1,000 Words

By Soultail Omega-Light/Shyla/Australia/Kathy Balog

This is a NamixZoro song poem that have been inspired by my personal experience with a boy in real life, with the song, "1000 Words" by Jade of Sweetbox. Nami and Zoro are Eiichiro Odo-sama's characters, the song already mentioned, only the situation and the idea of this is mine.

[Nami]
I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dreams
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily

It's been over two years,
hell, even longer since we last
seen each other, and still
you owe me my money,
but I can't believe how much
you changed from the last time we saw each other.

I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You fight your battles far from me
Far too easily.

Why do you have to train
yourself so hard all the time when we were
together, as Luffy's namaka?
Yet, I never got the words to
tell you how I felt for you.

"Save your tears 'cause I'll come back"
I could hear you whispered that as you walked through that door
But still I swore to hide the pain when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afriad to say what's in my heart

[Zoro]
Dammit, woman. Will you
leave me alone about the damn money?
Yet it has been a long time
since we last saw each other,
thus, we changed alot, both physically and mentally.

Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings

Even you have grown
up physically, as I would like to
admit to myself, yet I have
noticed that you have grown very
distant from our friends,
which is strange for me and
everyone else.

And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever

Are you playing a game of cat-and-mouse
with me? -growls-
This is stupid and I have
grown tired of playing them!
Just tell me what is on your damn
mind! In simple words for me to understand!

[Nami]
Zoro... I have been trying
to tell you, for years in fact,
that I love you, yet every damn time
I tried to talk to you, you are
either asleep or training, which
frustrates me to no end.

The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say

Now I finally pull you
away from the others to talk to
you, face-to-face, to tell you what's
on my mind. -takes a deep breath-
"Zoro, I know that we have been
far apart, but I don't care about
the money anymore, I care about you."

"Wait for me, I'll write you letters"
I could see you stammered with your eyes to the floor
But I still swore to hide the doubt when I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait?
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late

[Zoro]
Eh? Where the hell did
that come from? -shocked-
I didn't expect that statement
at all. -blinks several times-
"Huh? What the hell are you
talking about, woman?"

'Cause a thousand words
Call out though the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see, I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings

I had to step away from
you, couldn't find the words
to respond, thus, I felt really uncomfortable
around you.

Oh, a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever

[Nami]
Huh? I... I didn't predict that reaction
at all. What is happening to
me? -then gets angry-
"Dammit, Zoro. Can't you see
that I am telling you that the
past is history!"

Oh, a thousand words {One Thousand Words}
Have never been spoken {Oh Yeah}
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home {Carry You Home}
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings {On Silver Wings}

[Zoro]
"You are crazy!" I shouted
back at her, finally letting my
anger dull my judgment and my blades.
We glared at each other
for minutes, silence that
separated us, staring at each
other in the eye with fury.

And a thousand words {Oohh}
Call out through the ages {Through the ages}
They'll cradle you {Oh Yeah}
Turning all of the lonely years to only days {Only days}
They'll hold you forever...

[Nami]
I started to cry, since
I had enough of the drama
in my life, thus, I had to
break down into a fit of
tears, grabbing onto you for
support.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

A Thousand Words...

[Zoro]
Oh, man... -sighs-I hate
seeing you crying like that.
-comes up to you and gives
you a hug- I am sorry.
