You had felt like you swam in a lake of blackness for weeks after that - until Poe stepped into your life. You had befriended him, even when you were just a ghost of your previous self. He had made you smile, laugh, be even happy. He dragged you out from your dark lake. He made you realize that your father was part of the Force now, he was in peace.

"My world was black before you came into it." you had told him, choking in your words. "Through you, I found light again. I feel like... my father isn't as gone as he felt to be. I know he's watching."

Poe had just smiled at you, laying his hand on your shoulder. "I know he is. And he's proud of you."

You smiled back at him, taking a hold of his hand. "Thank you for being my friend, Poe. For everything you have done for me."

He just nodded, taking your hand over his heart. "Anything for you."
