Like I'm Gonna Lose You (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows
We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone
Woke up in tears
With you by my side
Breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
She and Elijah stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. He'd just told her that he was leaving town.
He rested a hand on the side of her face and she pleaded for him to stay, saying, "It's our turn, Elijah. Please."
"Katerina." For a moment, he looked at her. Then he kissed her on the forehead. "Goodbye, Katerina." Then he was gone.
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love
Like I'm gonna lose you
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him in Pennsylvania.
"What do you want?" he questioned.
"To tell you that you're right. I've spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I—I'm starting to believe my own lies. I don't even remember who I was when we first met. And I want to find out."
"How do I know this isn't another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man?"
"Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I'd like to think that you feel something for me, too."
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know
So I'll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
And I'll make the most out of the minutes
And love with no regrets
Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no
We're not promised tomorrow
It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alleyway.
"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he accused her.
"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. I love you." She rested a hand on the side of his face. "Elijah."
He turned his face away, and she dropped her hand.
"You don't believe me."
"I want to. It's my disease. I just keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don't know you. I don't think I ever will."
He began to walk away.
She watched for a moment, before catching up with him, and put a hand on his arm.
He looked at her hand on his arm, then her, then her arm, and then her again.
She let go, getting the hint.
"Goodbye, Katherine."
She watched, as he walked away
*500 Years of Solitude*
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
It was a dark night, as the doctors tried to revive her at the hospital. She'd been found at the bottom of the stairs and brought in, after she'd had a heart attack.
Twenty minutes later, she was finally revived, and they put her on bedrest. The doctors didn't think she'd live the rest of the night.
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
And I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed at the Salvatore boarding house, on bedrest. She was resting, but then felt someone sit on her bedside. Curious as to who would come see her on her deathbed, she looked, only to see that it was Elijah.
He gave a smile, and she smiled back.
"You're here," she greeted.
She rested a hand on the side of his face.
"Katerina," he greeted back. There wasn't much to say, since she was dying, and they hadn't seen each other since she'd watched him walk away. She understood though, he knew. She knew that family came first to him. Just because he left, didn't mean he didn't still love her. He hated to see her dying, but that was the curse of being a vampire. Outliving someone you love that's not a vampire. She was a vampire, but her anger had gotten her into this situation, when she'd tried to kill Elena. Elena had shoved the cure down her throat, since she didn't want to die. "Close your eyes," he told her.
"But I want to see you," she said, her hand now off his face and back on the bed.
"You will," he assured her.
She closed her eyes and he went inside her head, giving her a peaceful dream world.
*1492/Dream World*
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
It was a beautiful day, as they played chase with each other.
"You're meant to catch me," she said with a laugh and a smile.
"But if I catch you, then the game will be over," he replied to her.
They went to sit on the bench next to each other, and she spoke of love.
"True love is not real, unless it is returned. Do you agree?" she said.
"I do not believe in love, Katerina."
"That is too sad for me to accept, my Lord. If we cease to believe in love, then why would we want to live?" she replied.
When he gave her a peaceful dream world, it was the moment in 1492 that they had connected, even though he hadn't wanted to connect with her, but had fallen for her from that moment on.
They shared a moment and kissed.
