you were beautiful | kang younghyun

shining,

i wrote you a letter
every day
and you never
sent a reply.

i texted you
every day
and you always
seemed to be busy.

it wasn't until
you picked up my call
and told me
you couldn't
"do this anymore."

i argued.
told you,
i loved you.

but you whispered
you couldn't say it back.
you never said it back.
after that and
to this day.

i could hear
your heart
crack on the other line.

and i'm very sure
the whole city,
country
and even
our broken sky
could hear mine
shatter.
