00:36 Dearest lover, every inch of my fleshly body yearns for you.
00:41 How am I expected to participate in each passing day when life without your presence is as devoid of meaning as an eternity in purgatory?
00:50 I can feel my soul dancing delicately on the tightrope of despair as I wait for any sign that you are alive and that your heart still beats unceasingly for me.
01:02 I pray every day for a letter, hoping to receive one soon.
01:07 Yours more with each passing day, Emily.

01:17 Your pure soul has always been the light by which I live my life.
01:21 I am but a ship following your guy in my lighthouse.
01:25 But lately, oh how it pains me to even say, lately my eyes are growing tired of searching for your fading glow.
01:34 My house, my town, even my daily routines have become a cavern in the night.
01:40 Something that once held a magical sense of adventure and exploration has now become a cage of pitch black as my bright lantern has been ripped from my hands.
01:51 Send me anything, a sign, a letter.
01:56 Yours forevermore, Emily.

02:04 Oh bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, I ache to walk through the door and see that smile of yours spread across your face like wildfire.
02:14 It seems to me often that you were made of half of me, to be pulled further and further from you each passing day.
02:23 And each new ship is a torture unimaginable, as if being pulled limb from limb.
02:30 The ocean used to represent my love for you, intense, alive, and deeper than anything else known to man.
02:38 Now, it is only the distance between myself and the other half of my heart.
02:44 Is there a reason that no letters find their way back to me?
02:48 Have you given up on our love?
02:50 Has it become a burden to you?
02:52 Or are your responses dissolving into nothingness at the bottom of the sea?
02:58 Are you dissolving into nothingness at the bottom of the sea?
03:03 I do not know how much longer I can go without hearing from you.
03:08 It taxes my heart like nothing else I've ever known.
03:12 Please, John. Please.
03:17 Hopelessly yours, Emily.
