A/N: I'm going to do a sequel to this fic about the separation of the couples in this one. A lot of them seemed to end badly. Also I'm not sure if Finrod and Amarie were betrothed, but wouldn't have been sweet?
Finrod and Amarie
Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking towards the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize-
That everyday you find
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
I did not go with my people when they left Tirion to live upon Taniquetil. I had no desire to leave him who I loved. He who had stolen my heart and would never return it. I sat waiting for him in a garden near the Tower of Ingwe. It was filled with flowers of every color and design. He had said that he was going to surprise me today. But with what? I waited anxiously, not for the surprise, but for him. He was all I needed.
He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand
I had spoken with my father before deciding to do what I wished to do. He had simply said, "It's was about time. Your mother and I thought you'd never get around to it." "Do you think she'll say yes?" "Finrod," he replied, "I know that she will say yes." I had told Amarie to meet me in the garden right next to the Tower of Ingwe during the second mingling of the Light of the Trees. It was the most beautiful garden in all of Tirion. That was yesterday. I had spent every moment since then making two silver rings. Betrothal rings. I would them to her and ask her if she would marry me. I had just finished making them and was now going to go ask her to be my wife.
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And I as looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And to know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.
I looked up whenever I heard a noise hoping that it would be him. The mingling of the Light of the Trees was almost over. Had he forgotten? No Finrod had never forgotten to meet with me. He might have a habit of being a bit late at times, but he never forgot something entirely. There! I looked up at the sound of a tree branch being moved aside. There he was. The one whom I had loved since the moment I saw him all those years ago. He was more handsome every time I saw him. His midnight colored hair and his soft jet eyes. I rose and rushed to greet him.
And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
And if we walk now we will divide and conquer this land.
Don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand
Right in the palm of your hand
She took my breath away whenever I saw her. Those eyes like blazing emeralds. Always laughing, always smiling, always dancing. Her tresses more brilliant than Laurelin's light which now played upon them. I caught her in my arms when she rushed towards me. "I'm so happy to see you Finrod!" she exclaimed. "Really? I couldn't tell," I joked. We released each other from our embrace. She gave a soft laugh. "Come sit down. We can watch Laurelin wax to her fullness." "I would rather look upon you, whose beauty surpasses even Laurelin." She smiled as she led me to the stone bench she had been sitting on. We sat close together with our arms around each other, simply enjoying the presence each other. After awhile I spoke. "Amarie I have a surprise for you."
Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you be
The surprise. I had completely forgotten about it the moment I saw him. "What is it A'maelamin?"* Finrod moved away and took something out of his pocket. When he opened his hand to show me what he was holding I saw two silver rings. Rings that were used as a sign of betrothal. I gasped. "I can't remember a time when I didn't love you Amarie. Please," he got off the bench and went down on his right knee, "Please Amarie of the Vanyar, will you marry me?" I looked into his eyes. I knew I was crying. "Oh yes Finrod! Yes!" I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him over and over.
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy.
Or was it all in my head?
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door,
She said yes! I lifted her up and twirled her around, showering her with kisses. I set her down and gave her one of the rings. "Tomorrow you and I will officially be betrothed. Until then keep this ring to remember my love for you." "I will," she declared. We kissed again and walked through the garden holding hands. I felt like I was in a dream. Within one year I would be married to the most wondrous maiden in all of Aman. In all of Arda! We kept stealing glances at each other as we walked. At that moment no one was more joyful than we were.
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.
And he said he my take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand
Right in the palm of your hand
Right in the palm of your hand
We kept walking till the Light of Trees mingled again before Finrod took me home. I could hardly believe that by this time tomorrow all of Aman would know of our betrothal. And that in one-year we would be married. I was the happiest elf maiden in all of Arda at that moment. Before we departed from one another we kissed again and spoke these words. "I will send word to my family at Taniquetil immediately my love," I told Finrod. "And I will tell my family of your acceptance of me," he replied. "We will begin the preparations at once. Until than, my husband." Finrod smiled. "Until then, my wife." We kissed one last time and then departed from each other.
