Kim Jonghyun, to me, seemed perfect.
I could never find a single flaw in him, it awed me.
It wasn't until this morning I realized I had been very, very wrong.
His dedication to music, talent, and personality stood out and impacted countless of people including myself. I've always loved his smile, and his voice was a phenomenon I could never do justice describing. . .
A twitter reply:
"Tell your idol you love them, because mine isn't here anymore."
And, a comment on Jonghyun's most recent Instagram post:
"Come back."
Seeing these comments made me break down even if I had just pulled myself together. His passing sent me into such shock and disbelief I barley remember how the first half of my day went. Jonghyun, I truly hope you left this world on a good note, because if you didn't I don't know if I could forgive myself.
Loving brother and son, widely admired vocalist, and forever in my heart.
Goodbye, Jonghyun.
(Can I plant a rose, grow it, and pretend that you're still here with me? I think I will, just to numb the pain even by a little. Thank you for all you've done. You've lived a wonderful life, please do rest in peace.)
