Jonghyun, I’m sorry. You have given me so much happiness and you have helped me through so many tough times and in the end I couldn’t do the same for you, I couldn’t save you.
I just hope that those times when we met, when I watched you shine so beautifully at stage, you could feel my love and all of Shawols love for you.
I treasure the moments I got to meet you so much but I can’t stand that I won’t be able to anymore.
I wish I would have done more, I wish I would have traveled the whole world for you, attended every event, and told you how much you mean to me a thousand times. I can’t stand the thought of living in a world where you do not exist. I miss you so much. Still I’m so thankful that I was able to spend some of my time on earth with you.
These past 9 years my life has changed a lot. I’ve grown, I’ve moved countries, I’ve graduated, I’ve gotten a job, I’ve been heartbroken, I’ve cried, I’ve laughed. So many things have changed but the only thing constant has been my love for SHINee. It has never wavered.
I fell in love with you for the first time in my little hometown in Sweden, and I met you for the first time in Paris. I couldn’t stop my tears at that time, I was so happy to see you, and all of SHINee, in real life.
Since then I’ve met you in Tokyo and in Seoul so many times I almost took the happiness of seeing you for granted. I’ve cried with you, I’ve sang along with you and I’ve laughed, both at you and you silly antics, and more than anything - together with you. SHINee has been the only constant thing of happiness in my life these past 9 years and I don’t know how how I will cope without you. After a hard day SHINee has always been the thing to cheer me up.
Everything is so hard right now but I hope that in the future I will be able to look back at videos of you with happiness instead of sadness and that I will be able to listen to your music and smile. Please look after SHINee and Shawol from wherever you are now.
And Jonghyun, you did so well. You did amazing. I couldn’t be more proud. It was hard and you fought and that’s enough. You did enough. You deserve to rest now. You deserve to be free from it all and be happy.
Thank you so much. Thank you for bringing me SHINee, for bringing me your voice, your music, your kind spirit. I can’t thank you enough. I love you, always. 사랑해.
