Admiral Norrington, a fictitious character
from Pirates of the Caribbean, was known for his
relentless pursuit of ridding piracy.
It overshadowed what he really wanted,
the woman of his dreams.
The woman he loved,
and she didn't love him in return.
But it was a statement
he made to her,
about how she looked even at Jack:
"It’s a curious thing. There was a time when
I would have given anything for you
to look like that while thinking about me."
And how many times could men
share the same words with women
they know?

is no possibilty of be even
thought of in that way.
To never see a woman glow,
and just look at you,
as they look at other men.
It is quite sad, really.
