Enchanted Forest
I remember the times when we were happy.
Little memories from our life together, a life that was too short but even so, full of precious moments that will forever stay craved in my heart.
Do you also remember how we used to laugh together?
I look at this room once full of joy and smiles…it’s so quiet now. I never realized how much your simple presence brightened my day, your bright smile used to be my favorite kind of personal energy, in a strange way you boosted me up.
Tell me Hyukjae are you happy? Did you find the peace you longed for?
There’s still a part of me that refuses to believe, that refuses to let go. My heart still fights against reality it’s something I can’t stop, something I won’t stop. When these feelings become too strong for me to bear I simply scream…I scream until my voice runs out, until my throat starts bleeding, until tears stop falling.
Your favorite umbrella is still opened on the rooftop, near our secret bird-nest. It’s exactly on the same place where you left it even though the rain has stopped falling. Those little fellows are strong and they’re finally starting to give their first baby steps, spreading their wings once in a while.
Has it really been three months since I last saw you?
Work has been chaotic these days, I hardly sleep and I’m doing what you hate most; eating junk food, drinking loads of coffee and breathing the finest tobacco out there. Not healthy, I’m the first one to admit it, but I’m eager to leave this world. I’m not going to lie about it, I want to end this suffering but unlike you I’m a coward and guts fail me when I think about ending this nightmare sooner than God’s wish.
Is God angry at you?
You used to joke around pretending you didn’t care whether or not heaven existed, but deep down inside I knew you were actually scared of punishment. Don’t worry my love. You’re the purest of Angels, God must be happy to finally have you by his side.
Junsu comes here almost every week, he really misses you and he doesn’t understand why you did it. Sometimes I catch him glancing in my direction; his eyes are judgmental and angry. I don’t blame him, I did nothing to keep you here by my side, I didn’t protect you when you were fragile and scared, I failed. This is my punishment and I gladly take it.
Do you remember our promise?
Lately, during the few hours I sleep, I dream with that day. I clearly see your flushed face as the ring presses around your finger, I hear the words you speak, your promise of forever and I still believe in it. There are trees surrounding us keeping the world at bay, protecting us with its beautiful green garden, an endless and wild one.
We're free, we're happy...we're one.
I still have the candles from that day, from our first birthday. I light them once in a while only to remember our vows, to keep them close to my heart.
That enchanted forest…
…that’s the place where I can hear the sound of your heartbeat against mine, the echo of your words gently spreading through air, the place where I can feel the touch of your silky hair on my shoulder and the soft breeze of our promise linking our souls…wherever you go I’ll be just one step behind.
So wait for me Hyukjae, it won’t take long for us to finally have our happy ending.
