Bella Swan

I am a shy, simple girl

I wonder what others see in me that appeals to them

I hear Edward tell me he loves me, but other boys do that too

I see myself to plain to stand alongside the Cullens

I want to enjoy an eternity with Edward, but I'm scared of what I will be after my transformation

I am plain and boring

I pretend to be worthy of the love I am offered

I feel the soothing contrast between Edward's cold, hard skin and my warm, flushed skin

I touch Jacob's warm body

I worry I may lose my friends when I become a vampire

I cry from the memories of the pain others suffer for me

I am a selfish person

I understand I should be afraid, but I'm not

I say he is perfect, a god who's time is more precious than to be spent on me

I dream of eternity with Edward, safe in his arms

I try to prove to him I am strong

I hope I will one day be worthy of standing next to him

I am brave and smart, ready to face my future
