Anakin muses on Padme while watching her sleep after the wedding in Episode 2.

I instantly knew

When I saw you

You and I would be forever

Are you an angel? It was the first thing I ever said to you. I don't know why I bothered to ask, because I already knew you were one. I also knew I'd marry you one day and told you so. You didn't believe me. But look, Padme, here we are, married. I told you.

Hearts never apart

True from the start

To each other and together

I loved you from the moment you stepped into Watto's shop. For ten long years, I carried my memories of you with me. Not one day passed where you didn't cross my mind. I always knew we'd meet again, but I missed you so much. I remembered how you comforted me on the cruiser that night, despite your own pain. I can still clearly recall the faint perfume on the cloak you covered me with.

There's nothing we can't do

And until the end of time

If you tell me you'll be mine

We make a pretty good team, you know. When the Council forbade me to help Obi-Wan, you saw a way around it. During the Battle of Geonosis, we were comrades-in-arms and it worked. Now I know that if we try, we can survive anything.

I'm never gonna spend another night

Without you in my dreams

For the rest of my life

I'm gonna reach out to you honestly and try

To give you what you need

With all of my mind

'Cause nothing has ever felt

So real and so right

So I'm never gonna spend another night

Without you in my dreams

I don't care about the rules. I don't care about the Code. It's not important anymore. All that matters to me is you. I knew when I saw you again, when I learned how much danger you were in, that I'd rather die than see you harmed. I've never felt so strongly about anyone before, until you.

You are so in my heart

Even alone in the dark

I can feel the light of our love shining

You kept me sane when Mom died. When I thought I'd go mad with grief and fury, you comforted me once again, despite the terrible thing I'd done to the Tuskens. Your presence soothes me, makes me a better man, a better Jedi.

We are so meant to be

That we are definitely

Destiny

And there's no denying

That I love you

Though it's so cliché

There's nothing else to say

I know this is wrong according to the Code, but I disagree. I feel as though this was... meant to happen, despite the obstacles in our way. The way I feel...I can't describe it, not how I'd like to. When you said you loved me, my world seemed so perfect, so right – well, except for the fact that we'd been slated for execution, but at that moment, our sentence was merely an insignificant annoyance.

I'm never gonna spend another night

Without you in my dreams

I'm never gonna spend another night

I promise, love, I'll always be there for you. If I can't stand by you, I'll use the Force to be with you. As long as I'm living, you'll be safe. I swear, Padme, I'll never let you down!

A/N: And as we all know, he broke that promise. Oh, sorry I took so long. I had an early Ep2 thing going with Clay Aiken's song Invisible, but Anakin was so whiny, I couldn't write anymore, so I switched the song, started over, and was done in no time. Just goes to show, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Watch out for updates!
