Authors Note: Hey everyone! This is just a short story I wrote as a sweet little thought. It takes place during New Moon. I hope you enjoy it and please please leave a review!

I turned over in my bed, waiting for that moment when I can feel the infinite emptiness inside of my heart, but it never came. Ever since Edward left, I've felt like I would never, could never, love again, but through the pain I did realize one very important thing.

I would love again.

Maybe not in the heads over heels, my-life-is-centered-around-him sort of love but there are other kinds of love.

There are the obvious ones of course, the kind where you love your mother or brother and the kind where you love your best friend.

Then there is the kind you don't ever think of. It's that moment you open a new book and can smell the pages and ink, forming a story and inviting you to read and savor the adventure.

Love is when you sit out on the porch and let the sun beat down on you and can feel the wind tangle your hair behind you. It's putting your bare feet in the grass just to feel it between your toes.

It's that elderly couple you always see at the small town café who have been together forever and still care for each other

Love is when the rain beats down and instead of running in to see your best friend, you pull him out and you dance together in the rain because you realize that you will only be soaked for the day but you'll have that memory forever.

Love is when you know you will never be able to have him, to hold him, but still you want him and you never really give up that hope that one day he will come back to love you.

But I know that Edward will never come back. I'm not the one that he wants. Yet I will forever hold on to that hope because I know that until then I can experience love in other ways, in everything that is around me.

Author's Note: Like I said, short. I hope you enjoyed it! Please please please leave a review!!!
