Well, I went through several ideas for a PT in my head, but as it happens to me more often, the right one popped up in my mind with no actual connotations. Though, in this case, it was something that already had strong place in my heart and that I always liked. For those who don't know, the title comes from one passage in Tuor's story, when Ulmo speaks to him:

So it shall be while I endure, a secret voice that gainsayeth, and a light where darkness was decreed. Therefore, though in the days of this darkness I seem to oppose the will of my brethren, the Lords of the West, that is my part among them, to which I was appointed ere the making of the World."

I always liked Ulmo, and I always liked this part, and there are other things that I'll leave to your imagination and interpretation.

Well, look at it from the better side - your most glorious moment still awaits you and now you don't need to worry about having or not having the title when it comes

Well, to me it gave the impression of a very poetic title - and also pressing upon me the idea of you as soft and dreamy person.
