"No" she smiled. "You don't understand"
Buffy:
Cautions in the wind
The hardest part is through
You don't have to try so hard
To make me fall for you
I've surprised myself
With what I've gone and done
Just today I heard myself
Swear you were the one
Laugh I just have to laugh
I really thought you knew
I can't believe
That you're asking me
When I will love you
I already do
I already do
You've been doing fine
Please don't change a thing
It's too good to hide away
So I might as well come clean
I didn't shout it out
But everybody knew
Funny you're the only one
Who didn't have a clue
Laugh I just have to laugh
I really thought you knew
I can't believe
That you're asking me
When I will love you
I already do
I already do
I gave you my heart
Can't you feel the power?
You want to see the light
Baby the sun's been up for hours
Laugh I just have to laugh
I really thought you knew
I can't believe
That you're asking me
When I will love you
I already do
I already do
All the girls were crying as Buffy wrapped her arms around Spike and kissed him. Even Xander didn't look quite as mad as everyone thought he would.
"Don't look so shocked" smiled Buffy. "I've loved you for a long time; I've just never admitted it to myself"
"Why?" asked Spike softly.
"I guess I was afraid you'd leave" whispered Buffy.
"I'd never leave you pet" smiled Spike as he kissed her. "Never" he vowed.
"I love you" smiled Buffy softly.
"I love you too" grinned Spike.
