*1864*

I woke up before the sun

Chased your ghost across the yard

Through the fog and tumbling dark ‘til you were gone

Virginia

I can hardly breathe

I’ve forgotten how to sleep

And your face still haunts my dreams when I’m alone

So now I’m walking on a tightrope wire

Too far off the ground

I’m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

It was a dismal night, as Damon chased after her through the woods.

“Where are we going?” he questioned her.

“Everywhere!” she said back.

Finally, he caught up to her and she stood against a tree.

“Why must you run from me?”

“Because I know that you will chase.”

“Then let me chase you forever,” he said.

She made a cut by her collarbone. “I won’t feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it.”

“I choose you, Katherine,” he said, before feeding from the cut.

*Fool Me Once*

Yes

I’m walking on a tightrope wire

So afraid to fall

And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure it doesn’t matter at all

The things I gave away

They’re not coming back for me

Should’ve learned from my mistakes but I never do

As I lay here all alone I hang up before I call

And admit to all my faults to pass the time

So now I’m walking on a tightrope wire

Too far off the ground

I’m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

He stood in the tomb, looking around at the vampires, not seeing Katherine anywhere.

“She’s not here,” he realized. “She’s not here!” he yelled, throwing the blood bag against the rock wall.

*1864*

Yes

I’m walking on a tightrope wire

So afraid to fall

And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure it doesn’t matter at all

There’s a place we used to go

Today I went alone

If there’s a message in this song

Well I don’t know

It was a beautiful day, as he lay in bed, her on top of him. She changed her face to vampiric. When she did, he touched her face where the veins were, not afraid that she would hurt him, believing that she would never hurt him.

*The Sun Also Rises*

So now I’m walking on a tightrope wire

Too far off the ground

I’m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

Yes

I’m walking on a tightrope wire

So afraid to fall

“So, what? 145 years and no last goodbye?” Katherine questioned him after finding out that he’d been bitten by a werewolf.

“For you? You don’t get a goodbye,” he replied.

*As I Lay Dying*

And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure

So now I’m walking on a tightrope wire

Too far off the ground

I’m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth

She rested a hand on the side of his face after having him drink the cure, hoping it wasn’t too late. She acted like she didn’t care, but she did care. She cared more than he would ever know.

He looked at her.

“You came.”

“Of course I came. I owed you one.”

He silently watched, as she left.

*The Return*

Yes

I’m walking on a tightrope wire

So afraid to fall

And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure

And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure it doesn’t matter at all

It was a dismal night at the Salvatore boarding house, as they made out in the living room, her against the wall, going at vampire speed, as they did so.
