Perpetual Love
It all began with a single glance and that is all that it took for me to realise the full extent of what I was prepared to sacrifice and it was all for the sake of loving the once and future King of Gondor. I've had to let go of my true love, the one that I will never dare to forget, because I shall not have more than love in my life.
Having to let go of everything in order to fulfil my destiny – the destiny that I've never truly wanted to follow in the first place. My heart has always belonged to another, although it does hurt my heart when I have come to realise that I am slowly beginning to feel for the future King of Gondor.
How can anyone not fall in love with that man, that King of Mortals?
But now my heart is being shredded in two.
I love Aragorn with all my heart, I do. I truly love Aragorn, the man I gave up my immortality for. I gave up so much just so I could spend the rest of my days with Aragorn by side as he rules Gondor. And he rules it well.
But I can never forsake the yearning in my heart. It yearns for its true love. It flutters on the delicate wings of butterflies whenever I get a glimpse of his angelic face.
There was a time when I would have given up anything, just so I can be with him. He made me smile, he made my world bright just by smiling at me and I was going to be bonded with him at one point of my life.
For over 500 years or more I have yearned to be with him and he with me.
I felt completed when we were together.
We would have wedded all those years ago but fate wouldn't allow it to be.
In a way I was glad to have found Aragorn when I did. For he had given my aching heart new hope.
I hate myself for having to make such a difficult choice that I had to make. Having to choose between the two? I could have chosen to be with the one my heart yearns to be with secretly. But I chose not to. I had chosen my fated partner.
To make such a choice meant I had to sacrifice my opposite.
What I hate the most about myself is having to be able to watch the one I truly love suffer in silence. How much longer do we have to keep on suffering like this? I have seen the way his gorgeous blue eyes sparkle with our past when our eyes meet. I have always been able to see past the barriers behind those expressive blue eyes of his.
I see what could have been if I had not chosen to let my love go when I stare into his eyes and that is when I have to avert my gaze.
I love him so much that I feel my heart shatter even more and there is no one that I can turn to. Not even to man I have been fated to be with.
Why couldn't I have been stronger enough to ignore my feelings towards this future king of Gonder? I know I should have. But I am too weak to ignore my fate. I was a fool to even to allow myself to fall in love with my golden prince.
How could I have allowed myself to become such a fool?
I have been trained all my life to be what I am now, but no one was able to train my wild heart. Not even I could train my heart.
My heart is yet to let go of my love.
The one I must sacrifice.
Why must I sacrifice my love for my golden prince for the future King of Gondor? I love them both dearly. I love Aragorn but I fear that I love Legolas more.
When will it all end?
