Based on the song Evermore by Josh Groban

In this case I decided to adopt the perspective of Mihawk, hope you like < 3

I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late

I'd always been alone in my Castle, in my mysterious island away from everything and everyone. I was my own master, captain of my soul, no one could tell me what to do or what not to do, nobody had ever dared to contradict me. Who could ever hitching a ride against the world's strongest swordsman? Anyone. My eyes and my name was awe-inspiring legend. This was everything I wanted in my life, to be feared and respected. I didn't need someone in my life. I'd always been a loner and I had always hated the presence of other people, a man like me needed only its strength to survive. At least so I thought. Too late I realized my fatal error. Too late to correct it.

I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes but she's still there
I let her steal into my melancholya eart
It's more than I can bear

I closed my eyes and saw her here, as if for the first time. "Who are you?" I asked sternly and she had looked at me with that bewildered and frightened look. "(Y/n)..." She had whispered faintly. I had been forced to take care of her, as much as I could be numb I couldn't leave her to herself. She was wrecked and she had found herself by accident on my island. And I let her enter in my house, taking care of her. But she was way over: with her grace, kindness and sweetness she had broken the barriers of my heart. Her smiles had gradually conquered me. I made her come into my heart. And she had warmed my cold heart. She had taken me by the hand and made me rediscover what it meant to love. What it was like to hold in your arms someone you love. Maybe all this was too much for me, for someone accustomed to loneliness.

Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may

Now I know that she'll never leave me. Now she's gone, but when I close my eyes I can see her still beside me, tormenting and calming me at the same time. "Mihawk!" "(Y/n), what's wrong?" She looked at me smiling. "I made dinner!" "Since when can you cook?" She snorted impatiently. "Couldn't you try to trust me, love?" How much I loved it when she called me like that. "On one condition, baby." She looked at me confused, she had no idea I could accept. Then I walked over to her taking her face in my hands and she blushed. I smiled. I loved it when she was so. "After dinner, let me be able to personally take care of the dessert." And I slid a hand along her neck. She glanced away from me embarrassed and I, unable to resist, bent over her kissing her. "Then (Y/n)? What do you think? " "O-okay, if you want..." How nice was my (Y/n).

Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore

I was wandering in my lonely tower. A part of me was illuded, hoping that by opening the door to my room she would be still in my bed, snuggled in the blankets. I imagined she could gather again at my chest, imagining I could feel her warm hands on me, her hot breath on my skin and her feeble voice in the night. I closed my eyes to have her next to me forever, ending in my eternal illusion of happiness.

I range against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach

Yet this feeling that everyone called love could be so hateful. It wasn't always rosy as everyone extolled, indeed. The quarrel never failed and it was during these times that I saw her light fade. "How could you do sometng like that Mihawk?" She was really angry. For what then? Crap in my opinion. I mean, I wasn't for sure one of those princes charming of which she read in fairy tales. "Tell me (Y/n), and what you'd expect for someone like me? I'm a pirate! " She bit a lip. "But you're part of the Shichibukai, you should..." "Open your eyes. A pirate is always a pirate. " "I thought you were different, Mihawk." Those words caused me immense pain, but actually we were already far away. And she was so unattainable. But ultimately that, what kind of future there was for a girl and a pirate? Maybe none.

Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she fades from view
She will still inspire me
Be a part of everything I do

I know she won't leave me. Maybe hers contours and her figure will fade, but her memory will forever remain in my mind. Everything of her will continue to inspire me. All the time.

Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And as the long, long nights begin
I'll think of all that might have been
Waiting here for evermore

I'll belive once again that she can walk through that door, she's waiting for me with her smile. And during the long and quiet nights that will accompany me I look back to us, (Y/n), everything we had, but mostly everything we could be if only I'd been able to keep you by my side. To hold you to me and don't let you go, don't let you go from my arms. I will continue to delude myself that someday she could come back to stay forever with me. Just you and me (Y/n), forever.
