to love someone else

"My heart was never meant to endure such sorrow, was it? Even if his soul once answered mine, it avails me nothing now. The bond is broken, yet not undone - for Elves love but once, and he gave that love to me. Now he walks beyond the circles of this world, and I remain, bound to the echo of what was. There will be no healing, no second spring. Only the slow fading, as moonlight thins at dawn. I shall linger, as is the doom of my kind, until grief unweaves me from the world. This was my fate - to love him wholly, and to lose him forever."
