Jaid: Uh, hi! Um, I don't anything, it's all Lucas' and the song is Amy Grant's. This is my first SW fic, so please, go easy on me. I heard this song, and the idea's been bouncing around my head for months, soo, I finally decided to get it out.





I cannot take the heat

This girl's going home Standing on my own two feet Standing alone

Liea tiredly shut off her datapad and climbed into bed. She was alone, again. Han was Force knows where, along with the rest of her tiny family. Over and over, she replayed the arguments, the words, the scenes that had driven her and her husband apart. Chewie's death and the reactions to it threatened the security of a seventeen year marriage.

I'm just a little weary of All the talk and all the buzz

And all I ever wanted was

The feeling I had with us

She wanted Han here, badly. She wanted him to hug her, to tease her about eing a Princess, and to tell her everything was going to be all right. But he was gone and she had no one turn too. Jaina was with Rouge Squadron, Jacen and Anakin with the Jedi, Luke and Mara were together, as they should be. But Leia so desperately wanted someone's shoulder to cry on.

I cannot take the heat I guess I'm letting go I'm tired of stitching up my dreams with This thread of hope

What had happened? She wondered. Chewie had died, yes, but couldn't they have worked through that? Together? Maybe it wasn't possible. Leia was not the Chief of State, merely an ambassador, but with the Yuzzhan Vong attacking, her time was eaten up just as quickly as it had always been. But still, she and Han had gone through a lot over the years. But he had never left her like this, not when things were so grim, not when they were still angry at each other. A lonely tear slid down her cheek.

I'm still a believer of Twin hearts and timeless love And All I ever wanted was

The feeling I had with us

She and Han had been made for each other, no doubt about that. Their relationship had always been a little rocky, but they had made it through. Leia had been angry when they argued, but all she felt right now was a deep ache inside her. Something had been torn away and she feared she would not get it back.

All I ever wanted was The feeling I had with us

The road of life is rugged Any road you choose And when I find the other side I'll look for you

She would wait for him. He always had come back. Hopefully, this time would be not be different. Hopefully, they would move on.

I cannot take the heat And so I'll say good bye A million things I never said Didn't even try

Leia wished she had said "I'm sorry" sometimes. Even though she had mostly been in the right, she hadn't needed to be so harsh. She wished she could tell him "I love you", just one last time.

'Cause words are cheap and sometimes cruel And stuff you hear is seldom true And all I ever wanted was The feeling I had with you

Leia finally drifted off to sleep, though Han's hurtful words still rang in her head. She forced herself to mediatate, to be calm, to sleep. Finally she did, an uneasy, restless sleep that did nothing to ease the pain of her heart.

Yeah, all I ever wanted Was the feeling I had with you
