" I will not let you give up your future for me. " PADME' TO ANAKIN IN AOTC... " You are asking me to be rational, that is something I know I can not do. " ANAKIN TO PADME' AOTC.

There lies more *meaning* in these words that meet the eye. Padme' knew it and this is why she spoke them. As much as her HEART wanted what Anakin wanted, in her MIND she knew it went against their Beliefs, teachings, and loyalties.

" We could keep it a Secret. " ANAKIN TO PADME. " We'd be living a lie, one we couldn't keep even if we wanted to. I couldn't live like that. Could YOU Anakin? Could you live like that ? " PADME TO ANAKIN. " NO. Your right, it would Destroy us. " ANAKIN TO PADME....

Even with their discussion on Naboo LOVE found a way. Love always does. Love; it is not wrong nor right, it just IS. Love has no barriers for beliefs, teachings or loyalties. It just simply lives amongst us. Love is patient and kind, then what of a SECRET?

They discussed it; SECRET. Still both decided in favor of it, and married. Love they could not help, but the SECRET was a *choice*. Both knew that the Secret was dangerous and it would be difficult to conceal. What they *didn't* know was that " Secrets can KILL ."

" NO. Come back.....I love YOU. " PADME' TO ANAKIN IN ROTS on Mustafar.

Even after all he had done; the *UNNATURAL*, the *UNTHINKABLE*. Her love still pleads with him. Padme' expressed that she could NOT follow his path and YET once more goes against her better judgement, begging for him to give up his *future* ( which was gone from the light anyway. ) and go with her. Only now the SECRET had exploded! No longer difficult, beyond dangerous with only a TARGET in view to KILL and *destroy* all that they struggled to protect; LOVE.

The Jedi Order demands *SACRAFICE* without a Reward. The Force connection is a priceless GIFT, that all jedi should honor. Not only in their HEARTS but in their CHOICES as well.
Anakin and Padme' didn't choose LOVE, they chose a SECRET. With that Secret Anakin chose their FATE. Was it worth it? His Secret was to know that Padme' was indeed *HIS*. Anakin's FATE was to *never* truly POSSESS his Secret; PADME'. Instead he destroyed all *THEY* ever lived for; LOVE.......

These are just some thoughts from an ANGEL, who is completely captivated by Anakin and Padme's Love story. I truly feel that LOVE was not what went wrong, it was keeping a LOVE Secret instead of Vocally Relishing within it. That is where it all went wrong, to dive in completely one must accept and welcome all consequences for their actions....... MTFBWY ALWAYS... As always...comments and opinions are welcome...
