Disclaimer: Obi and Pad are George Lucas's (the bastard I want Obi) and the song is Edwin McCain's (Which I think Ewan would sound wonderful singing. No offense Ed.) one change where the eyes are amber instead of emeralds. I wanted it to match.

Summary: Obi/Pad. Songfic.

A/N: This hit me while I was listening to the radio. I dunno if the lyrics are right. I am NOT an O/P, so god k-nows where this came from. I can't believe I wrote this. Jess, dear, please don't kill me. I'm an A/P all the way. Let's call this revenge for killing my Obi-love in Too Many Tears.

SHAMELESS PLUG: Read and Review Too Many Tears by the Galactic Goddess. What if Anakin couldn't save Obi-Wan from Dooku? If you like Drama and Angst this story is for you! (I hope you like that Jess.)

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful

Stop me and steal my breath

Amber from mountains thrust towards the sky

Never revealing their depth

Padme eyes were filled with fear and anxiety as Obi-Wan tried to coax her down from the cliff.

"Padme, you can't do this! Anakin wouldn't want this! He still may come back!" He was scared and frantic. Two things that weren't good for a Jedi.

She started to sob, "NO! He won't. He hates me."

"That's not true."

"Yes, it is."

"What about Luke and Leia? You're their mother!"

"Leia's on Alderran and Luke's on Tattoinne! They'll never know me!"

"Fine! What about me? I need you."

"You do?"

"Yes. Without you I never would have gotten over Qui-Gon. Without you I would be dead!" Obi-started to sob.

Padme gasped. He hadn't cried since Qui-Gon died. She immediately came down and pulled him into her arms.

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

They held each other as the tears poured.

When the sobs calmed she moved her head to look into Obi-Wan's eyes, "Thank you, Ben. If it weren't for you I would have killed myself."

They stared into each others eyes and hesitantly drew closer until their lips touched. Padme pressed closer and deepened the kiss, their tongues dancing.

Obi-Wan pulled back and whispered, "Anakin"

I'll be, your crying shoulder

I'll be, love suicide

I'll be, better when I'm older

I'll be, the greatest fan of your life

The love shone in Padme's eyes, "Anakin wasn't there for me when I needed him. He left me for the pursuit of his own power. He wants me dead. That's not love. He doesn't love me and now I don't love him. I love you, Obi-Wan Kenobi. My Ben."

Obi-Wan smiled, "I love you too, Padme." and kissed her as rain started to fall. Padme grabbed his hand and pulled him down the path into the small cabin that was their temporary home.

Rain falls, angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed

You're my survival, you're my living proof

My love is alive and not dead

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be, your crying shoulder

I'll be, love suicide

I'll be, better when I'm older

I'll be, the greatest fan of your life

I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead

Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

I'll be, your crying shoulder

I'll be, love suicide

I'll be, better when I'm older

I'll be, the greatest fan of your life
