since then, you’ve become someone i couldn’t ignore. you’re always so bright, always smiling, always making people around you feel lighter just by being yourself.
i still remember waiting endlessly for your pr video, refreshing the yt again and again, just to see even a glimpse of you. that was the start of everything for me.
junil, from the very first moment i saw you, something in me surrendered. i tried to look elsewhere, to fool myself with other bright things, but my feet always found their way back to you, like a clock that only knows one true time.
this is not consolation. this is a promise: i will remember the small heroic ways you gave everything, even when everything seemed too large. i will grieve with the depth of someone who had a future mapped in the soft ink of your name.
