Stronger.

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

Edward left me in the forest after trying to break my heart. He doesn't know that while I loved him some, he did not have my whole heart. Yes he had a piece, he was my first love, but my heart belongs to me and those I believe will keep it safe. He did not fit the criteria.

You think you've got the best of me
Think you've had enough the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone

He told me that he didn't want me, that I wasn't good enough for him. He was cruel and I will never forgive him for being a coward and running away.

Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong

He thought that he could break me, but he has another thing coming. I am not that watered-down version of myself. I am a fighter and that SOB could never break me.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

I look back on what he made me into, that scared little girl who never did anything she wanted to because he would disapprove. It makes me sick that I let myself be turned into such a submissive person. That isn't me. I am strong whether he chooses to see it or not.

What doesn't kill you makes you fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone

My life didn't end just because the 111 year old virgin left me. In fact he brought back my fight, my complete refusal to be anyone but me for any longer.

You heard that I was starting over with someone new

Jasper was the only Cullen to come check on me. He certainly got a surprise when he came to help piece me back together. He was shocked to meet the real me. He told me of Alice leaving him after a vision about her "true mate." What complete bullshit that was. We started to get to know each other as friends. I met Major Jasper Whitlock, southern gentleman, and he met Isabella Swan, fierce woman who protects those she loves with all her heart.

They told you I was moving on, over you

Slowly but surely, Jasper and I developed feelings for each other. He even gets along with the pack down in La Push. We are happy in love and together they got rid of Victoria.

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging

Edward came back with some bullshit excuse about trying to protect me. He doesn't even understand the danger I was in with Victoria out there gunning for my head.

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted

But to his credit, I never would have met the real Jasper or come back myself if he had never left me in those woods.

Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'bout me
You know in the end the day you left is just my beginning

He thought I would come running back to him and thank him for taking my choices. But in the end, when he left, it was the beginning of me coming back out of my shell. The one that the real me went into when I met Edward.

In the end
I'm not alone

Because I have Jasper and he loves me the way I love him. So thank you Edward Cullen for helping me meet the love of my existence.
