"I could make you happy,

make your dreams come true.

Nothing that I wouldn't do,

go to the ends of the Earth for you,

to make you feel my love."

one

one who took my heart and broke it

one who i thought would help me get it back

one who is every bit the man of my dreams but born too early 

one who seems perfect in every way but born too late

none of them the one.

return of the king

"a day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. an hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! but it is not this day! this day we fight!"

-aragorn

gimli: never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf. 

legolas: what about side by side with a friend? 

gimli: aye. I could do that.

"come on, mr. frodo. i can't carry it for you, but i can carry you."

-sam

"my friends, you bow to no one."

-aragorn to the hobbits

this scene. still brings tears to my eyes.

because anyone, even the "little" people, can be a hero.

"how do you pick up the threads of an old life? how do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back? there are some things that time cannot mend, some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold."

-frodo

"i will not say 'do not weep', for not all tears are an evil."

-gandalf

"we set out to save the shire, sam. and it has been saved. but not for me"

-frodo

argh i'm not done crying yet.

return of the king. epic end to an epic tale. just. epic.

2 towers

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.

"My heart... it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."

-yvaine, stardust

for now

"i will search through a thousand worlds and 10,000 lifetimes until i find you."

-kai, 47 ronin

yep. this is me giving up on "you". for now.

i be your wings

you be my angel, and i'll be your wings.

when you want to guard your loved ones from evil, 

i will support you.

when you want to do good but keep me hidden, 

i will still be there. silent but present still.

when you choose to love even the people who throw hatred at you,

i will guide the kindness you throw back at them.

when you want to stay humble and take the high road,

i will follow your lead.

when you decide to stand up to the people who wish you harm, 

i will be behind you all the way.

and if everything becomes too much and you want to fly away, 

i will help you soar.

fly far.

fly high.

fly free.
