In emerald depths, his gaze did gleam
A world within, a tranquil stream
Green eyes that spoke of hidden dreams
Yet distant, like a star's soft beamsBound by ties of fellowship's song
In realms where Middle Earth belongs
Yet words were few, a quiet bond
In silence, our hearts correspondIn Tolkien's tales, his heart did find
A refuge from the world unkind
But in love's realm, he swiftly strayed
Leaving memories to slowly fadeYet in the quiet of the night
When stars cast shadows soft and light
I'll cherish moments, brief but true
And bid farewell to what we knewFor in the end, though love may wane
Memories linger, a gentle strain
And though our paths may now differ
In my heart, you'll always passenger
