20 Years At Sea

The sea I will sail

The fog as my veil

Black flag in the air

The wind in my hair

Life of a pirate

Life of a tyrant

In search of treasure

In pursuit of pleasure

From Spain I hail

To Britain I sail

A pirate I am

And a pirate I remain

But I'm still just a man

I still feel pain

Danger I attract

And danger I chase

Even when attacked

I won't lose my grace

Against the british I fight

It's they who face my might

Until the days I return

My love, it's for you whom I yearn

However long I may be gone

Please don't forget

To you I am drawn

I will see you again

Though maybe not for many years

Until I see you again

My little tomato

I will miss you dearly

my lovely Romano

Romano felt tears leave his eye

He struggled to find anger

As he tried not to cry

He tried to believe it didn't matter

But knew it to be a lie

Antonio's voice echoed in his head

He could feel the mans love in the letter

A single tear fell, a single tear shed

He denied his love, though he knew better

He ran his fingertips over the words

Tracing the familiar cursive

Tracing the whirls

He held the letter close to his heart

Counting the days

When they would no longer be apart
