This is a wonderful song, yes it's one of the Country genre, but still it
is a wonderful song. My best friend introduced me to this song, so this
story will be dedicated to her. Lita. The song is 'One More Day' by Diamond
Rio.

~*~One More Time~*~
~Last night I had a crazy dream, A wish was granted just for me. It could be for anything,~
Padmé was alone in her Senatorial apartments. Dormé had already gone away to her room and all of the Senator's guards had disappeared to watch the premises. She found herself totally alone, both in body and in mind. Her thoughts drifted to her husband, Anakin. It had been over two months since they had last seen each other. She missed her husband desperately.
~I didn't ask for money, Or a mansion in Malibu.~
She like her life, don't get her wrong, but her husband was the light of her life. Her brown eyes drifted around the lavish apartment, decorated in blue. Everything here was nice and rich, but none was hers. She never would have wished to be living in such a rich place. Especially if she was in love with someone who could not share it with her.
~I simply wished, for one more day with you.~
Stepping out onto her balcony, she looked over the city-planet of Coruscant in the waning sunlight, watching the pinpricks of stars appear. In her heart she knew that Anakin would be out there on a planet around one of those suns. Her hands rested on the balcony railing and a gentle wind blew the robes of her Senatorial cloak. She could almost feel Anakin here with her now. How much she wished he were there with her now.
~One more day, One more time, One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied~`
Her eyes closed and she felt the wind gently lift her hair away from her neck, place a gentle kiss there, like Anakin had done so many times before. She had lost count of the number of times they had stood in this very same spot and watched the sun set beyond the buildings. Oh, how much she wished for at least one more day with him, just to ease her aching heart.
~But then again I know what it would do Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you~
Padmé smiled wryly. She knew that she was selfish. One day would never satisfy her need to be with her husband. When she had finally decided, or maybe really realized that she loved him, she knew this would be one of the disadvantages. But still, it would not, could not, keep her from missing her husband.
~First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl, Then I'd unplug the telephone, And keep the TV off.~
She decided to quit focusing on the negative and began to imagine what it would be like if she could see her husband again for just a day. They would both cancel all the meetings for the day, but keeping inconspicuous. Then they would retreat to her apartments, sending away all the guards and her Handmaiden. The comm would be disconnected and the day would be theirs. They would not be Senator and Jedi, nor Queen and Slave. they would just be husband and wife, boy and girl.
~I'd hold you every second Say a million 'I love you's' That's what I do, with one more day with you.~
She could imagine his arms around her, holding her tight. His lips would be next to her ear, whispering nonsense into it, with an occasional 'I love you'. His kisses would be long and lingering, trying to slow the time around them. Time would have no meaning to them, only until that day was over. Once it was, he would be gone again.
~One more day, One more time, One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied.~
Padmé shivered, almost feeling Anakin's delicate touch tracing patters on her arm. She felt his breath on her cheek, heard the almost inaudible words of an 'I love you' in her ear. She opened her eyes and turned, expecting to see the sandy-haired Padawan standing beside her. Nothing.
~But then again, I know what it would do, Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you.~
She sighed, knowing she was just reliving one of her memories. Anakin was not here now; he was away with his Master on a mission. Their love, still hidden, could not keep either of them away from their duties. Duty comes first, then love, whenever they could find time for it.
~Leave me wishing still, for one more day.
Leave me wishing still, for one more day.~
The sun set below the horizon and the stars came out brighter, almost taunting her, pulling her love from her. She had told herself that she would wish for one more day, and she would keep wishing for it. Tears filled her eyes. They once did have that day, almost two months ago, and that was what it was, just a day.
