I dedicate this story to Obi-Wan. You, Obi-Wan, especially know this song and I know it's sad, but I guess that's what I'm just good at writing. Hope you like this story. Love ya.
Goodbye My Lover
It was sunset, a man, his face concealed by his hood, was hiding in the shadows of the luxurious city of Theed looking upon the casket of the women he loved.
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won
So I took what's mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it won't stop there
I am here if you'd only care
You touched my heart, you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you
I've kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you
The young man's eyes brimmed with tears as he watched her casket slowly move towards him. He let out a small gasp of pain as he saw her family behind her and as he saw her beautiful face a tear rolled down his cheek.
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
He clenched his jaw, he couldn't...wouldn't cry out. He mustn't. She was gone, lost to him forever. He would never see her beautiful smile, or hear her sweet sweet voice or smell her sweet scent again, ever.
I am a dream but when I wake
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile
I've watched you sleeping for awhile
I'd be the father of your child
I'd spend a lifetime with you
I know your fears and you now mine
We've had our doubts now we're fine
And I love you, I swear that's true
I can not live without you
He shut his eyes in agony, tears spilling down his face, but which were concealed by the hood. He didn't move, he didn't make a sound. He couldn't live without her, he couldn't see how he ever would be able to.
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
For a split second he thought he heard her laughter. His eyes opened and he searched frantically, with only his eyes, his heart beating fast in his chest. His shoulders slumped in defeat as he realized that it was only a memory.
And I still hold your hand in mine
In mine when I'm asleep
And I will bear my soul in time
When I'm kneeling at your feet
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
He would tell her goodbye once, just one last time and he would never forget or stop loving her.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow...
He turned and as he did there was a slight rustle in the wind. He looked up and as he did it seemed that a beautiful voice beckoned to him, beckoning him to her. He blanched, tears in eyes. It was her! HER voice. He let out a strangled noise as he heard her call his name.
"Obi-Wan..."
He turned his back from the city and walked away, walked away from her forever.
