Footsteps on my Heart
I was at a beach. Don't ask me which…I don't know…I think I was in a dream anyway.
Edward was with me, I think, I don't know what made me think it, but I felt his presence. It was a different dream from the one I had every day now—the one in which I was in the forest. I wasn't searching for Edward this time, I was remembering Edward. I was asleep, so it didn't hurt much.
I wanted to remember him so much. But I couldn't. I mean, I did remember what he smelt like and what he looked like…but I couldn't remember the feel of his breath on my skin, or the tingly feeling I felt at his touch…I didn't remember…I couldn't remember…
He had been the best thing in my life…and I had forgotten him…
I concentrated on the miniscule grains of sand to stop myself from suffocating at the loss. I had lost him...lost him...he was never coming back. He wasn't. He wasn't. He wasn't……
"Edward," I said, "Wherever you are, know this: I love you. I love you so much. I could die. But I'm still alive, see? I'm alive because you asked me to, you asked me to stay safe…and I will, I hope one day you'll return."
I knew he hadn't heard me. There was no possible way that he could have. But it still felt better to say it.
Edward Cullen had entered my life and had left his footprints all over my heart. And my tears, falling like rain, had frozen them into place. I couldn't erase the signs he had left behind even if I had wanted to: they'd might as well have been burnt into my flesh, Edward's existence and role in my life was too important to let that happen. His love was like an immortal being…forever haunting my footsteps…
"Edward," I began again, "Hear my words: If you ever need someone to turn to, if you ever feel as if your world is collapsing, remember that I shall forever be waiting for you, to lend my support and my love. I ask nothing of you, but that you do not forget me."
And then…as I spoke these words, I remembered Edward's kiss, soft yet cold, I closed my eyes, and imagined him gently caressing my cheek.
As tears began to flow, I sought comfort from the fact that Edwards was still there out there in the world...somewhere…although he was gone from my life, he wasn't gone from the world, and for some unknown reason, this fact comforted me.
