i think the hardest part is realizing the world keeps moving even after something important to you disappears.
people online talk about departures like they’re temporary trends. after a few weeks, everyone slowly moves on, new photos come out, new songs release, new conversations start. but for some fans, it doesn’t really leave that easily.
i don’t think you’ll ever truly understand how deeply you became part of some people’s lives.
there are songs i can’t listen to normally anymore because ur voice comes in and suddenly everything hurts again. there are performances i used to replay every night that i now avoid because they remind me too much of a version of things that no longer exists.
and maybe that sounds dramatic. but when you support someone for years, they quietly become part of your routine, your comfort, your happiest moments. without noticing, i connected certain memories, certain feelings, even certain versions of myself to enhypen as seven.
especially you.
