Palpatine went to his quarters after declaring himself as Emperor oddly
tired. Laying down on his bed he soon fell asleep.

You seemed so innocent.
With a loving heart,
I weep for you,
If you only new,
How much it hurts,
To have your heart broken in two.

A voice of long ago spoke to him as he noticed his reflection in a pool of
water and saw his younger self. Looking up he saw her and noticed tears
dripping down her cheeks.

Yes my love I know,
How it feels,
When I held your still form,
I was torn,
My heart was ripped.

Her deep brown eyes were filled with love and sadness as she looked at him.
His heart began to ache at seeing her again.

We were so young,
Our love was so strong,
Yet my life was lost.

Her voice was like music to his ears, her words flowed like honey.

Part of me was lost that day,
When you died in my arms,
My only love,
I too died that day,
Leaving only a dark part of my soul.

Tears began to fill his eyes as memories flooded back to him. Things he had
forgotten.

Your loving heart was filled with hate,
Your soul turned black,
And it was to late,
To bring you back.

She walked towards him and wiped his tears with her thumb.

We were never meant to be,
My destiny was before me,
To destroy.

He looked down at his feet, unable to meet her gaze.

Destiny has been cruel,
I was a tool,
To be used against you.

She said as she lifted his face with her hand under his chin.

I am lost,
Forever lost,
Never to be redeemed.

He confessed to her as his blue eyes met her brown ones.

My love I wish,
I had never been,
To bring you pain.

She turned away from him, her auburn hair billowing in the slight breeze.

No my love,
It was meant to be,
It is I who has brought you pain.

He replied as he turned away from her.

We brought pain to each other,
When destiny brought us together.
So I pray that the Force,
Will give us a chance,
For a new life,
That we may live,
And have a new destiny.

Hearing her words he turned back around to see her facing him again.

For the pain that was caused,
I pray that the Force,
Will grant your request.

He told her as he took her hand.

Our request my love,
I will speak for you,
When the time comes.

She corrected as they held each other's hands.

I am a shell,
Full of darkness,
Has there been any light,
That can be saved?

He asked looking for hope.

There has been light my love,
In me your light stays,
I'll be waiting,
Waiting for you.

She reassured him, gently squeezing his hands.

When you leave I'll wake up,
I won't remember you at all,
I'll return as the monster that I am.

He told her as a shiver ran down his spine.

I'll be waiting my love,
For I won't forget.

She comforted him as she gave him a kiss on his lips. He let go off her
hands and she turned around and began to walk away.

Goodbye my love,
For I won't see you again,
Till the Force grants me rest,
For when my destiny is complete.

Palpatine woke up in his bed eager to begin his reign. All memories of what
had happened as he had slept was forgotten.
