A/N: I am not sure where this came from but I was watching the clip between Damon and Alaric in 3x22 and this kinda happened.. So yeah here it is... (Warning; Suicide/character deaths)
Disclaimer: I don't own the vampire diaries
People say you only realise what you have when it's gone. You didn't believe them until now. The one person worth changing for just died in your arms before you could tell them how much they meant to you. How you were more than just lovers or friends with benefits. How you loved him. But now it's too late and you can feel your heart shattering, agony coursing through your chest and for the first time in over a century and a half you feel tears sliding down your cheeks. Weeks pass and no-one notices you are beginning to self-destruct, only he noticed before, so who would notice now? Every night you try drinking until you can't remember your own name but the pain is still there, breaking you bit by bit, crushing you. You know it's the coward's way out but as the sun caresses your body you can't help but feel relief because though your skin is being seared and your flesh is burning, it is nothing compared to the heart break. You know you'll see him again soon, you will see him again and you no longer have to drown your sorrows alone.
