Goodbye, my one and only.
This might not be the best moment to send this sorta thing, but I'm afraid it is time to do so.
For so long I've thought that I was going to be able to handle it, the truth. I hoped for the best and clinged into a hopeless case of a one-sided love as my only resource of strenght. Only to realize now, that I'm nothing but alone, and if that wasn't enough, I'm dying too. My cancer has spread to other areas of my body, the treatment has not been working, only making it worse, to be fair. It's time for me to say my farewells. First than anything, I want you to know that it's not your fault at all. It was never your fault to begin with, and I hope you know it. All this time I've been trying to send messages comfortably with cheerful topics, but in reality everything has been rough. I keep on fainting, coughing blood out of nowhere. Not even my dad can be calm, he can't even get enough sleep these days. The doctors have given up on me already, and so did I. That's why, I'm moving in to Busan, near the beach, to at least be able to enjoy my last month of life near a place I've always wanted to be in. Don't worry though, if you still want to keep in touch by that time, I'm still able to go in my computer these days and type for some time. I'm just not able to hold my phone for long periods of time, or do things like holding my guitar like I used to, play around... It still seems unrealistic to me, but I've had to get used to the reality since it's already there. It's weird to think about the amount of things I wanted to do as soon as I grew up, and now that I'm an adult the only things I'm able to do is to lay in bed the whole day and eat light meals. Motivation is no longer a word that I can recognize easily. Two weeks ago I'd wish time hurried its way up so I'd be able to talk a little bit more with you, but today I'm just staring at the roof without any emotion. Before I was even brave enough to send the first message, I went through your personal tag, which is why I apologized in the first instance. I'm sorry that you got heartbroken, and I'm also sorry that you're yet not able to get over a relationship that mattered a lot to you, I can sincerely understand that feeling just now. You deserve to be loved, even if you can't express your feelings very well, but you have them deep inside of you, just as livid as anyone else. You're still young, and I know that I'm not exactly much older than you (well, in SK I'd be 21 in October, but who cares) but I shall let you know that there are things more important than love itself. You still have a long way to go, dreams to achieve, and even when you feel hopeless and worthless, I want you to know that there's someone who believes genuinely in you, and that's me. I'd talk in behalf of anyone else who's friends with you, but I don't know their mind. I knew it wasn't the right time to ask for an opportunity to be loved by you when I did ask, but I felt that time kept on hurrying me up. Certainly, I didn't know there was so little time left when I asked. I'm now relieved that we did not go any further, since the news would have hurted you. I don't think I'd have been able to forgive myself if that was the case. Even when I got hurt by some of your comments, when I saw you getting hurts by others, frustrated at yourself, giving me short answers, I still did want to be beside you. Well, not to play fool, I still do, but it's no longer healthy for any of us. My head is in pain right now, but I'll try my best to write down all I've ever wanted to say. I know that we both went through really hard times, and almost experienced the same sort of emotional pain when it came to our families, so I think I can talk about it comfortably. There are times when you get upset at your director and let them win over you by not going to school or just giving yourself a hard time due to the same reasons. You'll learn to handle it on your own, but I know that you know better than that right now. You know, all this time I've had to deal with criticism from all sides. At first it was my family, then even my co-workers would make certain comments that would make me go mad. One day I even had to hide in the corner of the stairs because I couldn't keep myself together, so I ended up crying. Thankfully no one saw me and I was able to go back to work like nothing happened. Still, I was so frustrated because I was doing my best at work, even working overtime to get everything done while the rest of the employees would leave everything behind without having anyone behind their backs the whole time. But I can tell you something for sure, I always did as they asked me to, and I let them walk on me as if I didn't have any dignity. I didn't have it back then, but as I started to work in different companies and analyzed each of my bosses, I've come to notice that people on higher positions grow to be straight up fools, not to say any cuss word. So don't take it personal, they're so used to having control of everything and giving orders that for them doing rude things it's just a daily thing. But you, love, will be able to go through all of this even if it seems like it's impossible. I can assure you that. And even if you don't feel like you can deal with it, I'll be there to give you the strenght you need, even if you don't see me around anymore. At least I've been able to sleep in the afternoons, since I keep on dozzing off due to medication. My legs are giving up most of the time too, so I've started to walk funnily. I've still tried to ignore the pain, but it's still there, bothering me. Even if you no longer reply to this message, I will fully understand, as I wouldn't know what to reply if I were you. I'll still make sure to send you lots of pictures of the beach once that I get there, though. I've wanted to become a singer ever since I was little, but as I grew up I also noticed that I didn't really crave attention so I ended up wanting to become a music producer, not only to produce my own music in the comfiness of a room, but to be able to let other musicians share their music too. It's a shame that wasn't meant to happen. Still, thanks to your charming little emoticons, deep conversational skills, adorable smile and overall an amazing existence, you managed to get within the rotten walls of my feelings, and that motivated me to write songs these days, after not being able to write songs for years. It's really the only thing that makes me want to wake up after dozzing off for 12 hours in a row. So I'm deeply thankful, once again. I'll be more likely working on these songs and taking pictures of the beach for the rest of the month, so hopefully you'll get to hear them before the time comes as they're made for no one but you. Hmph... I remember one week ago I'd have considered that one phrase "If you really love someone, you need to know how to let go" and I wanted to let you go for the same reasons, but now it just turned out to be like this and I thought it's funny the way life sneaks up on you. My eyes are getting heavy once again and I'd save this as a draft just like the other two that I've written down, but since I keep on changing my words all the time, I'll just send this one, as this is the one in which I've expressed myself the most. If you will remain quiet, I'll just end this note thanking you for everything. Thank you for existing, for allowing me to feel love at one point of my life, for being here right now, for unknowingly teaching me so many things, for playing games with me at ungodly hours when I was depressed... For never giving up on me, and giving me words of strenght when I was not able to hold myself together. I love you, I really do. And I wish that you live a long, meaningful and healthy life, in which you'll achieve every single dream you've wanted to. I hope that you never isolate yourself too much as it's really painful, and I don't want for you to be hurt by any means. I hope that you find yourself in a healthy relationship at the right time with someone who is loving towards you and will take care of you the way they'd take care of their parents. Also, someone who likes cats as much as you do, since they're a very important part of your life. And finally, I wish health for your family and those who matter to you, and that everything gets sorted out so you don't ever doubt about your worth. You really are a wonderful person, the love of my life, and the best mother your cats could ever have. Oh! Before I forget about it, I've been tagging some things for you on my main tumblr account as "k" so feel free to see them. Most of them are cats. It's really time for me to get going now. I would like to promise that I'll be around to update you on anything, but it's no longer something that I can have for sure. I'll assure you though, you'll get to hear those songs one day. Even if I can't finish them, I'll make sure that my closest friend works on them so you can have them. Please be safe out there, Stay out of trouble and be kind to people.
Your weird half-korean friend, Park Yoon Ah.
