My first ever songfic! Yay! This was written in about five minutes, so I'm not really sure how good it is. And to anyone who's reading this, I'm abandoning Warriors: Before the Beginning. I've completely lost any desire to keep writing it, so if you'd like to take over, let me know and it's all yours. First come, first serve.

This is from Elizabeth's POV, just after DMC. The song is Taking Over Me by Evanescence.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't remember me, but I remember you.

Where are you, Jack? Are you still out there somewhere, waiting for someone to come find you?

I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you.

I can't sleep at night; the memory of that kiss still haunts me. I promised myself to Will, but whenever I look in his eyes, I remember our last meeting.

But who can decide what they dream, and dream I do...

And when I do sleep, I can't get the image out of my head. I watch the Black Pearl go down, knowing that you're chained there, helpless. Because of me...

I believe in you,

I have to believe you're still out there somewhere; otherwise, how can I live with myself, knowing I'm the one who is responsible for your death. I know you're alive, you have to be...

I'll give up everything just to find you.

I'll do whatever it takes, just to see you again and know you're still here.

I have to be with you to live, to breathe, you're taking over me.

No matter what I do, I can't forget your face, the way you smiled at me the last time we saw each other. This journey to find you, to rescue you, is the only thing I have left to hold on to.

Have you forgotten all I know, and all we had?

Do you remember all the adventures you dragged us into? I used to hate you for it, but now I've come to realize just how much you always tried to keep us safe...no matter the cost to you.

You saw me mourning my love for you, and touched my hand.

I thought your compass didn't work, but you knew it did. And you tried then, when we were going to rescue Will from Davy Jones. You tried to make me see it.

I knew you loved me then.

When I realized why you did that, why you said what you said, I didn't know what to do. I was afraid, so I pushed you away.

I look in the mirror and see your face, if I look deep enough.

I never noticed just how alike we really are, you and I. Your defiance, free spirit, determination to get what you want. It's there, in me.

So many things inside that are just like you are taking over.

Sometimes I catch myself acting just like you would if you were here, and I wonder; is this my way of honoring you? Or have I been like that all along and just never noticed?

I believe in you,

I know you're out there, somewhere. After all, you're Captain Jack Sparrow, right? We'll find you, and if I have to, I'll search alone.

I'll give up everything just to find you.

Nothing matters right now except the quest. I'd leave everything else behind me if I could just find you again.

I have to be with you to live, to breathe, you're taking over me.

I'll find you, Jack. Wait for me...

Taking over me.
