Piece: Words From The Heart
His travels had brought him all around the world. He had been living this life for years now, ever since the day he left. He didn't have any choice in that life changing situation, so he followed his gut and was gone. He now resided in a town far west of the Grand Line, away from his old friends and loved ones.
He didn't think anyone would find him, but she did. Of course she did. She knew everything. About everything. About him.
She sent a carrier pidgin to him. Attached to its beak was a letter. He wasn't sure whether opening it was the smart thing to do, because then he'd have to respond. But, he could not refuse her. He would forever hate himself if he did. So, he detached the note from the bird, cautiously, since it was shaking from his touch. Once the envelope rested in his palm, the bird was off.
That day, Zoro received a letter by air-mail. It read:
Dear Zoro:
I know life's hard
From your point of view.
Thinking that no one
Would ever want you.
Your mind scorned.
Your body scarred.
Your hands torn.
Your spirit barred.
I want you to know
That no matter what you do
Know that someone
Is always waiting for you.
I want to hold those hands
That have been beaten to sores
I want to hold your heart
To destroy pain bore.
I want to feel
Your rough gentle touch.
I want to feel
My body in your clutch.
So, I know life's hard
From your point of view
But I just thought you should know
That someone does love you.
That someone is me.
Someone does need you.
And that someone is…
Love, Yours Truly,
Nami
He smirked a pained smirk after reading it over a few more times. This was, or so he hoped, his ticket home. A place where he could be happy and escape the pain she had mentioned in her letter. He got out a pen and paper swiftly and responded. Now all he needed was a damn carrier pidgin and then maybe, just maybe, he could finally return to her what he had taken.
