A picture.
Just a picture of us.
Stefan and I.
Of our bright past, of our epic love.
I look at us, at how we used to be and I can't, can't deal with how we are now.
Because this is not us.
This is not how we're supposed to be.
There's nothing left of our bright past, aside from this photo.
There's only this dark present, this blind future. And this feeling.
A feeling of unknown emotions, of unwanted pains.
Things have changed, we have changed.
And that epic love is gone now.
But if i look at this picture, i do believe that my belief is fake.
Because you can't change love, you can't understimate it just because it's gone away from you.
It's love and is powerful by definition. It's the most powerful feeling in all the world.
That's when i do believe it's true.
It's true that we're going to come back together, it's true that no matter how things have changed and how we have changed, our love will rise again from its ashes, from our ashes.
It's not going to be epic anymore because we've gone through the highest obstacles and we grew apart little by little, but it's going to be just like a phoenix.
A phoenix which rises again, each time it feels as if it's the moment to die and come back to life again so as to grow up and learn from its mistakes.
This picture shows me this.
It's the evidence our love can still survive.
If it weren't like that, why would I feel this way?
Why would I feel so naked in front of his glance?
Why would I feel so powerless and at the same time powerful, whenever I look at him?
It's just a photo of us, of how we were and we're never going to be again, but i'll hold it the same, i'll keep it the same.
Just in case he'll come back to me.
Just in case that epic love can be restored with a phoenix which has known its limits and learnt how to go beyond them and reach te sky.
A phoenix whose feathers are as colorful as the rainbow with dark shades for sorrow and bright ones for happiness.
Just in case Stefan will understand how much i've always loved him, through the rain of pain and through the rainbows of joy.
Just in case he'll let me hold his hand, wrap his waist and hug him for the rest of my existence.
Because i know now which is the meaning of my life, the only one i'd want it to have. And i'd only want his life to have the same meaning.
In that case, we'll find our way back and we'll know for sure this picture was right.
An epic love never dies, but rises again.
You're looking in that mirror one day
And miss my arms
How they wrapped around your waist
I say that you can love me again
Even if it isn't the case
A/N
This fiction is set whenever you like it to be set ;)
I imagined it to be set during Stefan's absence in season 3, or after Stefan's gone (at the end of season 4) and Elena realizes she still has feelings for him.
Anyway, this fic is mainly inspired by Demi Lovato's song of the same name.

Hope you'll like it 3
