I love you too :>

PS: Dan, I'll be writing some more serious fanfic over the next week 
as I sojourn to Australia. Me + Hotel = Fanfic.

Buffy stared at the flowers - red roses - that lay upon her pillow. 
She frowned. Who would leave her flowers? It wasn't Spike's style. 
She peered at the card.

"If roses were brown would we still love them? 
Without their beauty, are they still beautiful? 
Without the mask of favoured scent, 
would they still be attractive to our uneducated eyes? 
If I were beautiful, do you think you could love me? 
Even as I am, do you think you could love me? 
Or are you only attracted to the prettiest flowers 
with the sweetest of scent and the sharpest of thorns? 
For I am no rose; I have neither beauty nor thorns, 
but I can love you like no other can; 
for my love will never wither, never fade, never die 
and never prick your tender fingers. 
Yet your eyes lead you only to deceit, 
for you never knew the pain-flayed heart 
that burns within this jaded shell. 
Shall you find happiness within the treachery 
of thine austere and lacklustre senses? 
I have no answers to give, only wishes left unanswered, 
and dreams unborn upon my sorry lips."

Buffy swallowed away the lump in her throat and, nervously, knocked 
lightly on the door to the bedroom next to hers.
