book #2 in the Twilight Saga: New Moon
*by Stephenie Meyer*
NEW MOON - preface
I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where te have to run, run till your lungs burst, but te can't make your body sposta fast enough. My legs seemed to sposta slower and slower as I fought my way through the callous crowd, but the hands on the huge clock tower didn't slow. With relentless, uncaring force, they turned inexorably toward the end - the end of everything.
But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn't running for my life; I was racing to save something infinitely più precious. My own life meant little to me today.
Alice had detto there was a good chance we would both die here. Perhaps the outcome would be different if she weren't trapped da the brilliant sunlight; only I was free to run across this bright, crowded square.
And I couldn't run fast enough.
So it didn't matter to me that we were surrounded da our extraordinarily dangerous enemies. As the clock began to toll out the hour, vibrating under the soles of my slugish feet, I knew I was too late - and I was glad something bloodthirsty waited in the wings. For in failing at this, I forfeited any desire to live.
The clock tolled again, and the sun beat down from the exact center point of the sky.

I've waited a hundred years
And I'd wait a million più for you
Nothing prepared me for of the privilege of being yours, I do
If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how te smile when te blush
o how te curl your lip when te concentrate enough
But I would have known what I was living for all along
What I've been living for
Your Amore is my turning page
Only the sweetest words remain
Every baciare is a cursive line
Every touch is a redefining phrase
I surrender who I've been for who te are
For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart
If I had only felt how it feels to be yours
I would have known what I've been living for all along
What I've been living for
Though we're tethered to the story we must tell
When I saw te well I knew we'd tell it well
With the whisper we will tame the vicious scenes
Like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees
And I'd wait a million più for you
Nothing prepared me for of the privilege of being yours, I do
If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how te smile when te blush
o how te curl your lip when te concentrate enough
But I would have known what I was living for all along

Though we're tethered to the story we must tell

With the whisper we will tame the vicious scenes
Like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees
Well I can go a million miles an hour
But I’ve been bored so try to drag me down into the night
But if the morning I knew the song
In the arms of a miracle
Come back and see where you’re from
I can see the sun is on the rush
The pulse is strong, it warms te better than the Joe they left behind
But in the breath before te go
In the arms of a miracle
Come back and see where you’ve gone
It starts as a battle of luck
In the end it’s in the hands of a ghost
Well I am
Well I am
I can go a million miles an hour
But I can see the sun upon their eyes
I can go a million miles an hour
I can see it’s all true
te start to feel it finally
It starts as a battle of luck
But it ends when the hands of a ghost lay it down yeah

So pretty, so smart
Such a waste of her young heart
What a pity, what a sham
What’s the matter with te man
Don’t te see it’s wrong, can’t te get it right
Out of mind and out of sight
Call on all your girls, don’t forget the boys
Put a lid on all that noise
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
te stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
I hear you’re living out of state
Running in a whole new scene
te know I haven’t slept in weeks
You’re the only thing I see
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
te stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
te stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
No matter what te do
Yeah I’ll be true to you
Such a waste of her young heart
What a pity, what a sham
What’s the matter with te man
Don’t te see it’s wrong, can’t te get it right
Out of mind and out of sight
