"Almost Lover"
Title: Almost Lover
Rating: PG, for slash
Pairing: Caspian/Edmund
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, sadly.
Summary: Edmund looks back on his relationship with Caspian, and now he realizes he was destined for heartache.
Author's Note: I thought this up while listening to "Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy. And FYI, the flower "Wormwood" means "Seperation and Torment of Love", so I didn't randomly pick that flower. I suggest you listen to the song while reading, it's quite beautiful and some of the lines eerily fit a Caspian/Edmund pairing!
We had something didn't we?
Something real,
Something that blooms
Like a Wormwood in Spring
That day, Surrounded by
Ecstacy and Revelry
You held my hand,
And looked into my eyes,
Liquid, Amber Brown into
Black as Night
Dancing around the Bonfire
And through the streets,
To the Woods,
Where we were
When you told me how you "Truly Felt"
But, it never was meant to be,
For destiny was against us
And we could not change it,
Not even with our choices
You were a Dream,
Exotic, almost Unreal,
That came in the Night
But had to leave in the Morn
"To be asleep all your life,
You miss the light of the sun"
Or so, Aslan said
Now, I go through life like
A Phantom,
At Night, I Imagine
Warmth next to me,
Then, we were allowed to
Be together again,
No matter for a short time
However, you were more
Intoxicated by Adventure than
Me
Than you met that girl,
So beautiful,
Hair like the Sun's light,
Eyes like the Sky on
A Lovely Summer day,
Skin like Alabaster,
You were under the
Spell of a Star
And now I know,
I am needed no longer,
I always knew you'd
Cause me heartache
Goodbye, my almost lover...
