Say love and kiss goodbye

Description

A scene in "Dragonlance Chronicle Trilogy II (Winter Night)". Silvara was going to tell her lover the turth that she is not a wild elf but a dragon.
Gilthanas, the elf prince, is my favorite character in this book. Most of us thought he had gone with Silvara and been living a happy life because he disappeared in Dragonlance Chronicle Trilogy III. But in other books we can find the truth he depressed Silvara and turn her away because he at last couldn't accept that his lover is a silver dragon. After that he search her for decades all around the world even insanely, but I think he never truly accept it.
After all, this scene is sad but beautiful. I'd rather see their story end like this than such a tragic ending :cry:.
OK, but I still love the book "The odyssey of Gilthanas" so much.

Silvara walked toward Gilthanas. She took hold of his hands and looked up into his face with so
much love that Gilthanas felt blessed, even as he knew she was going to tell him good-bye.
"I am losing you, Silvara." He murmured in broken tones. "I see it in your eyes.. But I don't know
why! You love me-"
"I love you, elflord. Silvara said softly.. "I loved you when I saw you lying injured upon the sand.
When you looked up and smiled at me, I knew that the fate which had befallen my sister was to be
mine, too." She sighed. "But it is a risk we take when we choose this form. Far though we bring our
strength into it, .. the form inflicts its weaknesses upon us. Or is it a weakness? To love . . ."
"Silvara, I don't understand!" Gilthanas cried.
"You will." she promised, her voice soft. Her head bowed.
Gilthanas took her in his hands, holding her. She buried her face in his chest. He kissed her
beautiful silver hair, then clasped her with a sob.
Laurana turned away. This grief seemed too sacred for her eyes to intrude upon.


I drew it when listening to an old Chinese song name "I love you, and goodbye"(我爱你,再见), I feel it somehow suitable for Silvara.

你后悔了吗 Do you regret it
痛得想死去的夜晚 At that dying painful night
你原谅了吗 Can you forgive me
爱你又把你伤害 I love you but I hurt you

为什么 就这样地离开 Why leave like this
为什么就不能相爱 Why can't we love each other
一直到我们死去呢 Until that day we die

都去了哪儿 Where have they gone
所有爱和誓言 All those love and vows
我流着泪的恋人啊 Oh my tearful lover
时光已将一切更改 Time has changed everything

当我慢慢忘记你的脸 When I forgetting your face
让故事再发生吧 Let more stories happen
让我的人生充满遗憾 Make my life full of regret
一切都不必重来 No need to repeat anything
什么也无须更改 No need to change anything

Anyway he accepted her:
”May love. Break the wall of 2 different races or even origins? You were like an elf, but I always knew you are not.”
”A lot of time Gilthanas needed to understand that he truly loves a Silver dragon”
”Gilthanas looked on stars, brighting like scales of Silvara.”
”Elf and dragon were planed to start life together”
Oh yes - serving to White Dragon Overlord to save his dragon he kidnapped.
