srry its all movie verse, I

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you, that is how I know you go
on

Sam's mind wandered through memory after memory in his dreams.

"Mr. Frodo! I thought I'd lost you." "what do you mean? We haven't even left the Shire!"

"Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me!" Frodo turned and smiled at Sam. Sam thought his heart would burst with joy.

Sam's mind came to rest on that final, fateful day in the Harbor.

Far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you go
on

"You're leaving too, Mr. Frodo?" "My dear Sam, I am wounded, in both body and spirit. I must go. The Shire was saved, but not for me." Those words, coupled with Mr. Frodo's sad smile cut into Sam like a knife.

Sam watched in his mind's eye as his mind replayed the agony again.

Mr. Frodo hugged Merry, then Pippin. Finally he wrapped his arms around Sam, a silent thanks for everything. He bent Sam's head and laid a gentle kiss on Sam's brow. With that kiss, Sam felt his heart break. Tears carved
riverbeds and canyons into his cheeks. "Goodbye, my dear dear Sam."

Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on Once more, you open the door and you're safe in my heart and my heart will
go on and on.

Sam's mind then took him to a bright summer day in Ithilien.

"Look master! See what Sméagol finds?" A black cloud covered Sam's heart in that moment. "Make 'im sick you will, behaving like that!" The cloud passed for a brief moment as Sam thought he caught a glimmer of thanks in Frodo's
wearied eyes. "Mr. Frodo, look! Oliphaunts! No one back 'ome believed us. We were right.

Love can touch us one time, and last for a lifetime, and never let go 'till
we're one.

" Confound it all Samwise Gamgee have you been eavesdropping?" "Please Mr. Gandalf Sir, don't turn me into anythin' too unnatural!" Sam could still recall the gentle laugh on Mr. Frodo's face when he was dragged through the
window.

Love was when I loved you, one true time, I hold to. In my life we'll
always go on.

Sam's face was wet with tears as he tossed and turned, unable to rid himself of the sorrows and pain that, like a lingering scar, refused to let
him forget that it existed.

Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on. One more, you open the door and you're here in my heart and my heart will
go on and on.

Another image of Frodo rested in Sam's mind; Frodo succumbing to Shelob,
alone and helpless in the tower of Minas Morgul. Poor, defenseless Mr.
Frodo. And yet, when they were together, they could accomplish even the
most impossible of things.

You're here, there's nothing I fear, and I know that the heart does go on.

Sam's mind finally stopped its restless, grief-driven wanderings.
Acceptance for his passing settled into Sam's heart.

We'll stay forever this way, you are safe in my heart and my heart will go
on and on.

Sam woke and whispered to the night, " Namarie, Mr. Frodo. My friend"
