Lyrics: "Iris", Goo Goo Dolls
She was standing on the balcony, watching the whole beauty of Naboo. The new, free Naboo. Her home, her people's home.
"Your highness ?" a familiar voice shook her out of her thoughts and she turned around.
"Master Kenobi...I'm guessing you're here to say goodbye ?" she said quietly. He nodded.
"The work is done. We have to leave."
Why do these words hurt me so much ? I don't want to leave. I can't explain it to myself. Not with words. But what I know...feel...is, that something is going through me. She...She truly looks like an angel, so delicate, but so sweet. So beautiful. I can't remember that I've ever felt this way. Feelings, coming straight from the heart, growing stronger and stronger with every second I'm looking at her. And it feels so good. If I should die right now, she'd be the last thing I'd see. So I'm in heaven yet.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now.
He didn't want to think about what would happen in the future. Didn't want to think about the unspoken rule, that he wasn't allowed to love anyone. It was just the moment he lived in. Watching her, protecting her, loving her silently in his daydreams.
Yes, he's got to leave me. And no one knows when I will see him...or if I'll ever see him again. Maybe I'm going to lose him...forever. What am I thinking about ? I mean...the whole thing is so damn strange to me. There is something inside me, that tells me..."Padmé, you cannot let him go !" And it is true. I can't . He is too close to me. Everytime I look into these eyes, I feel it more. These eyes, as deep as an ocean. Eyes, which I trust so much. Endless, like a mirror to his soul, as if I could read his mind through his eyes, filled with emotion.
She had never felt love for anybody. Not this way. But since they had met, so many things had changed. Around them, inside them. She couldn't do anything against it. She felt, that they were more than just friends. She just didn't know how to handle it. The only thing she knew was, that she'd probably never see him again. Not thinking about what she did, she embraced him. It was a painful embrace that felt like a goodbye forever. She just hoped, that time would stand still and that they could stay like this forever. Still holding him tight, she began to whisper:
"I know, destiny told us to go our ways. And it's right, you have to go. You have to. But before you go, Obi-Wan...you should know, that I will always be with you, no matter how hopeless it seems to be. The short time we spent together made me see, how much you mean to me. More than anyone else. I just wanted this moment to be ours..."
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cos sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight...
"These words, these simple words...are more than the Force could ever give to me. I will always remember you. Will always remember this moment, Padmé. It will make me happy when I'm sad, give me light when darkness comes over me. Hope, for all my life. Because now I know more than ever how much I love you..." he returned quietly.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am...
She looked into his eyes again, the eyes she trusted so much. And she saw tears. Tears which told her how much he loved her. Which told her, that it was true what he had said.
"You...love...me ?" she asked him.
"I do. I will always do. No matter what..." he answered while touching her pale face.
"I wish...I wish you could stay..." she sobbed.
"So do I. But you told me yourself. It's impossible. But, Padmé, someday, we will meet again. And my love for you will grow."
"Says who ? The Force ?" He shook his head.
"No, not the Jedi, not the Force." He took her hand and let her feel his heartbeat.
"My heart tells me so..." he whispered.
And you can't fight the tears that ain´t coming
Or the moment of truth in your life
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive
He tenderly kissed her forehead. It was such an innocent kiss and it felt so right. Whatever Qui-Gon had told him about the Force and feelings and love...in this moment it was forgotten. Could something, that felt so right ever be wrong ? He knew they'd find out about it. His thoughts would reveal what he felt. But he didn't care about that.
"This is me, Padmé. This is me. Remember me. Please, remember me." he sobbed quietly.
"Come what may, Obi-Wan." she returned before she kissed him passionately. A kiss full of life. A kiss that told them more about each other than they could ever tell. When she closed her eyes and touched his lips, she gained a look into his soul. She saw his life with her eyes. Felt everything he had ever felt, saw everything he had ever seen. Saw, who he really was.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cos I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am...
The kiss seemed to be endlessly. But when it finally ended, Obi-Wan smiled at her once more.
"I saw your life as if it was one of my own memories..." she said.
"It's my present for you, Padmé. Now I know, that you won't forget me..."
"Thank you, love, thank you...But will you remember me ?"
"I just have to close my eyes, and all I see is you..."
"I think it is time for you to go, right ?" he nodded.
"Eternity will be ours, Obi-Wan..." she whispered. He turned around without any words and left her. But she felt, that he was still close to her, when he left.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cos I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am...
