The quote was "Music is love in search of words"~Sidonie Gabrielle.
Babe, I'm leaving
Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears
I shoved the few clothes I was taking with me into my duffle bag.
My eyes scanned the room one more time to make sure I wasn't forgetting something.
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you
Throwing the bag over my shoulder, I let out a heavy sigh and turned from my childhood room. Time to grow up and face your future, I thought to myself.
'Cause you know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
I feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe, I love you
I trudged down the stairs, knowing this part was going to be the hardest, Saying one final goodbye to my family and friends, and Alice; my sweet pixie, Alice. You know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
I feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe, I love you
My family couldn't afford to put me through college so I joined the Army to get out of this one horse town. So I could see parts of the world I would never have a chance to otherwise. So I could learn and grow and be a better man, for her. Babe, I'm leaving, I'll say it once again
Somehow try to smile
'Cause I know the feelings we're trying to forget
If only for a while
I hugged my momma tight. Dad shook my hand, told me how proud he was of me and clapped me on the shoulder. Then he wrapped those arms around Momma, she was trying so hard not to cry. 'Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you
My friends all piled into Emmett's van: He & Rosalie, Edward & Bella, Me & Alice. The drive to the train station was short. The old love song playing softly on the radio seemed to say everything that I couldn't. We tried to keep the mood light but you could feel the sadness in the air. I was scared to leave and they were afraid I may never come back. Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooh, babe
Arriving at the train station, they all followed me onto the platform for one more round of hugs. The warning whistle on the train blew. It was time to go. Alice & I were clinging to each other like it was the end of the world. I ran my fingers through her raven hair as I stared at her, trying to memorize every curve of her face, the flecks of colors in her eyes, the shape of her lips.
"I love you Ali," I whispered.
"I love you too Jasper. Promise you'll come back to me?"
"Always, babe. Always"
