I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Obi-Wan Kenobi or Ben watched as time went by. Living in the planet of Tatooine, he didn't see anyone. He missed human contact. He missed all his old friends and love.

I dream of fire

Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

And in the flames

Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

Amidala, was the one he missed the most. She was the only one who kept his secrets, his lies, his dreams, and his fear. One of his biggest fears was to lose her. Which he did.

This desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

He lost her, when Anakin turned. He knew that he was the reason that he turned. He knew he should have not fallen in love with Amidala. But he could help. He had always longed for her.

And as she turns

This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams

This fire burns

I realize that nothing's as it seems

But they could never be together. Anakin had also always loved Amidala, from the moment he saw her when he was nine. A crush that turned into true love.

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Anakin had never known of their love. Amidala never admitted that she loved Obi-Wan back. But he knew she did.

I dream of rain

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes, this rare perfume

Is the sweet intoxication of her love

Anakin's and Amidala's wedding had been one of the hardest things that he had ever done. When the priest had asked if anyone knew a reason why these two shouldn't be wed. Obi-Wan almost yelled 'They shouldn't be together because I love Amidala,'. But he saw how happy they both were so he didn't say a word.

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Ben went outside, looking out at the desert. Amidala had said that she should have gone with him. He almost said yes. But it would have been too dangerous. And his Amidala didn't deserve to live here.

Sweet desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

He had felt her as she died. It had been painful for both of them. As the stories would say, she died of a broken heart.

Sweet desert rose

This memory of Eden haunts us all

This desert flower, this rare perfume

Is the sweet intoxication of the fall

He would miss her always. His Amidala.
