Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory.
Remember, when your dreams have ended,
Time can be transcended, just remember me.
He felt so lost. What was he supposed to do? After finally finding the one thing he had ever wanted, no, needed, it was to be taken away. It wasn't fair. He barely even knew his father, and now, he was dying. After all they had suffered, and lived through, they were to be ripped apart once again.
I am the last star that keeps burning, so brightly.
It is the last star to fade into the rising sun.
I'm with you whenever you tell my story,
For I am all I've done.
As I struggled to keep awake, my beautiful boy knelt beside me, pearly tears dripping down his young face. Blue eyes gazed at me, those eyes so like mine. I am so proud of him, my only son. He will succeed in everything he should try, I believe in him so. His mother's wisdom resides within him, and it will serve him well. How I wish she could see him now, our beautiful grown up son. A son who has triumphed in the face of all evil.
I am that one voice in the cold wind, that whispers,
And if you listen, you will hear me call across the sky.
As long as I can reach out and touch you,
That I will never die.
We do not speak. Our bond that runs so deep, trembles within the Force. I know it will not be long before it is ripped apart. I cannot keep the tears from falling down my dace. He is my father, and I love him so. As a boy, I longed for him. I could not understand why everyone, save me, should have a father. Was there something wrong with me? Did I do something wrong? Was I not wanted? Many nights, I would dream of him, a man with a face I could not remember, who called me his son. I would then wake and softly cry myself back to sleep for all I did not have. I must have sensed that he was still alive, for he was always on my mind. At first, I was horrified when I learned of him, and the bond we shared. But I soon saw the small flame of light amidst the swirls of darkness, lost and frightened. I resolved to bring back that bit of light, until it overwhelmed the suns.
Remember, I'll never leave you,
If you will only remember me.
Remember, when your dreams have ended,
Time can be transcended, just remember me.
It is getting harder. I know it will not be long now. For the last moments of my life, I wish to drink in the light that shines from my son's face. He is so strong. I have dreamed of finally holding my son. But I never got to. And how I regret that! I have always wanted a boy, to teach and cherish. But alas, even without me, he has grown into a man with no equal. And it still amazes me. I helped create this precious person, whom I love so dearly.
"Will I ever see you again?" he asks. How alike we are! I smile in memory of my mother, and the same question I asked her.
"What does your heart tell you?"
"Yes….I guess"
"Then we will see each other again."
Remember, I will still be here,
As long as you hold me in your memory.
Remember me, remember me,
Remember me…
"I will always be with you. When you need me, look to the stars, and know that I am up there, watching over you. I am so proud of you, do not ever forget that."
I take his cold hands and press then to my heart. My feelings pour out, love and sadness. An overpowering sense of warmth and love answer me back. And then, it fades. Tears stream down my face, as I kiss my father for the last time.
I resolve to become the jedi that my father could be proud of. I will tell his story to my children, and they to theirs, and then, he will never truly die.
He will live on in our hearts forever, the Chosen One.
Remember me…
