Of late, eternal condor years
So shake the very Heaven on high
With tumult as they thunder by,
I have no time for idle cares
Through gazing on the unquiet sky;
And when an hour with calmer wings
Its down upon my spirit flings,
That little time with lyre and rhyme
To while away—forbidden things—
My heart would feel to be a crime
Unless it trembled with the strings.

Romance by Edgar Allan Poe

PREFACE

Because I knew that we were done, and doomed, I desperately held on to the one piece of our small forever as the other boy that I loved fought to protect me. His eyes shone brilliantly as he persistently thought we were going to win. Even if we did survive this most violent feud, I knew there was no way for us in the end. I loved him far too much, and still not nearly enough. Not far, behind the forest of another everlasting love, a wolf howled.

A/N: I know this is terribly short, but it's a preface. I vaguely considered putting the first chapter in here, too, but decided against it. Now, I know there's another story out with the same plot, but there will be very small, if not nonexistent, similarities, and they will all be coincidental.

I love to hear from you, so please tell me what you think in a review. All reviewers will get a sneak peak of the next chapter. I also love talking to other obsessive Twilight fans like myself, do please, PM or review me about what you thought of Eclipse (the movie), when you're birthdays are (so I can dedicate a chapter to you and maybe even name a character after you), when you're getting married, when you're pregnant, when you get a promotion. Anything! The Twilight community households such amazing people.

Guess that's it for my rambling. The A/N is longer than the preface. Ha, fail!

This story is currently unbeta'd so please forgive any mistakes in punctuation, grammar or otherwise. All offerings are gladly appreciated.

Review!
