A/N: I had nothing to do and I had the verse, 'forever is now.' stuck in my head, I don't know where it was from; I just had it stuck in my head. Why let a good saying go to waste so I wrote a poem/thoughts thing from Alanna and Jon. And it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself which I normally don't. It's kinda sad and emotional but I think you'll like it. Oh yeah, this is dedicated 4 my library teacher (Mrs. Whelan) if she ever reads it which I hope 2 hell she doesn't.

Forever is now.





Jon:

I was you're prince, you were my people

I was you're companion, you were my friend

I was you're knight, you my squire

And so that went on until we found love

From then on, we were lovers

Until I wanted to take it a step further

But that was a mistake.that I will regret



You had your pride, me my ego

I was stubborn, you were not ready

Emotions gone in the blink of an eye

Rain of angry words passing us by

Till the end of time I vow

If you want me forever

Then forever is now.



All these months I could never forget you

No matter how hard I tried I never overlooked you

Every single day, every hour, every second

You were in my every thought, I could not disregard you

It was then that I felt guilt for what I had done

I intended to make it right

For from my guilt I could not run



Suffering from an illness, my mother had died

Several days later, my father committed suicide

Then I realized how I had lived my days

Half of me had gone when we went our separate ways

Till the end of time I vow

If you want me forever

Then forever is now.



I saddled my horse and went to look for you

My parents' had died I did not want to loose you too

I galloped everywhere from the east to the west

And yet, still could not find you though I tried my very best

I traveled everywhere in Tortall for more than a month

What I did not know was that you had journeyed far more

But you came back to me, eventually



You said you wanted to be with me forever

You said you wanted to love me always

You said you wanted your love returned

You said you wanted the past to be burned

Till the end of time I vow

If you want me forever

Then forever is now.



But yet you still rejected me

No matter how hard I tried, you refused me

Everything I did, you renounced me

And slowly it started to sink in, that you did not want me

You did not want the life; you did not want to be queen

You wanted to be free, to speak you're mind

And with me, that would never happen so I let you go



I found someone to marry, you found someone to adore

I love Thayet; you love George

Our paths are no longer entwined; we have gone our separate ways

My wife is beautiful and mild but.she is just not-you

Till the end of time I vow

If you want me forever

Then forever is now.



Alanna:

The days of our weddings was when I realized my mistake

I should have married you but now it is too late

I cried not for joy but for my loss

You were my one true love, my heart, my soul

Without you by my side, I feel lost forever more

I shouldn't have let my fear take over

For true love concurs all and is above all, isn't that what they say?



I loved you and still do and always will

No matter what happens, my heart will always be yours and yours mine

We are both married and can't turn back on our families

I am too honor-bound to do as such though I know that you have tried many a times

Till the end of time I vow

If you want me forever

Then forever is now.



Even though you are king and have a duty to your country

I feel that you will always be mine regardless

I love you and I can tell that you are still in love with me

Sometimes the way you look at me with those sapphire eyes

Please don't do this to me; we cannot betray our spouse

Think of all the people we would hurt, all the hearts we would break

I know that they say true love can never stay apart but just this once let us go against them



We might not be together now but someday, I promise you

When you no longer have Thayet and I, George

When I do not serve the country and you are not king

Someday, and when that day comes, nothing will hold us apart, nothing

I will wait a million years if I have to but I will wait for you just as you will for me

Till the end of time I vow

If you want me forever

Then forever is now.
