Epilogue: The happy ending

"The day we met, frozen I held my breath"

"Elena"

I looked up to find myself gazing into the beautiful blue eyes that enthralled me the second they clashed with my own brown ones, Except he was a stranger then. Now? I know him. I know what makes him who he is. I know his choices, I know his words, I know how he loves to sing in the shower and how he actually is a hopeless romantic. I know him and he knows me.

"Right from the start, I knew I'd found a home for my heart"

"Don't, Damon"

"Why not?"

Why not? He was right. For once in your life, give in to the feeling Elena! But why couldn't I? I was scared. It was with Damon that I let the deepest, darkest parts of me run wild. For a moment, nothing mattered but him. His eyes. His smirk and that eye thing he does. But I'm afraid. Afraid of that part of me. I turn around to face the man who's quickly become a part of who I am, who's made me feel alive. One touch and I could feel my body screaming for more.

"Heart beats fast, colors and promises. How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow"

And the moment I see him, it feels like it's no longer the earth that's holding me down, but it's him. All I can feel is love and all I can see is him. It doesn't take long for me to make a decision now. The next thing I know is that I'm running towards the man that owns my heart and somehow everything feels right. His arms around me and my hands in his raven black hair, everything falls into place. I'm complete.

Damon

"Time stands still, beauty in all she is."

I think my heart just grew three sizes because Elena Gilbert is kissing me. Elena. All I can think of is how tiny she is and how perfectly she molds into me, and how damn amazing it feels to finally kiss Elena Gilbert. I don't know how but she always manages to make me feel like a twelve year old, makes me weak in my knees. How her doe brown eyes are the only thing that can make me do anything. How she knows, more than anyone and how I, Damon Salvatore, the most selfish man was ready to be just her friend if it meant that I could make her laugh. And oh what a laugh it is. It is when she kisses me that I realize that I'm more in love with her than I could ever be.

"I will be brave, I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me. Every breath, every hour has come to this"

Now that I've got her I know I won't let her go. No matter what, I won't let her hands leave mine. I want her. I need her. Like a parched man needs water. I've waited for true love for centuries, and now that I hold in my arms, the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on, I won't let her go. I'm not sure how or exactly when I fell in love with her, all I know is that one day I woke up and I just had to protect her. I started falling for her, how she looked right through the leather jacket, how she brings out the man in me. How she embraces both the dark and the light.

"I have died everyday waiting for you, darling don't be afraid, I've loved you for a thousand years and I'll love for a thousand more. All along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me."

Elena pulled away for oxygen and never in her life had she wished she didn't need to breath. She looked at his blue eyes and a warm feeling spread throughout her body. Leaning in she whispered, "You got the girl, Damon". I watched in amusement as his face broke into a boyish grin, "I did!"

As we laughed, I knew this was what I wanted. What I've always wanted, from the moment my eyes fell on the beautiful yet kind of creepy stranger. They'd come a long way since then but one thing had remained constant, Elena and Damon. And they always will be.

I really hope you guys liked it! Constructive criticism is more than appreciated, Please review and tell me if I should continue!
