Summary: Elizabeth apologizes to Will when she leaves him to follow her heart's desire. One-shot. Post AWE AU. Willabeth, intended Sparrabeth.

A/N: Originally intended to be directed from Elizabeth towards Norrington, but somehow I created this instead.

My Sun Must Rise

You promised me
That you would be by my side,
That together we would be free.

But now you are gone,
Aftering sailing off into the setting sun.
And I was but a lonely swan,
Wishing for someone.

You said sorry.
But this is beyond our control.
Please do not worry,
Even if there is no loophole.

It is I who must apologize.
For I am divided.
My heart is soaring in the skies.
Because I have decided
That my sun must rise.

This is farewell.
This is goodbye.

I will always love you.
I will always remember
All we have gone through.

But you are not here,
And I need someone
So that I do not disappear.

I am sorry.
But know that I am happy.
