Of course, as an eternally lovesick 14-year-old, Jorah used his remaining time writing a letter to unrequited love and future Empress Of Everything Daenerys Targaryen. While the show only offered a brief shot of the letter, Twitter has revealed all. And it’s as melodramatic as you’d expect:
It’s a bit disappointing to see the full text for a number of reasons. One is that it doesn’t describe exactly how thinking of Dany’s face makes Jorah feel while lying awake at night, and the second is that there are no top 40 lyrics used to express the truth of his broken heart.
Still, some of the lines are real bangers. “I have had a longer life than I deserved” is succinct self-pitying of the best kind. You can almost picture this middle-aged warrior man putting his quill down and smiling, knowing that everyone is going to feel really bad once he’s gone because they didn’t appreciate him enough. It’s no small feat that this bare confessional elicits more uncomfortable squirming than the episode’s prolonged scene of Jorah’s experimental treatment. Love makes fools of us all.
