A/N: This is also on Qui-Gonline, but I wanted to post it here too.
How can it be, a life so young, so fresh so vibrant be lost? You meant everything to me, now you are gone. I have always thought of you as my family. Now that can no longer be so. I loved you so much, a son you were to me.
That damned Sith got you, it should have been me! I have always followed the will of the Force, but this time I cannot accept that this was meant to be.
Oh my Obi-Wan it should have been me to die On that reactor floor, so cold, so hard, so lifeless.
We have fought many advisories, you and me. We have managed to gain those victories, in one way or another.
But when this Sith came we had met our match. You went on ahead determined to defeat him, though I begged you silently to wait for me to help you.
I was cut off by that last blasted wall, of the melting pit. I watched in horror as the Sith hit you in the chin, then he stabbed you in the chest.
I screamed in anguish, my son, my student, my friend, my Obi-Wan, fell to the floor and there wasn't a damned thing I could do to rescue you from a horrible fate.
I felt your pain, your silent cries of agony as you were lying there dying. The Sith laughing silently at his victory against you.
The Sith and I fought, and he was defeated by me. I rushed to you hoping in vain there was a way to save you, to allow you to live.
You died in my arms, as you did you told me you loved me, and thanking me for being a great teacher. That you had learned so much as you lay there dying.
I felt you fade away into the Force. I wept as your body turned cold.
No more laughs would ever escape your lips.
As I now watch you become one with the Force, your body slowly burning , turning to ashes, I wish it was me.
A teacher should never outlive his own student!
I watch everyone leave, I am numb not knowing What to do now.
You were my life, my son.
Oh Obi-Wan why did you have to run so far ahead of me?
Why were you so determined to defeat the Sith?
I would have helped you had I been there.
But you still were too far ahead of me.
Oh Obi-Wan, why did you have to leave?
It should have been me!
