Destiny
Could this be that little boy
That I knew on Tatooine?
This tall and handsome stranger
The little boy that meant so much to me?

This stranger standing in front of me must be Anakin.
For he has those deep, blue eyes I knew so well.
And the way he looks at me
Makes my heart begin to swell.

"You are beautiful." He says,
Eyeing me from head to toe.
Is it possible, my thoughts he does know?

He sends my heart aflutter
With his long and tender gaze.
Then I see something else inside him.
But it's all a mysterious haze.

This "something else" I see
Is so deep and dark.
All consuming, it could become,
Leaving on him a terrible mark.

I should be wary, sensing such blackness
Coming from his heart.
But everything about him I do love,
For this I am unwilling to part.

What about my duty
As a senator of Naboo?
I cannot shirk my calling, I think to myself.
"I'm sorry, Anakin. I cannot love you."

But you love him already!
My heart tells my head.
Yes. Still I can't let it interfere
With the life I have always lead.

Besides, he's a Jedi!
I reason with myself.
They aren't allowed to feel this!
This is a book best left on the shelf.

Then one day he kisses me
And I begin to wonder.
That maybe my destiny
Lies with Anakin Skywalker.

In the not too distan future, these two people
Will be torn apart.
When one falls to the Dark side,
And the other dies of a broken heart.
