"Elessar and the Evenstar"
Summary: Just my interpretation of how Aragorn and Arwen feel about her decision to forsake the Undying Lands.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own anything related to Lord of the Rings. I'm just taking the characters out to play.
Aragorn's thoughts:
The Evening Star down to Earth fell
And graced the land in Rivendell
When we first met she stole my heart
From me she swore she would never part
But these shores I would have her leave
And nevermore unto me cleave
For if she stays her grace will fade
The price for love she will have paid
Tinuviel's choice she would make
Both joy and sorrow she would take
I hold her over all things dear
All I want is to keep her near
But I can't let her die for me
Forsaking lands beyond the sea
Arwen's Answer:
I know what weighs upon your mind
Your grief and joy are intertwined
And now I'll tell you Dúnadan,
Please don't let my fate cause you pain
This choice is mine alone to make
To leave, or the Twilight forsake
I'd rather spend my life with you
Than have no love to see me through
If I left for Valinor fair
I would never find comfort there
Your name would echo in my ear
Reminding me that you're not near
So here, a mortal, I will live
And my life's grace for you I'll give
Together:
By more than love our souls are bound
Our heart's cords together are wound
These deepest bonds will never break
Though we, our bodies, will forsake
In Earth's circles we will not stay
We will meet again some day
Once more we'll walk in bliss and ease
Laughter echoing through the trees
