I don’t know why but I typed and this happened:

“Buffy, I love you.”

“Giles… “

“I don’t want you to say anything, because then I may have to destroy my illusion of happiness, so, please, just, listen. Buffy, I love you. I love you like no-one else in the world. And I know that this will end in pain and heartbreak and the only thing that is guaranteed when one admits such a love is that, inevitably it ends. And I know that you probably don’t love me back and I will understand if you avoid me from now on but I love you. I will always love you. No matter what happens, if you don’t love me, if you hate me, avoid me, if you are disgusted with me for my feelings, remember this - I am your watcher, and I will willing give my life for you. Because that would mean that in my final moments I could say, truly, that I spent my life with you.”
