A/N: finally, the last chapter…

My Immortal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone.
In the midst of those who were celebrating that day was a soul that could not rest. When you reach the end of the road you want no other place to go but a place to live out the end of your days. She had to leave. She would never see them again. Galadriel and Celeborn had left for Rivendell the moment the ring had been thrown into the fires of Mordor. Arwen rode to Lothlorien, but stopped at the Anduin River. She sat down by the river, and cried her heart out. She shuddered for a minute, and thought to herself, "If I could, I would do anything to take us back to the day we had met in Rivendell, or to the day on the hill of Cerin Amroth… If I could… I'd do anything…" Suddenly she heard a voice: "Arwen, vanimelda. Namarie!" She looked around, thinking that maybe Aragorn was just trying to play a joke on her.
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now I'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
"Aragorn, if you're out there, hurry up and come out. Please stop playing hide-and-go-seek with me. If this is a joke, it's a really sick joke," she paused, but Aragorn did not jump out from behind any of the trees. "I wish it was a sick joke," Arwen thought to herself. When she felt she could not cry anymore, she ran into Lothlorien, forgetting all the troubles she had been through in her wasted life. She wandered through the silent lands, the cold and empty lands no longer full of song and lore, and lay herself down to rest on the hill of Cerin Amroth when she could walk no more. She reached out in desperation for her dear Estel, only to find that he was not there.
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
No one ever knew if she did ever find her dear Estel, but they all knew that she had given up an eternity to find him.
And at the end of her days, though they were short and bitter, she had learned that in this world, true love did exist, and it could overcome the growing hate. She learned that love could overcome everything.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
The end…
