Spike is just sitting, staring at a photo of Buffy when Illyria enters the room.
Staring at him she inquires "Who is she?"
Spike looks at her a little startled as though he was in his own world and says "No one". He falters "It dosen't matter anymore."
Illyria speaks matter of factly "She obviously meant something to you otherwise you would no longer keep her image."
Spike sighs "She's the woman I love and a hell of a woman at that."
"She is then she still exists on this plane."
"Yeah, Italy last I heard."
"Yet you stay here even though you long to be with her. Why?"
"Because....Because" pained by the thought he whispers "she dosen't need me anymore."
Realizing it hurts for Spike to talk about her Illyria changes the subject "What is it like to experience love. I was given a glimpse with Wesley". She frowns and then continues "But I still do not understand its intricacies. Emotions are foregin to me."
"Love's not something to be understood. It's something to be felt. Its indescrible. Thousands of people try they try to put it into words, convey its emotion, its feeling through songs and poems and art but they never will. Love can't be put into words. It's not ment to be understood. Its.... the word, love it dosen't even do it justice. Is the most powerful thing in the world. It can be the source of your greatest pain and at the same time your greatest happiness. Its......efflugent." He smiles as he says the last word.

Author's note:
I actually do know what efflugent means. It means radiant.
