A/N: I am jumping back into Star Wars. :) This is an idea I came up with while listening to Within Temptation's cover of Somebody That I Used to Know and talking to my friend. This is my first attempt at a letter style oneshot and my first attempt in a long while of a star wars fic. This idea is based on the fact of what if Obi-Wan actually wrote a letter to Anakin detailing his feelings post Episode 3? I hope you enjoy it. R&R
Anakin,
There is so much that I want to tell you and yet, I know that it is much too raw even still after all of this time. It has been three standard years correct? Yes I'm almost certain for your son is toddling on unsteady legs, ever much too close to his own sorry history, our history. He has such a curiosity that was so similar to your own wide eyed earnestness as a youngling. It is all I can do to get him back to Beru before Owen notices he is gone. In every glance, I see that young mop headed, too smart for his own good boy that I met on this same dust ball all those years ago. I must be getting sentimental in my old age, but how can I not? You were my brother Anakin. You were my brother and it hurt me so that you would not have talked to me. Why didn't you talk to me? Was I so bad a master, so bad a friend that you couldn't? For whatever I did to wrong you, I apologize fully. I hope that I can do right by young Luke and make up for whatever harm I brought upon you that would make you choose such a path. Padawan Mine, please do not let the dark swallow you completely. There were some good times after all. Hold on to them, hold them as you once held Padme, as you will one day hold your children. Hold on to them as the Force wraps around you.
May the Force be With You old friend.
Master Obi-Wan
