One shot dream sequence with lyrics to "Say (All I Need)" by One Republic. I imagine this could be one of Edward's nights with Bella so it's EPOV and as a human. It wouldn't make sense if he's a vampire. Vampires don't really breathe.
Note: I don't own characters to Twilight or songs by One Republic.
"Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
nothing's turned out how you wanted"
...I whispered in her ear. I was lying on my side with my arm tucked beneath my head, staring at my angel sleeping. There was a thin layer of space between us, but I still felt the radiance of her warmth on me. She laid there next to me with her face so serene there no trace of worry or trepidation. Her body was breathing steady as if it was in accord with the beating of her heart.
"Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head"
I focused on my own breathing to match hers, letting out staggered breaths before corresponding to same motions of her chest inhaling and exhaling.
"Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
'Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold"
Let go and hold on to me, I selfishly begged. My body felt like stone, unwilling to move, afraid that any sudden disturbance would make this moment disappear. It was so fragile, yet willing to break free. My craving to touch her was about to boil out of my skin. I had to know we existed right here, right now. I lifted my free hand and slowly reached over to touch her face. I gently cupped my hand on her cheek and let my fingers comb into her hair, resting my palm on her jaw line. My thumb stroked her cheek lightly. She gasped, but did not wake. And then she gifted me with a slight smile and resumed with her heart breathing, steadily with mine.
