DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of Tolkien's characters and I do not own Macy Gray or the song "I Try"
I try to say good-bye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
though I try to hide it, It's clear
my world crumbles when you are not near
I am alone. I am more than alone. A part of me is missing. You.
I miss you. Do you miss me? Would you have left me if you knew you'd miss me?
Yes, you would. Your feelings have never guided you.
No, not never. One time, they have guided you. When you married me.
Do you remember, Galadriel? Do you remember our meeting? Our marriage?
Our love?
Yes, I know you do. I even know that you miss me.
And I know you blame me for not leaving with you.
But you have to understand… This is my land, my home, my everything.
Do I have to leave this… for you, for love?
I feel bad. You have made your choice, independent and strong as you are.
Now I have to make mine, but how can I?
How can I ever choose?
I want you near me.
I want your sapphire blue eyes looking at me.
I want to stroke your golden hair
I want to caress your soft, white skin.
I want to kiss your red lips.
Blue. Gold. White. Red.
You have colored my world, my love.
Can I live in a black-and-white world?
No. I can't.
Wait for me, my love!
I am coming to you!
I may appear to be free
but I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave but my smiles
are just a front, just a front
Galadriel stood on the coast.
Far away, she could see a silver ship coming.
Celeborn.
Nobody had told her he'd be on that ship.
She just knew.
The ship was now quickly coming closer.
Suddenly, it arrived at the Haven.
And immediately, she felt a pair of lips on hers.
"Meleth-nîn."
She smiled.
"This was our very last parting."
Good-bye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
