Disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings. I do not own the song,
'Forever'. The song belongs to Plus One on their CD 'Obvious'. It is not
mine. I'm just borrowing the lyrics for awhile.
A/N: I heard this song and I immediately loved it. Then I thought it would
do for a great story of friendship between Sam and Frodo. I did not add
the last verse because the words are not on the CD word page. Hope you
enjoy. Please review.

Forever is a Long Time

I was stabbed with a morgal blade. The pain was intense. I felt myself
slowly drifting into darkness. I didn't want to but there was nothing I
could do. I could no longer here your voice, Sam. I was falling into
darkness.

'I lost you in the darkness
When I fell from the light
I held on to the world too tight'

Suddenly the light returned. I thought it was all over. I thought I would
never see you again, my dear Sam, but I was wrong. I opened my eyes and
you ran in the room and took my hand again.

'I thought I'd never find you
Thought I'd be alone
But you took my hand and
led me home'

I should have never doubted. I should have known you would be there, Sam.
You always have been. As my quest continued, you stayed by my side. There
for every fear that I had and for every tear that I've cried, you've been
there.

'Now I know
I know that
You'll always be
Where I go'

Then I realized the quest was mine to complete. I couldn't endanger anyone
else. I could not travel with the group anymore. I had to complete the
quest alone. You can not come with me any more. You have been with me
this far, but I must go to Mordor alone. I am sorry Sam. I wish you could
come, but I am going alone. I hope you'll understand what you have meant
to me. I hope to see again some day.

'Forever is a long time
To be without you in my life
I wanna keep you by my side
'cuz forever is a long time'

You told me you were coming with me. You waded out into the water to be
with me. You were willing to sacrifice your life. You told me you would
never leave. Sam do you realize how much hope you give to me. Sometimes I
feel like I cannot go on, but you give me strength. Thank you Sam for
being there for me.

'You have faith when I'm faithless
Strength when I don't
You believe in me even when
I won't
You are patient, you are true
Your love is what gets me through'

You came along with me. Told me I would not go alone. You will be right
there at my side to help me through it all. Deep down inside I knew this
all along.

'Now I know
I know that
You'll always be
Where I go'

I am so glad you are with me Sam. I could not go alone. This quest I
could not complete if I did not have you. I need you by my side.

'Forever is a long time
To be without you in my life
I wanna keep you by my side
'cuz forever is a long time'
