DANIEL STANDS up from his seat and walked over to the podium to make a speech. his friends cheered him on from the bench, mouthing him a fighting! and giving him a thumbs up.
"oh — well, i dont know how to start," daniel lets out a soft chuckle, to distract him from tearing up. but the moment his eyes met the coffin that was sitting there soundly, he cant help but tear up.
"hyemi was one of a kind, i must say. i met her when i hit rock bottom. when i thought i couldnt find love again, i found her and suddenly my world started to light up," daniel pursed his lips.
"jesus christ, jung hyemi was one of the most beautiful thing ive ever laid hands on, and i'm so lucky to have loved someone like her," in that moment, he felt a tear roll down his cheek.
"i lost her once, and that was the most stupidest thing ive ever did — letting her go. when i watched her back go further away from me, i knew not only did i lose something that loved me, but i lost something that i truly loved and wanted to stay in my life forever,"
"she made me so happy, crazily happy, like as if i was the only happy one on earth. and to think that i once hurt a perfect angel like her? i hated myself for ever doing that, because who could ever hurt her?" he lightly chuckled.
"she made me appreciate all the little things in life. she became such a big impact even the little things i do reminds me of her. seeing my cats every day when i wake up reminds me of her because we adopted a cat together,"
"standing all alone while looking at myself in the mirror reminds me of her because she used to always critic my hair every morning before i go off to school,"
"sitting all alone on the park bench reminds me of her because that's the day she told me she had to leave for seoul. practically everything i do reminds me of her, that's how much an impact she has left on me,"
"she's so beautiful, i dont even think i could ever love anyone else other than her," daniel stopped for a while, he wanted to burst out crying but he had to put up a strong front. "and come to think of it, i didnt even deserve her. a useless man like me who has no dreams or whatever, doesnt deserve a smart, intelligent, beautiful woman like her,"
"jung hyemi, i hope wherever you are, you're happy. i hope no one could hurt you wherever you are. i hope you get to love someone who actually deserves you in the after life," he weakly smiled.
"thank you, hyemi. thank you for all the memories we spent together, be it good or bad, because i'll keep them both in my heart forever either way. thank you, for loving me even though the amount of times i've hurt you,"
"hyemi, you'll forever hold a special place in my heart, i hope we'll meet again one day, someday, but until that day comes, i'll forever pray to god that you're doing fine wherever you are," daniel ended his speech.
