"Shall I compare thee to an orchid bloom,

Thou art more precious and more beautiful.

Thou art fit one day to be a fine groom.

Captain, thou art more wonderful.

Forever yours if you wish me to be,

Like the stalk to the petals and leaf,

Thou art important to the life of me,

My guardian with your silver sword in sheath.

Like bees to the centre of the flower,

Your scent is always sweet, never bitter.

Seconds without you feel like an hour,

Your smile, oh so bold, and eyes that glitter;

So long as I know you, I will love you,

I hope that one day you shall love me too."

Captain Jack looked up from the handwritten poem on his desk.

Ianto...

A single tear escaped his eye.

"I love you too, Ianto Jones."

And with that, Jack turned around and placed the piece of paper next to the plaque which read

"In commemoration of Ianto Jones, fallen in the line of duty.

Torchwood."

I can't claim all the credit. It was a joint effort with Meerkat Mythologer, Fanwrite and two others.

Please R&R!
