A/N : I just thought what if Will left Elizabeth a letter, what would he have written. This is my take of it.

This story hasn't been beta'ed, so I'm sorry for the mistakes, I've without doubt written. Grammatik isn't my best.

Enjoy!


To my love and wife, Elizabeth Turner.

My love.

Elizabeth. You're sleeping as I'm writing this letter, if you're wondering, where I got time to write. I'm watching you sleep, and you're so beautiful. I'll certainly remember our night in those lonely days in the next ten years. I'm very sorry for this. You deserve better, than a man who's going show up once every ten years. I never planned to have you being a woman who was going to wait. I'm sorry.

I know that I would never have survived otherwise, so being Captain for the Flying Dutchman is both a curse and a blessing. Mostly a curse. I wonder what you would say. We never got to discus it. I won't blame you in the slightest, if you find a new man, during these years. I'm sorry if I sound like I don't trust you, but love, ten years is a long time.

You know how much I love you, darling. I've loved you since the moment I laid my eyes on you on that ship. It's fitting, by the way. We met on a ship, and we're going be separated by a ship.

In the beginning it was only a platonic love, a friend has. Especially as you nursed me to health, and we became friends, since we were the only children on that ship. After we came to Port Royal, we continued, even though it was clear that our social standing was different. My love for you continued to grow so much that I was ready and willing to die for you, albeit I was sure that we could never be together.

But we got together in the end, after Barbossa abducted you, and when we helped Jack escape. I don't regret that I told you that I loved you in front of your father and James Norrington. I just wished I had told you that earlier, before your engagement to Norrington. But you came to me, and words can't describe my feeling on that time.

I look back on our memories, and I can't help but laugh. Did we really have Barbossa, our former captor, to marry us, while we were fighting in the most important war in the piracy history ever. That'll be a wonderful history to tell. We've always gone out to look for each other, Elizabeth. We've always been able to find each other, but this won't happen this time. No matter what, you won't find me. I ask you not to go on a boat and turn it down, no matter when and what.

Darling. Take care of yourself. Find new friends, as I'm unsure if Jack is even going show up. You know how he is. And all the other pirates, well they aren't the trustworthiness lads to show up on a visit. I'm not going to be a demanding husband, and demand that you're going stay on this island alone for ten years. If you want to take on your role as captain for the Empress, do it. Or as a Pirate King, do it. I just want you to take care of yourself.

I promise I'm going to take care of myself, Elizabeth. My father is after all there, and he's sane now. So you don't worry for me. After all, it isn't as I can die. It's an honorable job I've gotten, although it's going to separate us. Believe me. I would rather be with you.

We meet again on this island in ten years, my love.

Take care of my heart.

Your husband

William Turner.
