Okay, this is just something that I thought of randomly as I was listening to the song 'Memories' by Within Temptation. I know, it's probably crap, and it's mostly just copied from the stories I've already written, but I liked it...so...Enjoy!

The company remained in Tia Dalma's hut for a time. A silent tear crept down Meg's cheek again. She could not believe Jack was gone. Tia gave them all drinks and they toasted to Jack's memory.

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind.
There's no other way.
I prayed to the gods let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
Now I know why.

She thought about the last moment they had been together. Jack, chained to the mast of his own ship. It was a painful sight. "There's no excuse…Meg…she chained me…" He pulled on his left wrist, showing that he was attached to the mast. Meg looked down at it, tears of hate starting to slip down her face. "Meg…the Kraken wants me…I'm…going to die." At those words, something in Meg snapped and she lost it. She started bawling.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

"No, you can't die!" She flung herself on him, sobbing into his coat. "You have to come with us!" Meg pulled at the chain. Jack held her face in his free hand and wiped away a few of the tears with his thumb.
"I can't…and even if I could, I'd just be putting you in even more danger,"
"But—"
"Meg…I'll be fine…"

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're ok.
Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go on.

He kissed her forehead and then leaned in for a soft kiss on the lips. "I love you," he murmured. "And no one else." Meg looked into the Captain's brown eyes and nodded. She hugged him one last time. "Now go," Jack said. Meg reluctantly backed away, her eyes never leaving Captain Jack Sparrow until she finally lowered herself into the dingy.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Meg thought back further for a moment.
Jack sighed and looked down at the Compass again. Meg looked at it too. She reached down and picked it up. "Doesn't it point to whatever one desires?"
"Mm-hmm; to whatever you want most in this world," Jack replied, watching her. He reached for her arm and pulled Meg down into his lap. Looking over her shoulder, Jack smirked. The arrow was pointing behind Meg at him. Meg quickly shut it and set it on the desk.

Together in all these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I will love you
Until the end of time.

Jack smirked. "And do you really know me?" He slowly approached her. Meg shook her head.
"Jack…no games…Jack…Jack!" She squealed as he came after her for a moment. Once Meg was securely in his arms, he grinned and gave her a kiss.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Meg snapped out of her reverie for a moment, listening to Tia Dalma. Was there really a way to bring Jack back?

All of my memories...
