So many years have went by and I can't believe I never saw it coming. I could never understand why he was so angry. So cold. So mysterious. I knew he loved me. With all of my being, I knew he loved me... once. His love for me would have stretched across the galaxy a thousand times over if need be, but it was his love for me that made him fail. How I wish I could go back in time to retrace those precious steps we took to conceal this quiet love affair underneath the stars, but we loved too much. He cared too deeply to let me go. Too deeply to just let things be with his mother. No. He had to slaughter them all.
I can feel my limbs growing heavy and my eyelids scraping for the light. I feel cold and alone. All that is left of our love are two small beings left to be cared by the only man that could have saved him. He tried to save him. Many times over did he try to save him, but Master Kenobi could only do so much once he made his mind up. The day that dreaded man from Hell took my husband away and seduced his wildest fantasies of power, prestige, and a fearful respect. Most of all, power. He lured him away from love's soft light to the dark shadows that convinced him that I would die and needed all the protection I could get. The shadows begged for his attention years ago on that cold Tatooine night and that begs his attention now.
How I will miss my husband. I know that somewhere, deep inside, he is still a good man. Still that little boy I knew on Tatooine. Still able to fix things so easily and still the handsome knight to my heart and soul. He is still the father of the galaxy's two brightest stars and will always be my Ani.
Someday I just know our children will be the saviors to this galaxy and rebel against the tyrannical grasp of Palpatine's new Empire. Peace will be restored along with democracy and liberty. Luke. Leia. I will always love you and always remember that I will be with you wherever you may go. I will be the whispering of the trees and the babbling of the brook. I will be the stones in your path and the wind at your back. I know I will smile when I see what you two accomplish when you grow older, wiser and more thoughtful of each other and those around you.
I love you, Anakin Skywalker. Someday, we shall meet on the other side of the Force...
