What happened to the whole "I'm a vamp. You're a human. It wouldn't work." angst? Did he just get over that?
Well, he must have, to some extent, right? I mean, he's pretty darn in love with Cordy, but he's not really angsting over her being human (but then, so many other things for those two to angst over :P), so he must have come to terms with it to some extent. Angel the series is all about Angel forging connections with humans, so perhaps he's realized that those relationships are worth it, even if he'll outlive the humans.
And she was the one who put him on the path of redemption, so I think she'll always be "the one" to him, even though he doesn't think they should actually be together.
I can see that. And you know, actually, that's a pretty good way to describe Riley and Spike, too, at the point when they give her their speeches. Maybe not the redemption thing for Riley, but they both seem to realize that a relationship with Buffy is never going to happen, but they still recognize that she was special to them, and they love her anyway.
