Songfic based on the television show The Vampire Diaries and the song "Lily's Eyes" from The Secret Garden, this scene takes place after Damon has just met Elena and Stefan has basically just shooed her out of the house in 1x02. I OWN NOTHING. Not even Damon, much to my chagrin...

Lyric Guide:

Damon

Stefan

Both


Strangely quiet

But now my thirst slowly rests,

To strike again.

Waiting, watching, I think of her…

I think of her…

Strange, Elena—

She leaves me here, yet remains;

She lingers on.

Something stirs me to think of her…

I think of her…

She broke our brothers' bond,

Bewitched us with her lies,

And now we find this girl who has her eyes!

She has her eyes!

This girl has Katherine's dark brown eyes

And, somehow, has the rest of her as well!

How Stefan can ignore it, I can never tell;

I look at her, and all I see are

Katherine's eyes!

She has her eyes!

This girl has Katherine's dark brown eyes!

I hardly understand! How can this be?

Why can I not be rid of that sad memory

Of long ago, when last I looked at Katherine's eyes?

In Katherine's eyes, a playground

This world seemed to be,

And I, the playmate that she chose!

My leader fair was she!

She has her eyes,

She has my Katherine's dark brown eyes!

Those eyes that loved my brother, never me!

Those eyes which strayed so cruelly,

Never cared I longed

To hold her close and live at last in Katherine's eyes!

Imagine me, a lover!

I longed for the day she'd change and love me best again,

If fate had let her stay!

She has her eyes!

She has (my) Katherine's dark brown eyes!

Those eyes that made me happy long ago!

Those eyes that first I loved so!

How can I now forget that year I ceased to be

In love, alive, and human

In Katherine's eyes!

In Katherine's eyes!
