I remember being 15

and reading this part in Twilight.

I didn’t finish the book,

I don’t read that well,

But I remember this part.

It’s when Bella wakes up in the hospital.

Edward is there checking on her.

He finally can see that she’s okay,

so he starts to excuse himself,

like a gentleman respectful of her privacy.

My heart stopped for her.

Oh no. I thought.

And she said the only thing my quiet heart would’ve said:

“No, you can’t leave. You can't, ever, leave.”

“Ok.” He said.

And that was that.

He stayed.

That’s what I would say to you,

if it was safe.

I wouldn’t tell you anything I don't know
to be true.

I would just say,

“Please,

please,

stay.”

And I think you would.

I’m pretty sure you would.
