Time does not falter and it does not forget; and their tale, truly, is a tragedy-- in two parts. Once, they were together, and traveling held such wonders for her; though she was the only wonder for him. A war nipped at their heels even as they spun through their fantastic life, and finally, eventually, they were drawn to its center, unable to unknowingly orbit the chaos any longer. And fate, as it does, had plans neither could have seen -- nor have wanted to see. Torn away from him, impossible to return to her old life, she remains trapped in an alternate universe, forever aching to see him again. He continues to travel alone, his empty ship only serving to remind him how lively it used to be. Time had not saved them. But perhaps she could.

after the blue | sarah fimm . o5
A patient girl she waits as violets start to cringe again / The hollow moon she starts to bend
And fractured pieces of her distant youth / They fly above to soothe a heart that's seen the sky / After the Blue.

A dress made of air and webs and you / The way dreams evaporate as they come true

their lives, separated (the thought process):
Over The Wall is the theme for the helplessness of both to conquer what seems to be an expanse of white but is in fact the barrier between their realities. In their time apart, they can reflect, unwillingly, on what they might have done to have stopped this from happening -- become more ruthless, show more mercy, hold on tighter? And it is during this time that Rose will wonder if perhaps he was An Accidental Memory -- but she will shake her head at the thought, fingers pulling at her jumper. There was nothing accidental about them.
But then something happens -- she can hear a voice, his voice, and she begins to believe that she will walk with him again, will continue to journey through countless constellations at his side. But that is how Lovers Dream -- full of hope. They can manage a last glimpse of one another, but Where do I begin?, she will think. All that needs to be said could not possibly be spoken before they are closed off from another, surely?
He fades before he can tell her.
They reluctantly live their lives, painfully separated, and she never stops hoping, never stops working toward the day when she will see him again, After the Blue; somehow sense him through Pieces of Sky.
Only time knows if their paths will merge once more, and silently the gears of the universe begin turning.
