This is for my Eladio, who I miss so very much. All these wedding preparations are driving home to me how much I miss him, and how I can't wait to start my life with him. I am having a wonderful leave, but I wish that he was here to enjoy it with me.

It was so very dark in the room, with the strange sounds of the city filtering in through the windows. How he missed the nights in the Shire, gazing at the stars with Merry, the only noise that of the crickets that sorrounded them.
"Where are you, Merry?" he whispered softly into his pillow, knowing he should try and sleep, yet unable to close his eyes without the searing image of a burning tree filling his thoughts. "Are you warm? Are you all right?"
He knew there would be no answers, and clutched his blanket all the tighter.
When the dawn finally came, he could only hope that Merry was gazing at the same sunrise, and would know that he was thought of.

Oh Pip, that's lovely. What a perfect way to describe two people who care deeply for each other, but are separated (temporarily) by distance and circumstance.

*hugs you*

Awww, how wonderful. Makes me think of "Somewhere out there" from An American Tail.

Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight

Somewhere out there
someone's saying a prayer
that we'll be all together
in the big somewhere out there

And even though I know
how very far apart we are
it helps to think we might be
wishing on the same bright star....
