Four years have passed in a heartbeat. Four years from the day it changed everything in my life. The world continued on its course, but a part of my heart had been stolen from me. The moment I knew you were no longer here was one of the most painful of my life. I didn't know what to do. Despite everything, I got on with it. I enrolled in college, I reflected my love for you in my art. Every time I needed you, I just listened to your songs. Listening to you comforts me... However, the day I listened to Blue Night again, I cried. And a lot.
This year, it was one of the calmest for me. That doesn't mean that it has stopped hurting, but I have been able to take things differently. What if I cried? Of course. It was barely twelve at night, and reality hit me. Another anniversary of the day I lost you forever. I have not wanted to do anything but remember you in the best possible way.
Like this:
You, happy. Doing what you loved. Being on stage, singing, dancing, enjoying your music and your art with shawol. This year, I chose to leave out the bad comments from people who have no idea who you are, I chose to remember you happy, without reading anything sad or distressing. I chose to remember you with a smile on my face, even though the tears are still in my eyes.
I miss you, I love you and that will never change. No matter the years that pass, you will always be in my heart, in my mind, in my art and in the tattoos that I chose to wear on my skin in honor of you.
I love you, JongHyun. Thank you for being part of my life โค๏ธ
