AN: TRIGGER WARNING! Implied suicide and miscarriage. (Trigger warnings brought to you by Kankri.) If you have any questions about what happened here please message me, I have it all figured out now that I've come back to it. A darker take on the rhythm and flow of To This Day by Shane Koyczan.
They met in a burst of blaster fire and smoke and their first words to each other were insults and cutting remarks.
But as things changed arguments turned to stolen moments and cruel words turned to loving whispers.
To this day he can still hear her voice as they separated back to their work.
To this day he still hears her cries as he pulls her from a nightmare.
To this day he still hears her shouts for him echo off the walls of Hoth.
And to this day he still hears her voice whispering I love you as her life bleeds out.
To this day he still finds himself lost in memories of the past and dreams of a future they'll never have.
To this day he finds himself staring at the shirt she claimed as hers, stained with blood.
To this day his dreams torment him with her before she disappears in smoke.
To this day people trade stories of what killed Leia Solo.
To this day her journal lays on her bedside table filled with hopes, dreams and secrets.
To this day her secret lies in plain sight yet he does nothing because she's gone, gone, gone.
To this day the only thing that stands between the two of them is a Wookie and a Jedi keeping everything dangerous from his reach.
To this day a man stands above the streets of Courscant with barley enough courage to keep living.
To this day people ask what didn't we know?
