Time

Summary: Set in a S2 1864 flashback, S3 "The Reckoning," and S5 "500 Years of Solitude."

*1864*

Well, the streets are empty where we used to run

And the cars are all on fire

Yeah, we fall like leaves in the garden of

Eden...

Eden...

Now remember how it felt being in the sun

When I heard the ancient choir

In the dead of night like an angel

Singing...

Singing...

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

"Where are we going?"

"Everywhere!" she replied.

* The Reckoning*

Yeah, time doesn't love you anymore

But I'm still knocking at your door

Honey we can run forever

If forever it's what's in store

Oh

Time

To take me home

On a tree in the garden

I carved your name

In a word is spelled desire

Like an ocean deep with the waters

Heaving

Heaving

And the love pours down like a waterfall

And I can't escape the tide

Here's my hand, baby take it or

Leave it

Leave it

While he was driving, Katherine kissed him. He kissed back, but after a moment, he pushed her away.

"What are you doing?" she asked him.

"Thought I'd give it a shot. Truth is, you just don't do it for me anymore," he replied to her.

She looked at him silently. His words had hurt, but she didn't show it, knowing it was her fault for telling him that she never loved him a year ago.

*500 Years of Solitude*

'Cause time doesn't love you anymore

But I'm still knocking on your door

Honey we can run forever

If forever it's what's in store

Oh

Time

To take me home

Home, home...

Now we're too young to recognize

That nothing stays the same

Promise I won't be the one to blame

As she lay on bed rest that day at the Salvatore boarding house, she was stuck in the past when her family was slaughtered.

Damon sat on her bedside and went inside her head, seeing that she was in the memory of weeping over her mother. He'd gone there to cause her pain and misery, but a part of him felt sorry for her. It seemed as though she was close to her mother like he had been with his whom also had died. Her mother was the only person she grieved over.

*The Reckoning*

'Cause time doesn't love you anymore

But I'm still knocking on your door

Honey we can run forever

If forever it's what's in store

Oh,

Time doesn't love you like I love you

So take me home

Home, home...

Let me hear you say

Let me hear you say

"You're gonna get yourself killed! The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid," she yelled after him, as he walked away.

He stopped and turned to look at her.

"I wouldn't have done it for you."

She watched, as he walked away.
