Semi-Drabble: Shadows, Glorfindel

Character: Glorfindel
*********
I watch, as you make your way through a crowded room, stopping every so often to talk to a friend or a colleague. You move gracefully and effortlessly despite the throng and you gain the attention of those nearby without even trying.
More than once I have been told you’d be a good match for me, that we would be a lovely pair. Yet that that can never happen, for a very simple reason.
I hate you.
I hate you for what you remind me of every day. I hate you for not understanding what your presence does to me. I hate you for being happy when I am not. I hate you for looking so much like him - and most of all, I hate you for living when he died.
That is why I can never even be so much as your friend, Erestor – I am sure you would understand if I was to say that no one in their right mind befriends the shadows in their heart.
