There was more I wished to share with you,

But time and fate would not allow me the grace to do so.

I stood by in my duty as a guardian, as a friend,

Always wishing for you to be my guardian, my protector.

Just my love and nothing more was what I wished.

With a body that burned with a passion hotter than the Tatooine suns,

A soul that longed for lofty heights far above the trees of Endor

And a heart that beat as deeply as the waterfalls of Naboo.

But such things were not meant to be.

Such is the life that I had chosen, that you had taken as well

Both of us running ceaselessly, never taking the time

Never realizing when we looked at the stars

That they echoed the desires hidden within our hearts.

All just a memory of hidden dreams,

Nothing more as I sit now in my own damp tears.

They cling to my cheeks in salty, never-ending pools

And I am reminded of you as I gaze at the stars.

Rolling over, I bury my face in the pillow

Refusing to acknowledge what I have always known

Even as it plays in the forefront of my mind.

But I hide from the love in my heart

As I know you had done as well.

Never had the words been spoken,

But there is always that tacit agreement between forbidden lovers

The one that is sealed through only their eyes,

Their hearts and souls.

Never their lips.
