—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
-- 'One Art' by Elizabeth Bishop
you ever think about how after everything Ahsoka told Vader "I'm not leaving you" and it wasn't enough
"... Until he met this devastatingly handsome young peasant boy who was from this faraway land and said the most ghastly things to him…and made him feel truly alive for the first time in his life. And because of this handsome peasant boy, the prince's armor began to fall away, piece by piece. Until all that was left was the piece of armor protecting his heart. Peasant boy pulled and pulled at this last piece of armor. With every time, the boy made a space between the prince's honor and his heart. And in that space, the prince's heart beat freely once again."
