"Meletheldi" *
Swan brooch sparkling with shine of the Elbereth's stars
I placed it on the windowsill right after dark
My heart is trembling, help me see if it’s going to break
Even if only the fireflies light the sky like some false stars
And our bond slowly fades into the endless night
I’ll keep on asking “Be close, please” ’til my voice is sore
I can’t escape from your gentle gaze
That calms my heart, feel at ease
This is the bond that we together share
That shines through our galaxies...
When your dark hair of evening falls down
To entwine with my red locks,
The colour that brings the dawn
Forever and ever, my friendship will stay true
My meletheldi is you
My meletheldi is you

* meletheldi - 'love-sisters' in Quenya, a strong bond of sisterhood and friendship. In Quenya Love, which Men might call "friendship" (but for the greater strength and warmth and permanency with which it was felt by the Quendi) was represented by mel. The Nature of Middle-earth, J. R. R. Tolkien, Carl F. Hostetter
