I am participating in The Twilight 25, a challenge to write twenty-five one-shots &/or drabbles based on predetermined prompts within a three month period. I'm participating for fun, as well as using as a learning experience. I would love your feedback.
This is a drabble, a standalone piece of fiction that is comprised of exactly 100 words. I will be writing both one-shots and drabbles.
Just another reminder. The remainder of these entries will deal with Edward and Bella from Fireflies and Erosion. So either younger or older Bella and Edward. I hope that makes sense. My brain is fried and I'm just trying to finish up with the possibility of coherent sentences. Show me the love!

They lay exposed and unbound beneath soft stars and sweet moonlight. Edward had just shone his deepest scars, and she had shown him that love doesn't heal but soothes them.
His parents had practically destroyed his chance at that pure and innocent belief of first love. First loves were supposed to be passionate, and reckless. He could only love with caution and doubt.
In those soft spoken moments of skin on skin, it had begun. The long standing battle between his heart and mind. The fight between the secrets that only the soul knows, and the fallacies the mind believes.
