30 Minutes
Song by Tatu
Story by Anchoret-chan
Edward's POV
Out of sight, out of mind…
At one time, she pined for me. Every day, she would dream of me coming back, refusing to move on. But now she has moved on. Now she has moved on, just like I hoped she would.
Out of time to decide…
I could come back now, and maybe she would remember the love, everything we once had. But I would only hurt her. But I need her so much.
Do we run?
We could run away, make a world of our own. Just you and me, Bella…
Should I hide for the rest of my life?
Or I could just stay away, so you would be safe. I could sacrifice my happiness for your safety. I should.
Can we fly? Do we stay?
We could lose.
We could fail.
If we go, we could fail at this. I could hurt you again. It's just not worth the risk.
And the more minutes we take
To make plans or mistakes.
30 minutes, the blink of an eye
So little time. How am I to decide with so little time?
30 minutes to alter our lives
One word from me will change our lives forever. Will I say it?
30 minutes to make up my mind
30 minutes to finally decide
I can't. I can't. I can't decide.
30 minutes to whisper your name
Oh Bella, I love you so much. How can I make this impossible choice?
30 minutes to shoulder the blame
I blame myself for everything. Everything.
30 minutes of bliss, 30 lies
In these thirty minutes, I can imagine that we're going to be together. I can imagine that we have a future.
30 minutes to finally decide
But I know what I must do.
Carousels in the sky
That we shape with our eyes
Imaginary futures, possible happiness, I create them in my mind.
Under shade,
Silhouettes casting shapes,
Crying rain
Rain pelts the window, crying tears that I feel but cannot shed.
Can we fly? Do I stay?
We could lose; we could fail.
Either way, options change,
Chances fail, trains derail
30 minutes, the blink of an eye
In my mind's eye, I see you in the other room.
30 minutes to alter our lives
You're wearing a beautiful, white, lacy dress. You giggle with your friends. I see that heartbreaking smile.
30 minutes to make up my mind
30 minutes to finally decide
Someone places the veil on you. Now your face is hidden, but I will not be the one to uncover it.
30 minutes to whisper your name
Bella…Bella…Bella…how I wish I could be the one you are walking towards.
30 minutes to shoulder the blame
But as you walk closer to him, I realize that we would have never been able to marry like this.
30 minutes of bliss, 30 lies
My imaginary endings are done. The truth must be faced. You are marrying him, and I am not interrupting.
30 minutes to finally decide
I have made my decision. I love you, Bella. I'll love you forever.
To decide, to decide, to decide, to decide…
" Bella…"
You whip your head around, nearly causing the preacher to stop talking. I know you remember that voice.
" Edward? " You whisper.
" Goodbye, Bella. "
As I walk out the back, I hear your last words, " I object… "
