Summary: Angsty Mustafar monologue.

I look at you there on that shore and it hurts. I can't save you, I haven't the strength. I can't kill you either like I should. I love you too much to end your life, it would destroy me. I can't let you go.

I knew about Padme from the start. I knew when you came to Geonosis, but I said nothing, did nothing. I told myself that I did that for your sake, to prevent your expulsion from the Jedi Order. Really I did it for my sake, to prevent your expulsion from the Jedi Order. I couldn't let you go.

It is my failure Anakin. I could have saved you from this, from him, if only I'd been strong enough to let you slip from my life forever. I wasn't strong enough, I wasn't prepared to lose you, I needed you Anakin, I loved you.
If I'd known it would come to this, that you would become this, would I have done it all differently?

Yes Anakin, I would have walked from the Order to hold you at my side forever. But I couldn't see. I thought if I had you I would have you forever.

Now I have lost you. You are not my Anakin, my Anakin is already dead. But you remind me of him.

I look at you there on that shore and it hurts. I can't save you, I haven't the strength. I can't kill you either like I should. I love you too much, and even if it destroys me, I can't let you go.

I'll never let go, my Anakin, I lost you but I'll always love you.

I'll wait for you my Anakin, because I don't know how to let you go.
