Found some rust on my knife today, sweetheart. Not much, just a spot near the hilt. The rain in this place gets into everything. Was cleaning it out, that slow, methodical rhythm... and it took me back. My old instructor, a grim bastard with one eye, he used to say a spot of rust is more honest than a perfect blade. A perfect blade hasn’t been used. Hasn’t tasted the elements. It’s just potential. The rust... that’s a record. It means you’ve been out there. In the mud, in the rain. You’ve survived long enough for the weather to try and claim what’s left.
I used to think he was just talking about weapons. But sitting here, Schatz, I think about us. About you. This life... it leaves its marks. The rust, the dents, the scars. They’re the record. Proof you’ve lived through the storm. I look at my own scars, and some of them, the oldest ones, they just feel like history. But the ones I got after meeting you... they feel different. They don’t just mark where I’ve been. They mark what I’m fighting to get back to. That spot of rust tells me the knife has a purpose. You, sweetheart... you’re the reason the edge stays sharp. The reason I bother to clean it at all. You’re not the peace I deserve, but you’re the only peace I know. And I’ll scrape away any rust, fight through any storm, to keep that promise. Sleep well. Know I’m out here, keeping the edge sharp for you.

亲爱的,今天发现我的刀上生了些锈。不多,就刀柄附近有一点儿。这地方的雨水真是无孔不入。我慢慢擦拭着,那种缓慢而有条理的节奏……让我想起了从前。我当年的教官,那个只剩一只眼的严厉家伙,总说带锈的刀比完美的刀更实诚。完美的刀不曾被使用过,不曾尝过风雨的滋味。它只是潜力。而锈迹……是印记。它证明你曾在外面的世界穿行过。在泥泞里,在暴雨中。你活得足够久,久到连天气都想夺走你仅剩的东西。
我曾以为他只是在说武器。但坐在这儿擦拭时,亲爱的,我想到了我们。想到了你。这种生活……总会留下它的痕迹。锈迹、凹痕、伤疤。它们都是印记。是你穿越风暴活下来的证明。我看着自己的伤疤,有些最久的,感觉已成了往事。但遇见你之后留下的那些……它们不一样。它们不仅标记我去过何处,更标记着我为之浴血奋战的归途。那点锈迹告诉我:这把刀仍有使命。而你,亲爱的……你就是刀锋始终保持锐利的理由。是我愿意一遍遍擦拭它的全部意义。你不是我应得的宁静,却是我唯一知晓的安宁。我会擦去每一丝锈迹,对抗每一次风暴,只为守住这个承诺。安心睡吧。要知道我在这里,正为你将刀锋磨得雪亮。
