AN:/ Okay, so this isn't my best work and I'm not too happy with it at all but I've had it on my computer for ages and I thought that I might as well put it up. Let me know what you think; good and bad!
I have said goodbye to many things, to my old home, to any semblance of a normal life but possibly the hardest thing to have to say goodbye to is old lovers.
I said goodbye to Boromir as he lay dead on the forest floor. A kiss on the head, worthy of friends but never for a lover.
I said goodbye to Haldir on the battlefield as he died, laid him gently on the floor with his beautiful blonde hair streaming put behind him before heading once more into the fight to avenge him. We never had much but what we had was enough to mourn.
And now to my hardest goodbye. Legolas. Beautiful, brave and loyal Legolas.
I was not blind to his glances, to his long gazes when he greeted me.
I did not ignore his determination to go with me everywhere, anywhere.
I did not ignore it but I did not act on it.
I allowed myself only a smile and shoulder-hold (so close... so close to kiss) as his King before leaving what could have been my only true love behind.
It was hardest because something in me knew that I was throwing way a future with him, a happy one, possibly a happier one than with Arwen, the elf doomed to die.
Boromir and Haldir, their time was up and I had said goodbye before their deaths, but Legolas...
Legolas will live on and on, each day mourning the loss of me and I shall do the same of him.
