What is a letter/note you've always wanted to give to a loved one but never had the courage to? - The Letter

The hallway was empty.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZgprUCQdy

Ren walked slowly, the quiet echo of his footsteps following him like a memory. It was late—long after classes had ended. He had come back for a book he’d left behind, or so he told himself.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc9PZ0UVBH

But he didn’t go to the classroom.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3maD4ygA2

His feet stopped in front of the music room.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2hIUYqGni

Inside, soft piano notes floated through the air—hesitant, broken, like someone searching for a melody they couldn’t quite reach. He didn’t have to look.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAHWoMlNmQ

He knew that sound.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlzFdcsho4

Haruki.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Fczr9bjB

Ren stood frozen, just beyond the glass-paneled door. The lights inside were dim. Haruki sat at the piano bench, head down, fingers trailing over the keys like they were made of glass.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1FR8KgucI

His hair had grown longer. He looked tired. Beautiful.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAiMcLIrwX

Painfully beautiful.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAhThu0Apt

Ren’s chest tightened. His heart knew what his mind didn’t want to admit—he still loved him. Desperately. Quietly. Unreasonably.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWkj420sox

He thought about opening the door. About walking in, sitting beside Haruki like he used to. About telling him everything.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO4cFjL5ei

> “I’m sorry.”

“I never meant to hurt you.”

“I still love you.”

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeNnW2hKyB

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo7tQHaAAV

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppSzQGFYnK

But he knew what would happen.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ZXLkqJgq

Haruki wouldn’t speak. Maybe he would leave. Maybe the silence would scream louder than any words ever could.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhTJRVONI9

So Ren didn’t open the door.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasDmIk45dj

He just reached into his coat pocket… and pulled out the letter.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oJc3uupH

It was worn, folded at the edges. He had rewritten it three times. He had cried over it once.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYh0F08u2f

And now, it was ready.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEMPS2w4Co

Ren knelt down, quietly, like a boy laying a gift at the feet of a god he could never touch. He slid the letter under the door—just far enough so Haruki would see it when he stood.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO4XEcoJGk

He didn’t stay.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyGzGLRwGl

He turned and walked away before the piano even stopped.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhUQ6ApiaB

But the words he left behind… would stay.

The Letter

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsWGxKlJE1

Haruki,

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfeLiwS6XR

I don’t know if you’ll read this. I don’t know if you’ll tear it apart, or laugh, or cry, or feel nothing at all.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdsMw55Ggp

But I need you to know what I couldn’t say—what I was too broken, too scared, too ruined to tell you.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJtvRF47Yg

I loved you.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODnANln4d4

I still do.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhGmv2UsE9

Not because you were kind to me when no one else was. Not because you were beautiful or smart or special.

But because when you smiled at me… I felt like I existed.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmprB294kH2

You made this gray world glow. You were my light when I didn’t even know I was drowning.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWFSmEAH85

I’m sorry for what I did. I should have never followed you that day. I should have never hurt you. I thought love meant reaching for someone—but maybe for someone like me, it meant staying away.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnkqI9jk5y

You didn’t owe me anything. Not your friendship. Not your forgiveness. Not even your eyes.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkgxnd0Lk3

But I still miss the way you used to look at me.

I miss the way your voice softened when you said my name.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiMOqYr4Oi

I miss us.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnzEL7R7j0

If there’s any part of you that remembers what we had—

even just the way cherry blossoms fell around us that spring—

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae46jvloPe

Know this:

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZyCj2vJxX

I would do anything to protect that memory.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6X1SytWE6

I’m not asking you to forgive me.

I’m not asking you to love me.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RzHi0yhvI

I just want you to know—

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggV90Urz1e

You were my favorite part of this life.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACIXrzou2A

—Ren

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlOZx6cXP5

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKnypaB6kC

Outside the music room, the hallway stayed silent.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt4DIILmpH

But inside, long after Ren had gone, the piano stopped.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjlKE5DIqI

And Haruki stared at the letter in his hand.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCtI6wEkNs

With trembling fingers.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bBRsxIF80

And tears in his eyes.
