1. Chapter 1 by RavenLady
I never told you.
Some men would call it a credit to my honor that I would not risk the unity of the Fellowship and break the ancient law of Gondor by declaring my love. Some men would say I was right and loyal not to take for granted Arwen's forgiveness and understanding, to hide my heart's longing.
Some men are fools.
I know the truth, that my silence and my hesitation were mere cowardice. I know I have failed both you and myself. This love and this knowledge will be locked in my heart forever, without a key.
When I return to Minas Tirith, as I swore I would, I will have to pretend that you were never anything but a friend to me. I cannot reveal that I truly felt something more for you. Something deeper.
I can only pray that in those last few moments, you saw past the facade I had worked so hard to maintain, that you knew the true meaning of the kiss I planted on your brow, that you heard the words I dared not speak.
