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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSpbQGWndx

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ66vzr8w6S

But he didn’t go to the classroom.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorCDXDzoAt

His feet stopped in front of the music room.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep1XQsUDoq

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrpZO9mPNu

He knew that sound.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA6q14l7ci

Haruki.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBGKVss5uW

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOoBjSEMaR

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMHUsvGjDV

Painfully beautiful.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l4xKFcHi2

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6gNqoLYAF

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxkCXMY479

> “I’m sorry.”

“I never meant to hurt you.”

“I still love you.”

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0vPIq74Rv

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY6yduDwdC

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenPZAigBKo

But he knew what would happen.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkmrFjOQ1I

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qeWhY9vob

So Ren didn’t open the door.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvMJlODQbP

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMT9aGXY5m

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReMReEpxzm

And now, it was ready.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdelYbhEa

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNtqv7UmFt

He didn’t stay.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLJ3YlNkvZ

He turned and walked away before the piano even stopped.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32JCGCYvPY

But the words he left behind… would stay.

The Letter

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4GeJE8Yb8

Haruki,

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpQIzZJkyD

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFnJiF3Hzv

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH6QyQ7yGo

I loved you.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX4rOZJH5I

I still do.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSLoFvffnh

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ284AKlZPRg

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iiFV63OwS

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZHM29Alnd

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxDoGihFYl

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYYU6omLrC

I miss us.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtc2UjxXBW

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7IBX3RjRv

Know this:

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZHOaS5gaw

I would do anything to protect that memory.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G3gVcRus2

I’m not asking you to forgive me.

I’m not asking you to love me.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLOmTIEDFi

I just want you to know—

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhHBozrM6A

You were my favorite part of this life.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjoSWqwhm7

—Ren

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCHDcvwBQH

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPKd4cxbg5

Outside the music room, the hallway stayed silent.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr21lmycKT

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

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWc8PPomHX

And Haruki stared at the letter in his hand.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1POr36jk8T

With trembling fingers.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFKkWyvhZR

And tears in his eyes.
