Here Without You
3 Doors Down
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me.
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me

Rain poured down on the dark Coruscant night. It was more like a flood than a mere shower and it seemed to catch everyone up in the torrent of drops. Occasionally a crack of deep rolling thunder could be heard rumbling off in the distance, giving a warning to all residents that it was best to stay inside on this dreary eve. It seemed to be the going way anyhow, and very few people were seen on the streets and sidewalks. It was too cold to fair the wind and rain besides.
Streetlights lit the dark alleys and streets and lamps lit the interiors of buildings, revealing black figures against the lighter shades in the windows. Many gathered with their families for meals or sat around the holovision and watched the latest holovideo. Jedi sat in their temples and meditated while Sith merely sat in the local bars and drank quietly, brooding about the dank weather that kept them from causing trouble elsewhere. All seemed rather quiet, but the storm that was brewing outside resembled that of one inside the heart and mind of a woman, no, a mother.
There before a window on the second floor of Dexter's Diner stood Xazor Elessar, Warrior Jedi Knight of no Order for she was of The Lost. Sure, her heart was in the right place on her actions, but her choices had landed her on the run and had taken her far away from her young daughter, now a year old. "Valanya, how I miss you." She thought quietly to herself as silent tears rolled down her warm crimson cheeks. She looked out at the rain as it slowly dripped down the exterior of the windows, streaking it with a bit of dirt and perhaps, a bit of pain. "Oh how far you are from your source, little ones. Do you not miss your mother, the source of your life?" She questioned them in her mind as thoughts of the oceans far on the other side of the planet came to thought for just a moment. It was like she and Valanya, but in this case, she would never be able to return to her child. Instead, the child's father would raise her without any knowledge of her mother.
This broke Xazor's heart to no extent and at the thought, more tears fell from her eyes. She stepped toward the window and placed her hands upon the cool glass as she looked out at the street below. She had been standing in the exact same place for hours now, and her legs were feeling fatigued. "Oh how I wish I could just jump from here and end the pain." The thought touched her mind but she reconciled herself to the fact that it was foolish and she had not meant it, or had she? In a time of sorrow and grief such as this, the Jedi Knight knew not what to think. So instead of reaching for comfort, she stood by the window, her only true safe view of the world around her now. The only place where she could be part of the big picture without getting hurt.
