Ok...technically i HAVE written a one-shot for this song before, but, I just felt the irrisistable need to write another one. Just because this song was playing round and round in my head, and I couldn't get over how beautifully sad the lyrics were. I wanted to express that...and here came this.

It's late. I'm tired. It's ambiguous. I like it. :D

A product of a fanfiction-starved mind. I promise I will try to update FMN when I get the time. I promise I will try very hard :D

But, for now, enjoy this. If you want, leave a review with what you thought was going on...I wanted to try to avoid a cliché, but make it sad at the same time. I hope this was ambiguous enough to avoid the evil cliché.

Alright, ATO out - I'm off to get some rest. Love you guys 3 xxxx

Read on, my brave warriors!

You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

"I love you, Edward."

My throat was tight, my head bowed over hers, our fingers tightly wrapped together. My eyes were fixed on her small, smiling face – but I couldn't answer.

"Don't cry," she whispered, even though I couldn't tell which one of us was leaving tear trails on our cheeks. "Don't cry," she said again, cold fingers disentangling with mine and coming to frame my colourless cheeks – she traced my bloodshot eyes, "I don't want you to."

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
Oh that I wanted to hold you
So close

The bleakness, the blackness – the silence – came rushing back to me, and I fought it, holding her close. I fought it, ignoring it, resisting the urge to squeeze my eyes tightly shut like a child: what you can't see can't hurt you.

I could not close my eyes – I had to look at her.

So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far we are so close

I was unable to make myself believe that very soon, she would no longer be there.

Oh how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?

"I love you, Bella," I whispered finally, as if that would somehow help. As if that could, somehow, someway, stop the ending.

Her answering whisper was weak. "It'll be ok," she said – my face was wet, the skin prickling as salty water dripped down my cheeks – "I promise it'll be ok." I could feel her slow, quiet heartbeats through her delicate skin, small ribs digging into my chest.

We`re so close
To reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend

She smiled at me, her hand tight in mine – I took a deep breath, forcing the pain away and moving forward to press my lips against hers. She closed her eyes, her fingers wrapping round the back of my neck, holding me close to her. We clung together, fighting back what was approaching, what was tumbling and roaring towards us; I closed my eyes and tried to pretend it wasn't coming.

This couldn't be the end.

Let's go on dreaming, though we know we are

So close

So close
And still...

I didn't want that time to come. I didn't want her to leave.

"I know."

So far.
