— My Lord Legolas… I bring word from your Father. You are to return to him immediately.
— Come, Tauriel!
— My Lord… Tauriel is banished.
— Banished? You may tell my father... if there is no place for Tauriel, there is no place for me.

Love isn't about grand gestures, or the moon and the stars. It's just dumb luck.
And sometimes, you meet someone who feels the same way. And then sometimes you're unlucky.
But one day, you're gonna meet someone who appreciates you for who you are. I mean, there's seven billion people on the planet. I know one of them is gonna climb up on a moon for you.
Love is not love,
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
When I get older
I will be there
At your side to remind you
How I still love you, I still love you
— But I like to hear you say it.
— Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down, tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.
