Forbidden Love
Love. Love was forbidden to a Jedi,
And Anakin Skywalker, a padawan learner
Wanted to know the reason why.

He'd worshiped Padme Amidala
Since the age of ten.
And now at age 20 he began wondering
Why love was forbidden to the Jedi
But allowed to all other men.

Any thought he had
Of the former Queen of Naboo
Was sternly reprimanded.
"Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin.
For they most certainly will betray you."

But no matter how much scolding Obi-Wan gave him
They would never stop his dreams.
His dreams of Padme, of visions of she and him together
As he pondered what they should mean.

He remembered those ten years ago
When he asked her if she was an angel.
He smiled when he remembered her reply
Was terribly mangled.

"What?" she asked, unsure of what he meant.
Anakin sat there, staring and admiring her.
"You must be an angel and by heaven were you sent
To bring freedom to a little boy, and in the future, love
A love from the beautiful Queen,
Who was as clean and pure as the dove.

As the turbo lift ascended
To Senator Amidala's room
He knew without a doubt
His love for her was as bright as the full moon.

No matter what the Jedi code
Said of love being forbidden
Anakin would always love Padme
Even if he had to keep that love hidden.

Now, little did they know
What this love would do.
It would destroy relations with other nations
And split the galaxy in two.
