Waiting
AN: Everything beyond this point was written by my friend Sez! She asked me to post it for her.
This is set after the quest, after Frodo has left the Shire for good, Sam is married and Rosie and Frodo-lad have been born. I know it is short, but I feel like I said everything that needed to be said in these few words.
Also, author would like to point out to anyone who doesn't know, that the term 'the Havens' refers to the Grey Havens, and not the Pizza Havens.
It's amazing how a house so filled with people can feel so incredibly empty. Rosie, Elanor and Frodo-lad are all sleeping peacefully, but I can see that like so many nights since you left, I will get little sleep tonight.
I named my son after you, Mr Frodo. I named him so that I could once again say your name. I have so missed saying your name just as I have missed seeing your face and feeling the occasional touch of your hand.
I miss you, Mr Frodo.
I will never forget the day you sailed away to the Havens. I felt as though I had been torn in two and half of me was being stolen away to a place I could never get to.
I was shocked. After all we'd been through together, we'd always gotten out alright- we'd always gotten out together. A part of me believed that you wouldn't really go and leave your Sam behind you, that it wouldn't be long before you jumped out of that boat and came swimming back to the shore. Back to me.
But you didn't. You left, and I let you leave. I wasn't going to stop you getting the healing you needed because of my silly feelings.
Nonetheless, I have felt somewhat broken since that day. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife and children, but it seems that no matter how much I love them, they will never be able to replace what you were to me. What you are to me. Every time I tell my Rosie that I love her, I hear the faint sound of the sea in the distance. The sea that took you away from me.
But I will live. I will carry on, one day at a time, knowing that one of these days, after I have done all I need to do in the Shire, I will come back to you. And then I will no longer be broken, the part of me that I lost the day you left will be returned to me and I will never leave you, not ever again.
Until that time, I will wait, getting far less sleep than I should. I will be content knowing that one day, I will return to you.
Your Sam will return to you
