Before Our Spring

A letter to Kim Jonghyun.

Beauty, Prestige and Devotion. The absolute dedication you have towards what, and whom you love is admirable.

The pure kindness you exert is appalling. Love for others fills your soul to the brim. Your words, though written, are as smooth and beautiful as the fallen petals of a cherry blossom tree.

You began your career rather young, working hard, perseverance your leading light.

For years, you and your groupmates owned the stage, soaring above anything else.

You try with every waking hour to improve yourself, to please those who looked to you for support and happiness.

Eyes glimmer with hope and determination. Smile, wide and welcoming, bright as the rising sun in the peak of a warm July. Caring, comes as if it is second nature, nurturing those around you as if it is your job.

Hard working, sleepless nights and seemingly endless days, never dull your bright mood. Despite how you treat those around you so adoringly, you rarely get it in return from those closest to you.

Though you don’t, you persuade yourself to believe that you deserve it.

But you don’t, you deserve nothing but the best of the best treatment beyond compare.

A sweet soul as your own, needs to be handled with the up most care and diligence.

With your open arms and warm heart, you have a pure demeanor and safe calling. From all of those you have loved so endearingly, thank you, you deserve nothing but the best in life.

A Continuation -

Months, years even, you have been missing. Gone. Holes fill our hearts for you, longing to hold your hand once more.

Where did you go dear? What has caused you to leave us with scarce reasoning? Was it something we did? Or perhaps something we didn’t do?

Did we neglect to see what you wanted us to know? If you could tell us one more thing before you left, would you say you were sorry or give a reason.

We blame nothing on you, but on ourselves, for not watching out for our beloved was safe.

After nine years of your love, we lose a piece of our hearts on a cold, now colder day.

Two years passed, and yet the burning and aching agony of your absence, still lingers in our hearts and minds.

Dear love you ask if you did well, and the answer is, and always will be, you did the best.

The accomplishments you reached in your lifetime inhabit your determination and perseverance.

Our sweet moon, watching, a beautiful angel guarding us.

Though we miss and yearn for your return, we are not the most impacted.

You have a family. A Mother and a Father, siblings.

Coworkers and peers, who stood by you no matter the circumstances of the situation. They supported from afar you when you went another direction for a time.

A constant thought, about their feelings. Do they think of you as much as we do? Do they cry when your name is mentioned?

A wish we wish is to be by those who loved you as much as we did, to hold them, and be with them as they let out their feelings.

Your impact was world wide, not just confined to your home.

Your sweet words and captivating voice are what lightens up our days, a soft moonlight if you will.

Though your absence is a painful reality, we like to look back at everything you did and stood for.

You didn’t fear showing your emotions, you wished to make everybody around you happy, even at your own expense.

All in all dear, you did so well, we are so proud and though we miss you every waking second of our lives, we will see you again sweet baby.
