Hey all I am so sorry that I havent been writing. College has been evil and I havent been able to do anything. I guess this is a dream of Keith's from my finished fic Longing for My Broken heart… Well it goes quite well…. Enjoy I suppose.

Evanescence – Even In Death

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong

Keith knew that he had seen a glimpse of her; he was so sure of it. He had seen her in the crowd, that ghostly whisper of her being. She had been his light among the dark shadow of time. Yet time had taken her, he knew that and he brushed off the thought, it was a memory; wistful thinking.

Moonlight on the soft brown earth

He walked down the road; he was so sure that it had been her; why did he feel so bitter about it? Their parting had left him stranded without her; she was finding out about her family and too in love with her job to even notice his feelings for her. Yet maybe she had, he was not sure but either way it meant nothing, not anymore.

If only he knew what it was, could it have been her at all or just another who looked similar? Time would never tell him, he was sure of that. He shrugged and carried along the dark alleyway, it was then that he found that he was being pulled to an open house with a balcony, one of the very few that had such a feature.

It leads me to where you lay

He heard singing and he looked up to the window facing out on to the balcony, and what he saw made him jump in shock…. It was Margarete. Quickly he jumped up onto the balcony and took a deep breath. He walked up to the window and rapped on the glass.

At first she didn't hear but the second time she turned around. Her hands were in her hair placing pins into the golden locks. Her arms fell slowly as she saw him, she was as graceful as ever and it was then that he realized that she was perfect; she was the same beautiful Margarete.

They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home

Margarete came slowly to the window with a wary smile upon her flawless face. As she opened it Kieth could hardly believe his eyes. She was here, she was alive, and she was beaming at him like she used to so long ago.

"Well Well, Keith since when do you jump up on my balcony?" He did not answer; he just wrapped his arms around her and began to silently cry…. At last he had found her, time would not steal her from him, not again.

I will stay forever here with you
My love

He knew she was surprised but he did not care, he would hold her for all the time that he had lost. Whether she wished away with him he would not let her leave; he had her and never would they part.


The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on

"Margarete, why did you leave?" He still clung to her as if she would discintergrate within his very arms. She did not have to answer, he did not care; the fact of why was not his concern, only that she was there was the only thing that mattered.

Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love

"I will tell you all later…." She spoke quietly as she stroked his hair. He closed his eyes and he felt as if he was back in the days of being with her, the whole group. He clasped her tighly almost trying to hold onto the thought.

They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me

If only the journey hadnt have stopped; if it kept going forever, and she had stayed. Maybe in the end she would have let him bring her into the immortal world, maybe, maybe... He didn't know and he couldnt care less; either way she she was here and that was all he needed to know.

"Margarete don't ever leave me again."


And I can't love you, anymore than I do
