The Coming of the Sun

Disclaimer: I, Elizabeth, do not claim any ownership whatsoever to the characters of Stephenie Meyer's wonderful Saga. I am only the happy owner of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and, by next week, the much anticipated Breaking Dawn. I also do not own the song that inspired this ficlet. Back at One is sung by Brian McKnight. It's a lovely song, if you haven't already heard it, I suggest you do. Other than that, the ideas are mine.
It's undeniable
that we should be together
Nothing, no one, can doubt the love we have for one another. They may resent our relationship, but if they are truthful to themselves, they will admit that we are meant to be.
It's unbelievable
how I used to say that I'd fall never
I remember there was a time when I thought I would never find someone for me. When it was just Carlisle, Esme and I, I remember thinking that I would never find someone who would mean as much to me as Esme does to Carlisle and vice versa. When Carlisle turned Rosalie, this belief was intensified. Was there really something wrong with the fact that I was not at all attracted to the blonde beauty? That and, as time went on, I only saw her, see her, as a sister? Was Esme right? Did Carlisle change me too young? I mean, I did not even know my type.
The basis you need to know
if you don't know just how I feel
Then I met her. Isabella Marie Swan.
The first time I heard about her, I shrugged the name off. Just another girl, another face, is what I had thought.
I was dead wrong.
She still does not seem to comprehend the power she holds over me.
Then let me show you now that I'm for real
If all things in time, time will reveal
Yeah…
It is, of course, my fault. Had I not left her, had I not lied to her so blatantly, she would not have these seeds of doubt planted within her. Only time will make her realize that I will never leave her again. I will always be there for her, for all eternity.
One – you're like a dream come true
If I could dream, sleep at all, it would be about her. Since I can not, I settle for daydreaming. I think about her all time, she is always on my mind. Without her, there is no meaning to my existence.
Two – just wanna be with you
I have never wanted anyone as much as I want Bella. It is not just her blood that calls out to me, but her entirely.
Three – girl, it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me, and
Setting aside the fact that she is my "singer," it is easy for everyone to see how she belongs to me and I belong to her. What I do not know, is what I did to deserve such a wonderful individual. She completes me.
Four – repeat steps one through three
Before Bella, I did not even know I preferred brunettes.
Five – make you fall in love with me
I do not know what I did to deserve her love, but I have it. She fell in love with me, a selfish, loathsome creature.
If ever I believe my work is done
then I start back at one… (yeah)
I go over it again and again throughout the short, sleepless nights as I watch her sleep restlessly in my cold embrace. Ever since I came back, her blood has called me forth less and less. However, other urges have arisen. Urges that seem much harder to control than the bloodlust. It does not help that she is more than willing to concede.
It's so incredible,
the way things work themselves out
How was I to know, decades after the treaty had been formed with the Quileute tribe, when we came back to settle in Forks, Washington, that I would find the love of my existence? The one person I was meant to be with? It is amazing how life plays out.
And all emotional
once you know what it's all about, hey
I was very hesitant at first and felt awkward around her. I did not know how to act, how to be for her. I must admit, I was glad when she told me she was just as new to this as I was.
And undesirable
for us to be apart
When I go away to hunt, I feel incomplete. However, it is nothing to the gapping hole that had been in my chest when I left her for, what was supposed to be, her own good. As much as I loath to confess, I am glad that she feels the same. Not that I am glad she is in pain too, but that she can not bear to be without me too.
Never would of made it very far
Cause you know that you've got the keys to my heart
Cause…
As I told her before, even if she had not jumped off the cliff, even if Alice had not seen, I would have come back. I could not go on without her. I felt as if I did not exist, it was as if I was just there, just this piece of rubbish taking up space.
One – you're like a dream come true
Two – just wanna be with you
Three – girl, it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me, and
Bella is mine and mine alone. She has marked me as hers just like I have marked her as mine.
Four – repeat steps one through three
Five – make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
then I start back at one…
No matter what happens henceforth, we will always be together. I will prove this numerous times, if I must.
Say farewell to the dark of night,
As I told her before, her sudden appearance in my life shot across my moonless sky like a meteor. Everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. There still is.
I see the coming of the sun,
She is the cause for the warmth I feel, something the sun can never do for me. She is my ray of light, my hope.
I feel like a little child,
whose life has just begun
Everything I experience with Bella is an adventure, there is always something new to discover.
You came and breathed new life,
into this lonely heart of mine
Even though my heart no longer beats, even though it does not function the same way a human heart does, she has caused my heart to feel. Things I never thought possible have happened all because of her. Thanks to the love she has for me, she makes anything possible. If she can make even a monster like me feel, make me believe that I have a soul, nothing seems unattainable.
You threw out the life line
just in the nick of time…
Before Bella came into my life, I had given some thought into traveling on my own, away from my family: Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie, my parents, my brothers, my sisters. I planned to do it after graduating high school again. I know it would have broken Esme's heart to see her family separated, but sometimes it felt uncomfortable being the odd one, even though they did their best to never make me feel that way.
One – you're like a dream come true
Two – just wanna be with you
Three – girl, it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me, and
I will do whatever I can to make sure Bella never regrets her choice to be with me for all eternity. I will dedicate myself solely to her happiness.
Four – repeat steps one through three
Five – make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
then I start back at one…
I start by standing here, in front of all these people, people we have both grown to know, people we love. As I wait for her to come down the isle in the arm of her father, I know that neither of us will ever have to experience the excruciating pain of being apart. It does not matter how many centuries may pass us by or how many people we have to leave behind. From this day forth, I will take her as my wife, my sole companion, for all of time.
This is one of my many ideas for Twilight fanfics. I have a few other fanfics that I plan on posting later, but they're set during New Moon. I also have a couple of continuous fics semi-plotted, but those won't be posted for a while…
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this little fic. Please let me know what you all think!
