Rings

The absence of his ring on my finger. I already miss its weight. I feel naked in this unclean air.

I left him in the Square, our hearts broken and shattered on the stones.

I cannot go. I cannot leave my land, my people and Valar whom I love and be true to myself.

If he stayed, he would wither. If I went, I would fail. Our love could not overcome that. We both knew it.

Only through Namo’s grace will I be at his side.

Something tells me I will see him again.

I wish I had kept it.
