A/N: This is my very first attempt at anything Twilight. I only got into the series about a month ago, but I am totally hooked now! This is really short, I know. But it just came out while I was bored listening to music. Let me know what you think! ~ Mary Alice

I know that he doesn't think all too well of himself.

I know that when he looks in the mirror all he can see is a killer. A monster.

I know that his ever-present thirst makes him feel weak.

I know that he dwells on his past and can't bring himself to look to the future.

But I also know that that's exactly what I am here for.

Who better to help someone focus on their future than me?

I make sure that I am always at his side, encouraging and reassuring him that he can handle everything he comes up against.

I can see in him the good, strong, loving creature he is.

I know it doesn't mean anything to him, but when I told him that it was knowing that I we would be together someday was what got me through my time in the asylum, I wasn't exaggerating; I don't think I would have made it without knowing that he was going to be there for me someday.

He doesn't see that as anything he actually did, but I do. He wouldn't have been my guiding star if he was truly the monster he believes himself to be.

And I am determined to make him see who I see when I look at him, even if it takes me forever.
