Have you ever had totally liberated, free love for someone with no condition attached whatsoever? Just pure love that can't even hurt you because their joy is your joy even when you can't have them? it's completely selfless, soul connected shit that you'd be lucky to have slowly kill you.

“Love is seeing someone. Love is putting their needs before your wants. Love is being willing to sacrifice something because you care more about them than about yourself. And if the person you’re with isn’t acting that way, it’s not love. At least not yet. Like could it evolve into that? Sometimes. But even then it only evolves into that if you establish kind of like what the guidelines are, right? What the barriers are, what the boundaries are, is the word I’m looking for. We often confuse attachment for love, or attraction for love or even affection. Spike started with attraction, and then attachment, and that’s, we see that as passion, but that’s, attraction and attachment often lead to possessive behaviour, controlling behaviour, abusive behaviour. Affection is a step closer to love. Affection is tenderness and kindness and consideration, but it only blossoms into love when there is no expectation of anything in return. When you love somebody, you want their happiness. You may want that happiness to be with you, but even more than that, you want their happiness, even if it’s not. And how you can tell that this is actual love in his case, which is confusing to him, he’s never experienced this before, is that he is putting himself second. Now that can be taken to an extreme. Obviously, you can put yourself second over and over and over again in a relationship and just get walked on, but in a healthy relationship, it goes both ways. That is the difference in my mind between love and imitation love, what we often confuse with love.”

This is one of the best scenes in the whole show. Certainly the best scene in Season 7. But more than just the scene itself - for what follows after it. I’ve mentioned this before. But you have every other coupling of the episode having sex but Spike and Buffy just holding each other on the bed in an abandoned house. Very reminiscent of the abandoned house they destroyed to bits in their sex scene in ‘Smashed’. And putting those two scenes in juxtaposition with each other would reveal the striking differences between them. One is actual connection, the other is possession. It all about what one can get out of the other. But the ‘Touched’ scene as part of a montage where everyone else but them is having sex shows just how much it’s not about that anymore.

Aside from Riley, Spike is the only man to still be there in the morning when Buffy wakes up to face Caleb. And aside from Riley, Spike is the only man to tell Buffy that she’s a hell of a woman. But only when possession and obsession has left the narrative.

There was only ever two guys that truly loved Buffy for all that she was. The problem was one always put himself second and the other never did - until now. Unfortunately the other guy never stuck around long enough to learn how to. Sorry to Bangel shippers.

To the rare breed of people who go all in. 👇

Who keep their word.

Who give it their all.

Who put themselves last for those they care about.

These individuals rarely receive the same compassion and effort in return yet continue to give freely. To you givers, forgivers and selfless lovers out there... Keep pushing forward and don't let this cold world change who you are.💫

My feelings for you were so strong I had to find a way to make love selfless. So even though I'd travelled all this way just hoping I might see you, if seeing me was bad for you, I wouldn't.

Agape, selfless love

To love selfless is the key to happiness 

When all this world is but a mess

To give love to those undeserving 

They only are hurting

Loving selfless needs nothing in return

For the love itself is the hearts soft burn.

Providing heat to those who want to learn

Loving someone how they want to be loved or caring for someone the way they want to be cared for

vs

Loving them the way you want to love them and caring for them the way you want to care for them

Is a very vast difference and an important one at that. We miss that often, when we care for and love others no matter the nature of the relationship between the two of you, not only are we devoting our love and energy to that person the way we do we’re also asking them; “what do you need from me?” “How can I love you?” “How can I make you feel loved?” “How can I make you feel cared for or care for you in the best way possible?”

This is why we consider healthy relationships to be an equal give and take. When you love someone genuinely and you care about them, you take the time out to consider what works for them and what doesn’t, what makes them feel safe and comfortable, how their minds work, etc etc. that’s why we never settle, because someone who is supposed to be for you will be for you in all the ways that matter.

Of course, the way you love is incredibly important but the way your person wants to be loved is extremely important as well especially when we’re talking about long term partnerships and connections and stepping outside of ourselves and our own personal definition of love,affection,desire, and support.

I hope one day you'll understand...

That your happiness, depends on you

That your life, is worth living

That your scars, make you even prettier

That you deserve, and can, live a happy life

That you can heal, but you'll have to face your own demons, and that love, faith, and will, are the best weapons for winning this battle.

I hope, that one day you can see yourself in the same way that I see you. I dream, that one day you can love yourself, at least half as much as I love you.

I pray (and I'm not even the praying type), that one day you can make it through this darkness, that if I can't help you, someone else can.

I pray that you can find peace while alive, and if you die trying, i pray that you can find peace in the afterlife.

I pray that you can live a long, healthy, happy life, even if i'm no longer in this world.

Please, survive, but don't just survive... fight, breathe, appreciate, learn, evolve, dream, help, love, laugh, smile, achieve, achieve especially things that make you feel better about yourself. Live your life, with a burning heart, and with a strong desire, follow your heart; but take your brain with you, when you feel like you should.

- Someone who won his war against himself.
