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.

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.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv79nkBMz6

But he didn’t go to the classroom.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5meAPY5QIx

His feet stopped in front of the music room.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAmkvoXqvK

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.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9aM9UG79F

He knew that sound.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTQwK5xPvX

Haruki.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawGwxRqy1P

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.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIVi63Tjm9

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tYCXXNOxD

Painfully beautiful.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkKxE5Epqs

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlzazaRbuM

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdsMyfza3v

> “I’m sorry.”

“I never meant to hurt you.”

“I still love you.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18fgmCcO20

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78uj4Tg7dg

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYHPxquyUJ

But he knew what would happen.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aZY6swOyB

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAgOYNxO8R

So Ren didn’t open the door.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVA61lQbiX

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo7UCUQTU9

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCYs3CwUZM

And now, it was ready.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMnxuGubsj

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.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXABkuFoupB

He didn’t stay.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOolAbQqtIc

He turned and walked away before the piano even stopped.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakybw8nc77

But the words he left behind… would stay.

The Letter

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDBuaaKru

Haruki,

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Dwvz8Mpx

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.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWw1HHaz85

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2K5IqAfVZ

I loved you.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpCkYiKE7v

I still do.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsBMa1Fhlz

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.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7GvkK52qF

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AuEth1iEj

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.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pp8fucBAv

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEiHB9ypxd

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

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOndRMTkPpn

I miss us.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZPOyqC9o4

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

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBk6ZWDUSo

Know this:

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs27YZSiVR

I would do anything to protect that memory.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzRb2FBPfl

I’m not asking you to forgive me.

I’m not asking you to love me.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY1MMcWl2F

I just want you to know—

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVelgLOqvB3

You were my favorite part of this life.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeLkAZjltp

—Ren

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCk2K8w2Rm

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSqgqWvmdF

Outside the music room, the hallway stayed silent.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIkcJRo82Z

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

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmxOPzVOHr

And Haruki stared at the letter in his hand.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcNnnu5nhQ

With trembling fingers.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54SX799Qij

And tears in his eyes.
