New Moon – Chapter 16

I couldn't imagine my life without Jacob now—I cringed away from the idea of even trying to imagine
that. Somehow, he'd become essential to my survival. But to leave things the way they were… was that cruel, as Mike had accused?
I remembered wishing that Jacob were my brother. I realized now that all I really wanted was a claim on him. It didn't feel brotherly when he held me like this. It just felt nice—warm and comforting and familiar. Safe. Jacob was a safe harbor.
I could stake a claim. I had that much within my power.

You could be my unintended choice
To live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens
To my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces
Of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended choice
To live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces
Of the life I had before

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces
Of the life I had before
Before you
