Author's note: One day, after having re-read a chunk of LOTR the night before, I woke up with these song lyrics in my head. I decided to turn them into a song that Legolas and Gimli could sing together, and it ended up really sappy. I hope you like sappy, things, reader!
A Glimmering Love
I used to think that I
Prided myself
On the beautiful things
Around me
But now, without you here
Those beautiful things
Don't shine as brightly without
The starlight of your eyes
I used to think that I
Could outlast time
But without you here,
Time is moving
Too quickly for me
I don't know what to do
Without you
The mystical tree
With shimmering leaves
Is withering
The beautiful gemstone
With a light within
Has turned dim, and is wearing away
Here, we stand together,
Our fates intertwined,
Oh, I can't live without you by my side
Our kind is leaving
One way or another
Departed, gone away
But the near-withered tree
The gem that is becoming so worn
Still stand together
To keep each other company
They're calling to me, from so far away
To all of its entrancing glory
But I won't abandon
You who kept me so safe all this time
My friend,
So torn as this
I'll grant you your due happiness
We'll meet our doom together
Yes, we'll meet our doom together
Because I can't live without you by my side
