| "Borrowed Time" Catching Ryder Disclaimer: I don't own Dark Angel or any of the characters in it, I'm just a fan doing what I know--writing from my heart. Summary: Max thinks about her relationship with Logan. Spoilers/Timeframe: Occurs after "Borrowed Time". Rating: PG A/N:I wrote this after watching the episode entitled 'Borrowed Time' and it's just my feelings on how their situation could be translated in 'real' life. It made me think about the relationship I was in and how easy it is to just let things slip away thinking that we'll always have that tomorrow when tomorrow's really promised to no one. ***** We dance around each other as though we'll always have that tomorrow and we forget that what we're actually living on is borrowed time. But we don't know exactly how much time that is: maybe years, maybe months, or just ten hours and fifty minutes. No matter how long the clock will always be counting down. Somewhere you need to be, a flight I need to catch, a world to save, another life that we have to lead that's keeping us apart, fate working against us. We're afraid to tell each other how we feel, thinking that there's something wrong in being the first to admit that I can't face tomorrow without you in my life. So the words go unspoken and so many moments lost without reason. Too many smiles that go unsmiled, hugs and kisses we never feel. Always believing that we'll always have that touch, that tomorrow. The simple taking of the hand of the one who holds your heart. Shared laughter over a conversation spent in a longed for moment. A dance. A touch. A whispered thought followed by the softest kiss. It has to be perfect. Borrowed time. What would you do if you knew how many moments were left on the clock? If you could count down the moments until your time ran out. Would you do things differently if you knew? What if the moment when it hurts you to breathe because they're not there anymore is no longer a vague maybe but a real time, countable hours away? You know the sun will continue to rise and fall as it always has, even without them in your arms, and the people will go on living--as will you, somehow. But how many lost moments will you have to regret? How many times did we dance around each other instead of dancing with each other? How well did you play the game without ever realising that playing gauranteed that you would lose? How many chances to say, 'I love you' did you throw away? What would you give to just have one of those chances back? Waiting for the perfect moment that may never come, all the while losing all the perfect moments you have. Borrowed time, do you still need to know how long you have left? It will never be enough. The End |
