Because You Loved Me (Kalijah)

*Pennsylvania*



For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

I'll be forever thankful baby

You're the one who held me up

Never let me fall

You're the one who saw me through it all



        It was a beautiful day, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah. 

        "Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he accused. 

        "No. Of course, you're not a means of survival. You looked out for me, when I had no one. You've given me a second chance now, when no one else will." She rested a hand on the side of his face. "I love you. Elijah."

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me



        After realizing that she was in danger and had found out where, he'd entered the abandoned warehouse and slaughtered the vampires who'd wished to, and had harmed her. 

        Afterward, he blurred to her side and pulled out the stake, once knelt by her, and with her against him, he bit his wrist to save her, since she was almost fully desiccated.

        He put his wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat, saving her life.

You gave my wings and made me fly

You touched my hand I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love I had it all

I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I don't know that much

But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you



        It was a beautiful day, as Elijah spoke on the phone. Stefan had said that Rebekah had joined the good guys. After Elijah told him how much she despised Katherine, Elijah gave a threat to him. 

        "If anything whatsoever happens to Katerina, I will descend upon Elena."



*500 Years of Solitude*



You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life

You've been my inspiration



        It was a dismal night, as the doctors tried to revive her. She'd just had a heart attack tonight at the boarding house. 

        As the doctors tried their best, Caroline, having a good heart and knowing how much she meant to Elijah, called him and explained what he'd missed, and what had happened. 



Through the lies you were the truth

My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me



        After she was revived and he'd gotten to town and the hospital, he sat on her bedside, knowing that he couldn't save her. She was dying and he couldn't heal her. The one person he knew he should be able to save, he couldn't. All he could do was to stay with her until the end, and try to give her peace.
