: I Purple You — The Three Words That Rewrote Love

Taehyung gave us a word, but all 7 gave it a heartbeat“. 💜

By sonuPublished 5 months ago • 3 min read

“ I love you ” is easy.

People say it on day one. They say it in pictures. They publish it on cards at the grocery store. But “ I grandiloquent you ”? That’s not Hallmark. That’s a sanitarium cuff. That’s a 3 AM textbook. That’s a pledge you only make when you plan to stay for the messy corridor. Taehyung said it first in 2016, all shy “ Do you know what purple means? Purple is the last color of the rainbow. It means I'll trust and love you for a long time. ” He allowed

he was tutoring colors.

He was actually tutoring us how to survive each other. Because red is fireworks. Red is first dates. Red burns presto.

Blue is sad songs. Blue feels deep but sinks.

Yellow is summer. unheroic leaves in September. Purple is the color you choose when the seasons end. When the makeup comes off. When you see the unattractive and say, “ I’m still then. ” And also the other 6 took that word and erected us a home with it Namjoon’s “ I grandiloquent you ” is gospel.

He stands in the rain, hair stuck to his forepart, and screams it like he’s arguing with God “ Your actuality itself is love. You do n’t have to come anything. Just be. I purple you for being. ”

His purple is why we stay when we feel useless. Seokjin’s “ I grandiloquent you ” is a mask.

He blows a kiss at the end of every musicale, eyes crinkled “ You’re enough indeed when you’re not happy. Especially also. I purple you on your worst day. ”

His purple is why we answer the phone at 2 AM. Yoongi’s “ I grandiloquent you ” is silence.

He does n’t say it much. He shows it in “ It’s okay to not have a dream ” and “ The dawn right before daylight is the darkest. ”

His purple means “ You do n’t have to perform for me. Come undone. I purple you in the dark. ”

His purple is why we stop pretending. Hoseok’s “ I grandiloquent you ” is daylight.

He throws 💜 with his whole body, but his real purple comes when he’s not smiling “ If you ca n’t fly, also run.However, walk, If you ca n’t run. I purple you, so I’ll walk with you. ”

His purple is why we get out of bed. Jimin’s “ I grandiloquent you ” is a secret.

Hand on his casket, voice slightly there “ Your wimpiness is n't a weakness I need to fix. It’s a theater I need to cover. I purple you, gently. ”

His purple is why we stop apologizing for crying. Jungkook’s “ I grandiloquent you ” is growing up.

From a 15- time-old tale to a man roaring “ ARMY I PURPLE YOU! ” at Wembley “ You watched me come a person. Now let me watch you survive. I purple you until the end. ”

His purple is why we believe in “ ever. ” Taehyung’s “ I grandiloquent you ” is the root.

He gave us the word, but he keeps giving it new meaning. “ I grandiloquent you ” in downtime. “ I grandiloquent you ” when he’s tired. “ I grandiloquent you ” when we’re tired.

His purple is why the word exists. So when we say “ I grandiloquent you, ” we’re not being cute. We’re saying

Namjoon’s reason Jin’s warmth Yoongi’s quiet Hobi’s sun Jimin’s care Tae’s pledge Jungkook’s fidelity.

All 7. At formerly. For you. 💜 is our exigency language.

💜 is “ I’ve been where you are. ”

💜 is “ You’re not too heavy. ”

💜 is “ The last color of the rainbow was saved for the people who allowed

they would n’t see the end. ” “ I love you ” asks you to be sweet.

“ I grandiloquent you ” decides you formerly are. That’s why we tattoo it. That’s why we note it under self-murder notes. That’s why we end calls with it rather of farewell. Because Taehyung gave us a word.

But BTS gave it blood. And now when the world gets loud, when anxiety says “ you’re a burden, ” when depression says “ no bone

stays ” We do n’t argue.

We just shoot 💜 I purple you.

We grandiloquent you.

For a long, long time.
