And of course. I need to scream into the void that I already miss him even though we hung out for like. 10 hours. I need more. MORE. [floats into space]

In Lothlorien, Boromir asks Aragorn if he’s ever “been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets,” and promises to return to the White City with him one day..... as if he believes Minas Tirith is Aragorn’s home too. But Aragorn is clearly hesitant.

Later, Boromir tries to convince Aragorn to take the Fellowship to Minas Tirith. He asks: “why do you have so little faith in your own people?”

 Aragorn snaps and responds “I would not lead the ring within a hundred leagues of your city.” 

Aragorn is flat-out saying: “they’re not my people--- they’re yours. Minas Tirith is not my home-- it’s yours.”

And Aragorn’s refusal to help Gondor is what drives Boromir to desperation. Aragorn was his last hope, and when he refuses to help....Boromir feels like taking the Ring is his only choice.

As Boromir is dying, he tells Aragorn: “All will come to darkness...and my city to ruin!”

Boromir no longer refers to Minas Tirith as “your city” or “our city.” Because he’s finally lost all hope that Aragorn will ever see Minas Tirith as his home. He’s stopped trying to convince him.

But then Aragorn responds:

“I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall-- nor our people fail.”
