Love me Forever, Remember Me Always

Lyra stared up at the sky as tears rolled down her cheeks. She couldn't stop thinking about Will. She had left him exactly a year ago, but she could still feel his lips against hers. She sobbed in anguish, and Pantalimon crawled into her lap and licked her tears away.

As I walk along

Under a sky so blue The wind kisses my lips

And I think of you

A world away, Will was standing in the same place and cursed the same blue sky that Lyra was seeing. How could everything be so beautiful when his one true love had been taken from him? He touched his cheek, remembering the tear Lyra left there when they kissed goodbye for the last time.

And the way you used to Kiss my lips so well As I'm in life without you It all seems like hell

Unknowingly, they both sank down to the ground at the same time and cursed all that was good, Pantalimon and Kirjava let out a broken-hearted wail at the same moment, and sank painfully into the ground. Why did you have to leave me?

And I wish again

Though I know it's hopeless

That you hadn't left this world
Without one last kiss

Softly, Will and Lyra cried themselves to sleep, and both found themselves in a world completely different from anywhere they had been, yet strangely familiar. What is this place, Lyra wondered, but suddenly that didn't matter to her anymore. She found herself racing toward a very familiar and beloved figure. Hardly daring to hope, she whispered, "Will?"

He heard her unsure whisper and felt as though his heart would burst with happiness. "Lyra, Lyra!" He heard her sob and squeezed her tighter. "Oh Will, I missed you so much! We thought about you every day, me and Pantalimon, and we never went out with anyone, never. We couldn't-" She was suddenly silenced with his lips against hers. "I missed you too, Lyra," he whispered, "I don't want to leave you ever again." But before he could say more, the world began to shimmer. "Oh Will, what's happening now?" asked Lyra, frightened. "I think we're waking up, Lyra." "No, no, I don't want to wake up," she cried, clutching at him. "I don't ever want to wake up again, not if I'm here with you!" Will held her close, wanting to enjoy the last few seconds they would have together before waking up. Soon, Lyra herself began to shimmer. She saw, and began to clutch more desperately at him "No, Will, I don't want to leave you!" She cried, and with the last of her strength before waking up she whispered, "I love you." "I love you too." He whispered back, and the tears rolled down both of their cheeks as her shimmery form disappeared.

Lyra slowly opened her eyes, hoping that she would still be with Will, dreading that she wouldn't. As she feared, she was back in her own world, but in the same moment realized that her dream had been real. "So there is a way to see him," she told Pantalimon, "The angel was right."

But I know in my heart

Though I don't see you with my eyes

We're never truly apart

For true love never dies
