Disclaimer: Of course they belong to Paramount, or more likely, to themselves Spoilers: Twilight Summary: I was with you. Author's Notes: This is a response to Hannah Moonmoth's lyrics challenge. The lyrics (below) are Enya's "Falling Embers." This is set during "Twilight" sometime during Jon's nine years on Ceti Alpha Five and is the ninth story of the Just Yesterday series (sequel to Afterglow) but stands independently. *** How Far From Morning Once I had everything I could want... stars flickering like embers through my viewport... Malcolm in my arms, his eyes outshining them all... hearts full of love and dreams for our future. Twilight now... the stars are fixed. They don't glow as they stream past, locked forever now into time and place. As am I, holding only memories and unfulfilled promises. When Malcolm visits, we cling to all that's left us... our past and the fleeting moment. His eyes still shine with love, but every morning I wake again to find him gone, along with the dreams... and the stars. *** Fallen Embers, by Enya Once, as my heart remembers, all the stars were fallen embers. Once, when night seemed forever I was with you. Once, in the care of morning in the air was all belonging. Once, when that day was dawning I was with you. How far we are from morning, how far we are and the stars shining through the darkness, falling in the air. Once, as the night was leaving into us our dreams were weaving. Once, all dreams were worth keeping. I was with you. Once when our hearts were singing, I was with you. *** NewMessage:
