A/N: Wow.. So I went missing for about a year. RL can kick your ass sometimes, ya know? Anyway, I was reading over this story and I can't help but continue it..for good this time, I promise! I'm editing and re-posting the previous chapters. I would LIKE to give you a time frame for when I'll be posting, but commitment is scary and I can't promise it will be the same every time…. I also don't like super long AN's so… Here we go! Enjoy!

PROLOGUE
Love.
All kinds.
There's the burn of lust that turns and simmers into adoration.
There's the new, the first, the friends.
The family you would do anything for….
... and then there's LOVE.
It knocks you off your feet so quickly, that you aren't sure how you were ever able to stand. One look and you lose your breath and you just know that you'll never be able to fully breathe again. That's the kind of love we all crave, yet only a small handful of people ever truly experience. The all-consuming, starry-eyed, can't eat, can't think, can't breathe kind of love.
The love that's able to destroy and rebuild and mend and shatter.
The love that evokes pain, laughter, longing, and want.
Love that burns so brightly, you live terrified that one day it will fizzle out.
That's the kind of love I have. Where every day I remember, because the pain of the memories is so much more bearable than never experiencing it in the first place. Experiencing him.
One look and my world has reason, but comes crashing down around me. One name that lifts me up, and brings me to my knees. One person who can see through the cracks of my carefully crafted face, that hides my face. One word that is both my beginning and my end.
Edward.
