Arthur was trained to kill since birth, but Merlin was trained to lie.
Hunith must have drilled in little Merlin, with his golden heart and friendly personality, not to trust people. Not to tell them the truth.
WHEN I TELL YOU IM SOBBING IN THE LIBRARY
What if Merlin wasn’t supposed to be immortal.
We know he can do magic subconsciously, he states that he was making things float around the room before he could talk. He is literally magic incarnate.
What if it was what Kilgarah said that made him immortal. What if Kilgarah was wrong, but since he told Merlin that Arthur was supposed to return Merlin never died. What if Arthur was never supposed return. So Merlin will wait. He will wait until humanity is nothing more than dust buried in the dirt. Arthur will never return, but by telling Merlin that Arthur would, Kilgarah cursed Merlin to wait.
Merlin will never leave, never let go no matter how long has passed. His hope may dwindle as the millennial pass, but it never dies. He stays on the off chance that if he does come back, he will need his servent. Arthur never could last long without him.
So he waits. Never aging. Never letting go. A false hope given by a manipulative old dragon, but…
If he does let go and Arthur comes back only to find him gone…
No, he will wait, by the edge of what was once a lake so many years ago

There are very few things in modern media that hit me quite as hard as the episode of BBC Merlin “Sins of the Father”, when Bradley James as Prince Arthur Pendragon delivers this line in his confrontation with Uther:
“You are nothing but a
HYPOCRITE
and a
LIAR”
Gives me goosebumps every damn time. Exceptional acting right there by Bradley James. Our boy deserved all the BAFTAs for that scene.
