Feedback: Ummmmmmm yes please it is my first attempt



He has gone and left me all alone, an incomplete person. A man who will never know the touch of his hands, his lips kissing mine, me touching him, all of him, body, heart and soul. The worst thing of all is not ever telling him how I felt and now I never will, fate has taken that decision out of my hands, if only I had more time with him, one last moment.

When he was lying in my arms I could feel his life force slipping away from me and I wasn't able to do anything. With everything I knew it wasn't enough to save him. To save my master the man I loved. I can still feel his fingers sliding across my cheek; the imprint is burned into my skin, my soul. I could so easily have drowned in those blue eyes and in that moment in time I wished I had so that I could have been with him always and not have felt the all consuming loneliness that now seems to surround me never leaving me for a moment, slowly killing me.

I was torn apart my heart and soul ripped away from me. With him in my life I was complete even if he didn't know how I felt. Now I will never be whole again. If only I could turn back time. I would tell him, show him how much I loved him. Show him he was my everything, the brightest thing in my life, the best thing.

There are so many times that I look back and I wish that time had stood still so I could have told him because an eternity would never have been long enough by his side for me. Why didn't he wait we were a team, together we would have won. I did not like the feeling of hate that grew inside of me as I stared at the Sith waiting to kill him, it was something he would not have been proud off. I hope I never go through that again, that loss of control.

I still have to keep going, I made a promise. It was his last wish. I cannot lie and say that it did not hurt when his last words were of Anakin and not of me but I understand he was thinking of the greater good and not of himself that was the sort of man he was and I respect that, I always did. I now try to be like him but I fall so short in my eyes all of the time.

I wish I knew how he felt about me. Maybe Qui-Gon did love me but could never tell me because he was my teacher. I can always hope and dream that is all I have left. He is part of the force now, but maybe he can hear me and at least he will know what I have kept locked up in my heart for so long, too long.

Qui-Gon, master, you were my soul mate, you made me a better person you taught me so much. Not just in your lessons but also by who you were the man who will always be with me. I am thankful that I knew you. I just wish I could have told you what was in my heart and how much I loved and respected you.

I love you there will never be another like you and my tears shed just for you.

The end
