A/N: It ain't mine. Don't sue.
Celeborn and Galadriel
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I still remember when we first really met. It was in my clearing in Doriath. We buried my past that day and began the future. A future we knew would include each other. And it has. We married and had a daughter together. We ruled a kingdom together. But now it ends. The past has been forgiven, and a new future begins. I cannot deny this forgiveness, for now I can forgive myself. I can go home. But Celeborn cannot. The Sea has not sounded in his heart. How can I leave him? But I know I must.
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing
are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,
She has to leave. I cannot keep her here. She would go mad. Her home, her family is over the Sea. Even out beloved Celebrian. Why does the Sea not call my name? Why do the trees that remind me so much of out home in Doriath keep me here? I try to look at this as a new beginning. A brand new future. Her past has been forgiven. By those whom she committed her sins against and she has forgiven herself. Of that I am happy. But I still feel as if her parting is like my soul being ripped from me.
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
It is our last night together. We try to make it feel like any other night. But it is not and we fail miserably. We cry in each other's arms. Holding each other as if our lives depend on it. One last night to savor each other's kisses. One last night to make love. One last night. The dawn comes all too soon.
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day
without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my
thoughts away
To a place where
I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
She departs swiftly. If she tarries, she might lose her resolve. She doesn't even look back. And I am here. Alone. My heart should dance for her. But it breaks. For the first time in our lives together, she is gone.
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Middle-earth will be behind me soon. The vale between this world and the world of my birth will be lifted soon. I will never be able to return to his side. Only he can come to me now. I remember telling him about Aman when we were young. Were not my tales enough to take him so that when I returned he may come with me? It is too late. Tears of mixed joy and sorrow fall from my eyes. The eyes that he said were bottomless. Did he not know that his were bottomless as well?
And it hurts to want everything and
nothing at the same time
I want what's yours
and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
I can just barely see the ship that bears my love away from me. I cry tears of mixed joy and sorrow. Does she cry as well? Without my full knowing, I raise my voice in song. The same song I sang in Doriath when we first met. The song of the binding past and then of the hope of the future. The tears fall down my face as the song continues. I watch the ship until it fades upon the Lost Road.
Goodbye to you

I can hear him. He is singing. The same song that he sang in Doriath. The song that gave me hope once before gives me hope again. Hope that this future may again bring him to my side. I turn for a moment to look back. I can see him. So far away and yet so close. He smiles as he cries. And so do I. This is not the end. Only a new beginning. And I know that he will be apart of it.
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
