PROLOGUE
"I know in my heart that I will always love you Obi-Wan. No matter what happens throughout time and or place I will wait for you." Her deep fiery, green eyes bore into the back of his mind to place a mirror image there forever. Her soft lips caress his own in long and bittersweet kiss that would remind him forever of the imprint that she left on his soul. As they hold each other in an embrace that seemed to last an eternity, he deeply inhales the sweet jasmine scent of her hair and lovingly strokes her long, dark auburn tresses.
Slowly and achingly they drift apart from one another as their eyes look their last upon each other. His hand takes his last travel down her soft cheek to rest upon her chin and lightly travels his fingers along her lips. His arms then hang limply at his sides as they stare at each other silently. The breeze blowing softly through her hair, as she slowly turns around and walks away.
The sound of her padded feet in her dainty slippers as she gracefully walks down the stony path towards the sunset in the horizon. Even as the vision of her had left his sight entirely, he still stood their, looking in the direction she had left. Staring out at the setting sun, as the sky turned into bright pink dusty hues, then to a faint orange, transforming into a dark blue and then finally nothing but black background with stars twinkling in the night. The moon cast a dim light around Obi-Wan as he stared out into the darkness. Then, as he took a deep swallow and a shaky breath, a small tear formed at the corner of his left eye and trickled down his cheek.
Obi-Wan's body refused to move from that spot, even though he knew in his mind that she was gone, he still clung onto that last scrape of hope that maybe she would come back. He had almost even tried to reach out to her with his mind, but stopped himself, telling him that it had to be this way. That he had to let her go and move on with his life. She was right, after all, he was a Jedi Knight and he had to continue on being one.
He couldn't let his personal feelings cloud his judgement. He had responsibilities; to himself and to the Jedi Council. But he couldn't help but feel that empty bitterness inside that made his insides grow weak and mind numb with sadness and despair. How could he possibly live without her? Now that he finally came to grips with what he already knew? Now that he had finally realised that depsite the Jedi codes, he was in love with her.
Her. The woman that changed his world upside-down with her sweet smiles and her loving eyes. The woman that challenged his logic and threw everything that he knew into chaos.
He knew he would never be able to forget her, nor would he ever feel that way ever again for another being. She had broken him and pieced him back together again, into something better. He would be forever grateful to the Force for bringing her to him in that period of his life. With a new determination in his spirit, he pressed his shoulders back, held his head high and turned in the other direction and walked towards the Jedi Temple.
