My darling Swan,

I wish you knew how you made my crumbled dreams soar. I wish I could tell you how you make my heart beat like it never has before. I wish you could feel the thumping in this old chest whenever youre gentle, youre broken. But so am I. And Swan, I know you have to be strong. But who says you have to be strong alone?

I want to hold you close when yout know what to do, and I want to fight next to you when youd believe in US.

I never thought Ive made me feel like a dead man who has come back to life. Youre the sunlight coming through the rain. Yout remember me. Id never even have a chance with you. But Swan, I also knew that just because you couldnt mean it never happened. So I dared to hope. I dared to dream.

Often I would wake with you in my arms for a moment. With a trace of your taste on my lips. And I long for you even now.

Emma, my love, if your heart can be broken, that means it still works. But would it ever beat for me?

There isnt do if youd be mine, love.

-A devilishly handsome pirate who longs for you. You. You.
