I look at you for the last time, telling you lies; telling you excuses -
"I am mortal, you are elf-kind" as if these words could separate us, push apart out feelings, our hearts.
"She belongs with her people!"
Yes, you do. You belong safe with your people, with your feelings untrammeled by war and death. Your hear forever frozen in what might have been.
"It is a gift," you say, the little jewel, the mark of our fidelity to each other. A gift. And I return it, as if it meant nothing.
"Keep it."
I will. Along with my love for you, inside my heart, in a small little corner, safe and protected from the dark path I must trod today.
But you, my Arwen, you I will always love. And as you walk the safe paths of Aman, let each soft tread of your foot be as a wish and prayer from me to you, reminding you how much I loved you in our little dream.
I suppose I can blame 4 nights in a row of Two Towers. I am so ready for Return of the King tonight. Even with commercials (yes, commercial TV of all things!) I still enjoy every minute.
