Authors' Note: I do not own the characters; they belong to the genius J.R.R. Tolkien. I'm not making any money, please don't sue me! Good reviews and flames are both welcome! The song is called 'While You Loved Me', and it's from Rascal Flatts self-titled album. For those of you who read my other songfic, yes I like the group, and lucky you! I'm using yet another of their songs to write yet another songfic! J Enjoy!
While You Loved Me
Elrond sighed and rested his weary head against his hand. It was days like this when he missed Celebrían the most. How he longed to take her in his arms, to talk with her, and be with her again. He had felt so alone since she left. She had taken a piece of him with her and now he felt incomplete. He needed her to be here. But she was gone, and she wasn't coming back. But he still had their children, and memories. Oh so many memories of the time they had spent together.
[If I ever write the story of my life
Don't be surprised if you're where it begins
I'd have to dedicate every line on every page
To the memories we made, while you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
(I lived) While you loved me]
Many years had passed since the two had first met; yet Elrond could remember the early days perfectly well. It had not been love at first sight for them; they had not even been interested in each other at first. But eventually, they did fall in love, and their life together had been wonderful. They had shared so much throughout the years, always staying close, together, for all the ages. Until their parting had become inevitable. The orc attack had killed Celebrían's desire to remain in Middle Earth. Elrond had done all he could, but it was not enough. She made the decision to leave him and their three children, and go into the West from the Grey Havens. He understood why she left, but that did not make it any easier. At the time, he had wanted to go with her so badly; he couldn't stand for her to leave him. But he had stayed, sure there was some reason he'd need to be in Middle Earth in the future. He now knew what his purpose was. He still longed to be with her, but no longer pined for her as he once had. He knew they would be reunited when he sailed into the West. But now was not that time. For right now, he would just have to remember their love, and all the time they shared.
[I'd start with chapter one, love innocent and young
As the morning sun on a new day
Even though I know the end, Well I'd do it all again
'Cause I got a lifetime in, while you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
(I lived) While you loved me]
With Celebrían's beautiful face implanted in his mind, Elrond left his rooms to meet with the Fellowship and ready them for the trip to Mordor.
