He missed her, he missed her more then anyhing else he had lost, and he had lost a lot.
As much as he tried, Vader couldn't forget her. As he went through agonizing treatments to 'save' his life, Vader felt empty. It was a cold, dead feeling that hurt worse then knowing that he would never regain his former stregnth.
He hoped Padme could hear him, for he remembered it clearly-the day she slipped away. It was the day he realized he would never be the same, nothing would.
He hated himself, the last thing he had ever done to her was choke the life from her body.
He had killed her...Vader still couldn't remember why he had done that. Where had he gone wrong? Vader had intended to kiss her, not kill her.
Vader wished he could see Padme again. He would give up anything-not that he had much to give anymore. He was more machine than man, he was cold, and weak, but it didn't matter because he knew he could never see her again.
If only Padme could hear him! He still remembered it clearly, and always would. It was the haunting memory that would never die-Vader's deepest scar.
He knew now that without Padme he had nothing. Vader wished he was dead, what use was he now anyway? It would never be the same.
He'd had his wake up.
Why wouldn't Padme wake up? He knew the answer, but Vader kept asking himself why.
Vader couldn't take it, it was reality...
It had happened, Padme was gone.
She was gone, forever. Gone to a place where Anakin or whoever he was now couldn't rescue her from.
To make it worse...it was him who had done it!
He had been her protecter, but he had failed to protect her from the true enemy-himself.
Now she was gone, just like that.
The entire galaxy feared him, his mask struck terror into the heart of every citizen, but on the inside he was just-a broken man.
Vader choked back tears, his deepest scar would never heal.
I miss you.
