Memories -- Movie drabble.

[rabidsamfan]

How long has it been since you held me in your arms and spoke to me of strawberries, and nesting birds and spring?

An hour? Less?

The memory of despair is fading already, and better, sweeter memories are mine again. The Shire blossoms behind my eyelids, I hear the Water flowing through the millrace once more.

And yet when I open my eyes I find that memory has turned bitter for you. The hope we've given back the world has no room for us, dear Sam. I have nothing left to give you but the comfort of my arms.

Oh... oh... Oh my.

*wibble*

Oh dear. I can't leave a coherent review for this one. Forgive me!

OH.

*blows her nose and re-reads in awe*

And I hope it was okay that I played around with Bergil once more...*shy grin*

If it weren't for the scene in this icon, oh, I'd be bawling. As it is I'm sniffling. This is *beautiful*.

Ack! Throw me down and stomp on me, why don't you?

So few words . . . so much feeling.

*sobs*

Oh, I mustn't cry, I'm at work....

Thank you for this--a perfectly captured pov of this moment that we didn't even get in the book, much less the film.

*saves to memories*

"The Shire blossoms behind my eyelids" and the Water flowing through the millrace... such a vivid picture you paint!

Lovely.
