No...I won't do it!
I won't sacrifice her life to fill a void in mine.
I can't put my hearts desires before her safety, no matter the costs to be without her.
I can't be trusted...
if I ever hurt her,
…...I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.
I can't be trusted.
My sweet naïve Bella...she's blind to the true threat of my nature.
My Bella, (crooked half smile) such a lack of sense for danger,
But if she could feel what I feel, blood lust...
….of my addiction to the smell, the yearning in my throat for her life...
...she would be afraid, and she would run.
What's wrong with me, to put her in danger like this?
I've let this go on far too long.
She can't fall in love with what I am, a monster...
This ends tonight.
I can't trust myself around her
….And it's my duty to protect her.
To give her a chance at a normal life.
No room for selfishness Edward, you've put her through enough.
I will make sure she gets the life she deserves...a human life
…...Without me, a chance at real happiness.
The day our paths crossed,
I would take it back if I could Bella.
You're better of in a world without me,
without knowledge of me or my family.
If only she could see me for what I am...a killer.
I won't let you be my next victim, you're too important!
You're everything to me.
And every minute spent with me is attempted suicide.
We must leave, all of us.
My precious Bella, my angel.
I have to be strong for you.
You deserve so much more than what I have to offer,
my curse is not yours to bare.
Before you, I was lost,
Without you, I am nothing,
I really never had a choice Isabella,
Before you existed, before I knew of your love,
My heart was waiting for you.
And so long as you're breathing...
...so long as you're alive,
my heart...what's left of it, will go with you.
My life's purpose in exchange for your future.
Until the day we die.
I will make you safe if it's the last thing I do.
