A very lovely banner. And yes, I think the song would speak to Spike. It is very much how he felt. He didn't feel he was worthy of her love. But I believe Buffy loved Spike. As Cassie in season seven's "Help" told Spike, " She'll tell you. Someday she'll tell you."

I wrote this drabble called " Freudian Slip" based on a scene in "First Date":

It started out so innocent.

Just girlfriends talking girl talk while folding laundry.

Willow just said it was good that Buffy had a date with Principal Wood.

It was good she was moving on.

“Why does everybody in this house think I'm still in love with Spike?”

Buffy freezes as soon as it slips out.

Willow’s eyes go wide.

Thankfully, Xander distracts Willow with news about his own date.

Buffy can’t believe she said that.

It was a slip. That’s all it was.

She tells herself that, but she saw Willow’s reaction to it.

She isn’t. She never was. Crap.
