Please Don't Cry (An Anakin Vignette)

I?m still here. Don?t cry, please, I can?t make you sad.
He could see her. He could reach out and caress her face, but she would never feel his touch.
His companion now was the Force. But the one friend that he wanted by his side was out of his reach.
I?ve already cost you too much. I can?t let you suffer any more grief.
He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. She could not see him, such was the cost of joining with the Force. She would never feel his presence; he would never feel the warmth of her skin.
She lay trembling, sobbing innocently. If there were anyway that he could trade an eternity of oneness with the Force for one moment to embrace her and take away her pain, he would have paid the price without the slightest hesitation.
Please, Tahiri, don?t cry. It?s not fair. I have no way to show how much it hurts to be torn away from you like this.
He drifted wonderingly in the chamber where she lay.
I don?t think that I ever told you that I love you. And now I will never get the opportunity. I love you more than my own spirit. If I could cast it all away, just to be with you for a heartbeat, I would not even have to consider it.
Please don?t cry, Tahiri, it hurts me too much to see it. You have to leave me behind. If this grief is caused by me, it is too much for me to bear. I love you too much to see the tears falling from your eyes.
There is so much left for you. Please do not let me hinder your journey.
I will always be with you. Never believe for a moment that you are alone. I am right here by your side, always.
You are the most beautiful creation of the whole of the galaxy. Please do not mar your perfect face by streaking it with tears.
My love, please do not cry. Leave me to your past. Move on to your future; it is too bright to waste on me.
Do not forget me. And never forget that I am always by your side. When your path in life is at an end, and you are ready, too, to join in the Force, know that I will be here to welcome you.
I love you. Until I see you once again, I will be loving you. I will never stop loving you. I will be with you, always; never forget this.
Please, Tahiri, never settle for less than you deserve, for less than you are capable of.
It is the hardest thing that I have ever had to face not to be by your side at this moment. Cutting down alien warriors counts nothing against the difficulty of this second. I am in agony because I am not with you, but please do not cause me further pain by letting yourself be weakened by me.
Press on, Tahiri. Show the galaxy your amazing power. Show them your strength.
I love you, and I will never leave you. Even though you may not know that I am here, I will not leave you.
So please, my love, do not cry. I love you too much to see it.

 

(Sniffles) That was so sweet! Excellent writing.

 

Thank you. I started thinking again about Anakin and Tahiri. I really love both of them, and I just had to take my frustration at Anakin's death out on something. So I decided to write.

 

That's one of the saddest vignette's ever written . Great job!

 

Beautiful viggie.

 

Really nice, Jedi_Alman . A shame it couldn't be longer - ever considered writing an Anakin angst as he travels through lands that whose gates are opened with the immortal unification with the Force? His emotional turmoil over the loss of Tahiri?

An intriguing notion: one that I have never thought of before. However, at the moment I have too many other things that need to be written, so I can't try to do this right now.

Thanks, though.

 

That's why I posted it (the idea) here, Jedi_Alman . If I had time in my wing, I would have written it myself.

nice but sad, too sad

 

That's so sad!!!
I've never read NJO, but this looked good so I read it and nearly cried!!!
Awww! Sadness!
God bless!

Thank you very much.

I like making people cry

Well, actually, I do like it when people shed a tear over my sad vignettes, because it means that I wrote them in the way that I wanted to: to convey the sadness and desperation of the situation.

 

lol

You write really well!

 

Hey Jedi_Alman that was some excellent work you did there. It was sad and melancholy but i really enjoyed it, yeah it sucks that they killed anakin. no real point in doing so dont ya think?

 

Yeah, that about sums it up. That, and it was beautifully written. Utterly heartbreaking is also fitting. I'm going to go sit in the corner and cry now.

 

delurks So sad! But really good!

 

Thank you everyone, really. And Matth, I agree wholeheartedly! You should join us at the ATF club.

 

That was good, but I'm a little confused. Um, is one of then dead? And, which one?

 

JB, I believe this is set in Star By Star, where Anakin Solo dies.

Even though I haven't read anything NJO, this was great!! Outstanding job, Alman!!

 

Anakin and Tahiri are a couple that I love. They were together in the JJK books, and even more so in the NJO. They finally realize that they love each other, and two books later, they kill Anakin. This is a vignette written from Anakin's point of view after he becomes a Force spectre.

EDIT: Thanks JB and Miana!

 

By killing Anakin, they're just leading way to tear-rending, heart-breaking vingettes such as these. ::Sniffles::

Ok, now I get it. At first I thought SHE had died!

 

That was beautifully written, Jedu_Alman. Definitely a tear jerker.

 

Somehow, I managed to miss this. I think you already know this, *whispers conspiratorily* but it was sad. Good job.

 

Nicely done! Sorry it took me sooo long to get here! You know you need to write more of these!

 

Thank you for dropping in SRB. I know that you have been busy.

Oh, and my name now apparently is Jedu_Alman.

Up.
