Dream a Little Dream of Me
Summary: A little Ani/Padmé mush. Anakin is away fighting, and Padmé is at home. Songfic.

Dream a Little Dream of Me
By: Use Once and Destroy
Oh, Ani. I love you so much, yet you are so far away. It's heartbreak to be without you.
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
I don't know where you are, my love. I only know that you are far away. I stare up at the sky late at night, just searching for a star. I think 'are you on that one, Ani?' Then I look back to my home planet, the beautiful Naboo, and remember how you saved it. I remember how we all saved it. I remember what a bright little boy you were. You have changed, Ani.
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
You are my everything, yet our union is forbidden. Sometimes, I just want to shout to the entire Galactic Senate 'I am not Padmé Amidala! I am Padmé Skywalker! Skywalker!' But I cannot.
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Are you thinking of me, Ani? Do you think of me as much as I think of you? Do you stare at the stars, wondering, just as I do? I wish I could see you right now. I wish I could see what you were doing. I wish I knew where you were.
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Sometimes I wonder how much I really mean to you. I know you love being Jedi, Ani, but do you love it more than me? I get mad at you, sometimes, for not giving it up just to be able to freely be with me. And then I hate myself for my anger, because I know you love me more than anything. I know that you would give your life for mine, because I would do the same for you.
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Thank you, so much. If it weren't for you Ani, I wouldn't be so many of the things I am now. I wouldn't be in love, for one. I wouldn't spend my life waiting for you to come home to me, from this damned war that has plagued us. But everything you have given me was worth it. Anakin, without you, I am nothing.
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
I'm looking at my stars, and I know that no matter how far apart we are, we're still seeing the same stars. We're still united, husband and wife, even if from a distance. I may be no Jedi, but no matter where you are I can feel your love. Oh, Ani. Tonight, I know you are dreaming of me. Because I can only dream of you.
