Yes, it is just "He meant more for me than She (did)".

I'm so convinced that Faramir is one of the answers considering the first two sets of lines fit so perfectly and would refer to his father... but I can't think of how that would work with anyone else.

Then it could be Elendil and Aragorn basically the same reasons as isildur but with the added benefit of he brought the palantir and Aragorn used it(Touched same Stone) but I don't know if Elendil had a disapproving friend and or father....

I've got the last couplet figured out... will need some Quality Canon time to get it down to specifics...

Well, this far no correct answer, but let's see what you still come up with...

Do all the I's and He's actually refer to the same respective person? I.e. are all the verses spoken by the same person, and is it always the same He?
