Hello, all! Happy Easter, for those who celebrate:D I had a fabulous time with the family AND woke up this morning to a fabulous review. So...I am in the perfect place to write some songfics! I want to thank mufuzu for her metaphorical kick in the butt. Your review made me all happy inside and kind of made me feel awesome about myself. Here's your promised one-shot. It's based on the song 'One Faithful Heart' by the Wilkinsons. Sorry, but no YouTube link to listen to the song this time:( I highly recommend you check them out if you're a fan of country at all. If not, sit back and enjoy the lyrics because they're mushy-gushy-lovey-dovey fabulousness! As always, read and review. Also, if you have a song you'd like me to check out for a one-shot songfic, don't hesitate to PM me or mention it in a review! Toodles;) **Sam**
One Faithful Heart
Time, it goes so fast
Like a river running past
And you're lucky if you find at last
Just one faithful heart
In all of my decades, I've rarely met someone with as kind of a heart as my Bella. She is truly caring, loving, considerate, gentle…all the things I thought were gone long ago. Her purity of intent is often times staggering to me, as I'm so used to how awful people can truly be. She's a breath of fresh air in this world of dankness.
So I watch her as she sleeps
All curled up in her dreams
Somewhere beneath the quilt and sheets
Gently beats one faithful heart
Her heartbeat echoes in my ears as I silently watch her dream. Happiness seems to originate in her features as she smiles slightly in sleep. I feel myself grinning in response, my fingers brushing her warm cheek. She sighs, utterly content. I swear I feel my own long-dead heart jump in response as she whispers my name, her smile growing.
As constant as the northern star
And as sure as gravity
Her love makes me complete
Makes my life so sweet
I still cannot wrap my mind around the fact that this woman loves me. Her trust in me shocks my core. I love this divine creature more than my own life, and she reciprocates…no matter how illogical it may seem to my unchangeable mind. She's made my existence by being part of me. Bella has changed me, heart and soul, by loving me and showing me that I am a good person. My life has been more full and so much happier since she forced her way into my consciousness.
This night will slip on by
Soon she'll open up her eyes
And I will see the light that shines
From just one faithful heart
I drag my attention away from my love's face and glance out the window. The sun is starting to make its way across the sky; Bella starts to stir in my arms. Her breathing picks up and her heart starts to trip faster. My lips brush her forehead before I bury my face in her soft hair. I sigh with utter bliss; I feel her smile against the skin of my neck.
"Good morning, love."
She pulls back and looks into my eyes, her chocolate depths full of love.
"Morning. I love you, Edward."
Those three words are worth everything in the world; they're the reason I exist.
I live to see the light that shines
From just one faithful heart
