I always knew what you'd given me. . .although you never seemed to regret
your choice.
Oh beloved, do you now, as I take my last breath? Do you wish that you
could sail upon the waves to your rightful lands?
I tried to give you everything, and yet that was the one thing I couldn't
return to you, your immortality.
Do remember when I first saw you? Oh how I felt so silly, not being able to
take my eyes away from you, my Tinuviel.
Is that not what I called you? Oh, how very wrong I was. For Luthien could
not compare to you, you outshine the brightest star.
And do you recall our parting, when I left for that perilous journey? Oh
how I wished to stay, my love.
Then when you finally became my wife, oh how I remember the day. It changed
my life forever, byoub change my life forever.
The pain in your eyes when your father left nearly tore my heart in two.
Yet you still gave up the chance to sail away.
I hope your father doesn't hate me, for taking you away. He was my father
as well, and I never wanted to hurt him so.
When Eldarion was born, I thought I had reached limit of happiness. I loved
you even more than I thought possible, Arwen, please always know that. And
when our daughters were each born, I loved you more and more.
And even now, after so many years, you're more beautiful than the day we
fell in love. After so many years of marriage, I never stopped thanking the
Valar they brought you to me.
Please do not cry for me, beloved, for it is the only time I am speechless.
I know I cannot soothe your pain, cannot take away the grief.
For I know you will die of heartbreak, but do you remember what you said so
long ago?
'Not even death will part us, Estel, for there is always eternity.' And you
were right.
I shall be waiting for you, my beautiful Queen. However long it takes we
will see each other once more.
I cannot stay much longer, for my life is fading. Just hold my hand, my
dear, for I cannot stand for you to be apart from me.
I cannot hold back my own tears anymore, Arwen, for the fear and sadness in
your eyes overwhelms me.
I love you, my Evenstar, please never forget.
Farewell, my love, please never forget.
I shall be waiting for you, please never forget.
