Bella – Until the Day I Die
As years go by
Since you had left, I felt as though years had flown by. How could it have only been five month ago that I had fallen asleep in your arms?? How could it have been only six months ago that you had whispered Romeo's lines into my ear?? Those memories felt like another lifetime.
I race the clock with you
Yet here I was, running across this town square to save you. I was going to save you. You had heard I had jumped off a cliff and died. Yet I was still very much alive. I could feel that as my lungs burst from lack of oxygen and my blood pumped thick and fast through my veins. I was coming to show you I was still alive. Because even though you didn't love me, never had, knowing that you no longer existed would completely ruin me. I wouldn't even be able to pretend to exist. Because knowing that you were out there, somewhere, was what had kept me going.
But if you died right now
I would not even allow that thought to cross my mind. I was going to get to you in time – I had to.
You know that I'd die too
Alice would never allow me to kill myself. But I would be worse than dead; I would be empty. My soul would have followed you up to heaven. I could live with being separated from you on earth (and only just) – but completely and utterly separated from you was …impossible.
You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was
When I was with you I knew who I was. I was yours. But when you left, all of me had left with you. Almost as though we had always been two halves of a soul and when we had met the soul had finally combined. The two halves could never be separated again. So when you left, you took my half too.
But still the second hand will catch us
like it always does
But as I was running across the square I couldn't help but feel just how slow I was. Compared to you, a vampire with inhuman speed or even just a regular human, I was dawdling. As the clock struck noon, I felt time slow down. I could hear every beat of my heart, keeping in time with the second hand. I had to reach you and I had less than sixty seconds.
Should I bite my tongue?
Until blood soaks my shirt
I knew there were vampires in the wings of the square, hidden away in the shadows. They were most likely keeping an eye on you – already knowing that you had a death wish. Could I possibly distract them?? I could bleed somehow; I knew the smell of my blood was enticing and it could distract them for just that one crucial second. But they could attack me also. This whole plan surrounded around me being alive.
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you
I saw you. The angel of my nightmares. I was going to reach you – I would do anything.
Do you need this as bad as I do?
Did you need me as badly as I needed you?? Did you need to feel me hold you?? Did you need to hear me say your name?? As I screamed out to you, begging you to stop, I could only wish that you would at least grant me one smile. That you would at least pretend, just for a while, that you were happy to see me.
Until the day I die
