What if …… the one ring had never been forged and a mighty war had not been fought?
What if …… Bilbo had never gone into that cave and procured that tiny band of gold?
What if …… the heir to the Baggins' fortune had not been you, my love,
Where would we be now?

What if …… the ring had left the hill in your uncle's weskit pocket?
What if …… Gandalf missed the signs that the small trinket was more than it seemed?
What if …… you left on the quest without me, my love,
Where would we be now?

What if …… the black riders found you and took you for their own?
What if …… your mithril vest had not stopped the troll's spear?
What if …… Shelob had kept her prize, to feast on at her leisure, my love,
Where would we be now?

What if …… the Shire had been saved, especially for you?
What if …… your body was not racked with pain and your mind was not haunted by shadows?
What if …… you did not leave me standing, crying, on the docks at the Grey Havens, my love,
Where would we be now?

Where could we be now?

Where should we be now?
