Won't Say I'm in Love

I watch you closely as we ride,

I see you glance at turn.

I turn away, withdraw my gaze,

And yet my heart doth yearn.

…

I cannot be so fickle,

Which is what I tell myself.

My heart belongs with Arwen,

Though she's admittedly an elf…

…

Our worlds are closer here,

But we're only just beyond first sight.

I can't give in to base emotion,

It just would not be right.

…

Yet if all is accomplished,

What happiness will there be?

My first love will still be gone,

Sailed over the western sea.

…

Perhaps there's hope for happiness,

I thought that once before.

But how can I commit myself,

As this land heads for war?

…

Or perhaps it's fear I feel,

Fear itself I fear to face.

Why I try to stay aloof,

Afraid of warm embrace.

…

Voices roar within my ears,

All have different things to say.

They stay with me during night,

And linger during day.

…

In my mind I run from battle,

It's come to push or shove.

And yet I can't do either,

I won't say I'm in love.

Admittedly took some liabilities with Aragorn's character, but hey, it's fanfiction. I can pair who I want! :)
