To Katara
Katara,
I'm sorry for all that I did to you.
I'm sorry for stealing your necklace.
I'm sorry that my people killed your mother. I wish I could give her back to you.
I know I do not deserve to be your friend. But I want to be much more than that.
I don't know how I was able to hurt someone who means so much to me.
I have never considered liking a girl from the water-tribe, but now that I see how you are, who you really are and not when we were fighting, I fell in love with you.
I see what I've done to you.
You're eyes show it.
You don't know what to do.
You don't know if you can trust me. But you can; I promise.
I don't want to see you like that. I want to see you happy. I want to see your beautiful smile, the energy in your eyes and an all around happy Katara.
I know that it will be hard for you to understand that I want to better myself, but you know that I can.
I feel so bad about what I've done to you before. The day you wanted to help me in Ba-Sing-Se I should have let you help me, not worrying what my uncle or the Avatar would think of me.
I should have said "I'm not weak and they know that. Getting help is not a sign of weakness."
I should have stayed there with you until you healed me and then we should have fought together against Azula and her friends. All of this would have never happened if I wouldn't have
been so selfish and only thought about my status. The Avatar would not be injured.
You wouldn't hate me.
Uncle Iroh wouldn't be in prison and could drink as much tea as he wanted.
I have no one to talk to right now.
I'm lonely Katara. I need someone.
Someone I can protect;
Someone I can hold close.
Someone who is not afraid of my scar and appreciates me the way I am.
Katara, I need you to be my someone.
I want you.
I need you.
I love you.
Yours, Zuko
