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.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvvvywoNb8

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.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaJkVgqDon

But he didn’t go to the classroom.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuTIKWF3Yh

His feet stopped in front of the music room.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLApYluSVs

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.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtpIqsq6YK

He knew that sound.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp48Ex1eU0k

Haruki.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkH5vHO8vU

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.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PJaiQPQSG

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQsRp6ebbV

Painfully beautiful.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9uKG9fG6L

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0mCLLXwAU

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoI8w1HITD

> “I’m sorry.”

“I never meant to hurt you.”

“I still love you.”

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSLiMlXVJ7

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdOpRETeoZ

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpeBafd6tv

But he knew what would happen.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDCfuBy5q8

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ikLf7uaLh

So Ren didn’t open the door.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnOeWDfdw0

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9w1Wdzo4n

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrDCBpMnkG

And now, it was ready.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zLIK7aVMk

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.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ0La9VKfz

He didn’t stay.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO1Tb6rKhC

He turned and walked away before the piano even stopped.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuPheDRPpC

But the words he left behind… would stay.

The Letter

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrkKHcPYOU

Haruki,

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4itT3yBLV

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.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s84OqeVGc

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit1YZvjf3H

I loved you.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JZ6HLapeW

I still do.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mFkB5dDM3

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.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE37MTuqcLo

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVYcDXbNpI

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.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuvrwa67BX

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPlum1pREl

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

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZDlDQUmg1

I miss us.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LtaJIHbGF

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

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe4wlirCvT

Know this:

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEi5sqmMHe

I would do anything to protect that memory.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9iEPOrJFT

I’m not asking you to forgive me.

I’m not asking you to love me.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVffTjNT88

I just want you to know—

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAoAm26Ky4

You were my favorite part of this life.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEUyRoD3jT

—Ren

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkFVn6c3qz

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1pFmT045I

Outside the music room, the hallway stayed silent.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqj1WKg2kX

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

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiGfZ5AXMZ

And Haruki stared at the letter in his hand.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o6jK5sCpM

With trembling fingers.

31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNObMgnwJ3S

And tears in his eyes.
