For Pearl.
Oh Pearl… my Pearl… you must be so scared…. And that is the reason of why I am writing this letter. Life… is one of the most beautiful things, and giving life to a new kind of being is the most wonderful thing I can do… but you don`t want to understand that…
I have a favor to ask you Pearl…. Forgive me….. forgive my selfishness of leaving you here when you wanted to stay for me, forgive me for not telling you everything, please Pearl you have to understand that what I`m doing is not only for me but for everyone else too.
Steven is going to be not only your friend but also your family, because once he is ready he will make you see this world like I do, he is going to teach you so many things, he is going to expand your knowledge and also your heart.
I still remember when we were back at Home world, when you where a small child without a purpose, lost as a rock in the shoe of perfection, the so popular "Defective Pearl"… It pains me to bring you these memories back but I am afraid I must for Steven`s sake.
Do you remember what I told you when I said to you, you where perfect? You cried and looked away "You must be confused lady" I nodded in disagreement and grabbed your hand…. "Maybe you are not perfect for them, but that is because you are different, different in a good way."
Since then, you wouldn`t leave my side, we went everywhere together until…. the war. Pearl, that day the reason I told you, you where perfect, was not only because you are different from the others, but also, because I could see in your eyes that you had the capability to love others than just the Diamond Authority. (Even though that cannot be called love),
Do you remember the tree in the top of the hill we planted 500 years ago when we first arrived to the temple? Do you remember how we took care of it, looked after it and made it grow until it became what it is today? Well… I want to repeat the same exercise but now with a human being… you must water him with your gem knowledge, take care of him with the same love you gave me, protect him from all unknown danger so he can grow to be a splendid human and a marvelous gem!
Pearl, I don`t know what will happen to me…. I don`t know if I am going to die or if I am going to be part of Steven but I am not scared, and you should not be scared either, because I love you Pearl, and I will make sure that Steven loves you as much as I do…
Please… forgive me, I can no longer write; I am afraid my tears will ruin this thin paper… I have so much to tell you and such little time… but I know you will be okay, because you are my perfect Pearl.
I love you and forever I will...until the end
Rose
P.S. Don`t forget to water that tree!
