Athor's Note: This is from Mara's point of view. It is set any time between Last Command and when Luke asked Mara to marry him.

Lucas owns Star Wars, so yeah. I'm not getting any money from this. I'm just writing this for my enjoyment, and hopefully others. Please review!

Yours Truly.

I see his face. I hear his voice. He is with me each time I lay my head on my pillow. Each time I think of him, I see him as I last saw him — the last time I ever spoke to him.

I don't know why I keep on thinking of him with his sandy blond hair and his understanding sky-blue eyes. Whenever he looked at me, it seemed as though he was looking right into my heart and I blush at the thought. I don't want to think of him. It hurts too much. The more I think of him, the more I realise that my heart belongs to him. His sweet Tatooine smile flashes in my mind and I can't help thinking of him. He haunts me. How else can I describe the feelings that I have of him watching over me? He is always going to be in my mind.

I lie awake at night worrying whether my attitude and attraction to him is simply my imagination. Nothing good will come from worrying about it, but I can't help it. He's always there. He's always going to be there.

Things happened between us and I pulled away because I was scared of facing my heart. I didn't want to. Now, I'm scared because I have to face the future without him. I told him that I wasn't scared of anything, but I was scared of letting him in and of what he had done to me. Now I think of it, he is always going to be with me, no matter what. Now and always.

I think back to the last message he sent after I left him on Yavin IV. I know it. It is written on my heart, engraved there as an everlasting reminder of him.

Mara, I know we didn't part on the best of terms, but please, hear me out.
My life would never be the same without you. I can honestly say that without you in my life, things would have been different to say the least. You are a soothing tonic for me and I want you to know that I'm finding it more and more difficult to ignore the plea in my heart.
I hate to deny it. I've been denying it ever since it crossed my mind, but now, I don't think that it's possible for me to ignore it any more. I have accepted it. I love you, Mara. I just want you to know that I'm in love with you and I want us to be together.
No matter what happens between us, Mara, not matter what you choose; you will always be welcomed in my home. You are a part of me that I don't ever want to lose. I hope our paths cross again in the future.
Yours truly,
L.S.

I say it over and over to myself. If only I had the chance to make it up to him. If only we met again. If only I could tell him how I truly feel then, maybe, I can rest in peace. I fear we will never meet again, except by some divine intervention.

I pull out the message and re-read his words one last time. A single tear makes its way down my face as I read the last words over and over, eventually saying them aloud. "Yours truly, L.S."

I know that this message I hold is one of the two things that I have of his. The second, I know now, is his heart.

I can admit it now, if only to myself. I know that my heart is telling me that we are meant to be together. But our time will never come. I know that. Only now, a year later, I let the news sink in. Luke Skywalker will never die in my heart, but he will never return to taste the sweet air of life.

No matter what happens, Mara, I hear him say in my heart, causing it to jump, I'll always be yours, truly. Luke Skywalker.
