Author's Note:Boromir didn't just leave Faramir behind when he left to search for Imladris. He left his quire as well.

Left Behind
By Dancingkatz
They told me that you died. I keep telling myself that it isn't true, that it can't be true.
You promised me that you'd be back. You told me not to worry. You even laughed at me when I yelled at you that it was stupid to go alone. I've followed you since my father gave me this sword. I was with you at Osgiliath. We swam across the river to safety together in the end. I swore to stay by your side. But you said I had to stay behind this time. This quest to Imladris was yours alone, you said.
I failed you by not following you. You would have been angry at first but I would have been there to protect your back when you needed it. I should have been there.
Even if the darkness of the Enemy weren't rank about us, my world is dark without your smile, your advice, your laughter. You were my Captain. You were my friend, my comrade. You were my honor.
The horns have just sounded. They call us to muster, to the Pelennor. I'm impatient for it to begin.
Boromir, if I live, I won't forget you. If I die, it's my hope to find you waiting for me beyond the veil.
