DISTANT IN HEART, CLOSE IN MEMORY

I miss you,

even when I try not to.

Even if you were the one who hurt me,

even if you chose to leave,

Even though I think about you scarcesly,

I still miss you.

Each time I hear that singer,

each time I watch a K-drama......,

you return to me—quietly,

because you once brought them into my life.

So maybe it is normal

that each of those reminds me of you.

But I will not come back.

You chose to leave,

and I did not beg you to stay.

I do not beg people to come,

nor to stay,

nor to leave.

You are free.

And I am still here—

holding both distance and memory

at the same time.

I miss you…

but I let you go.

Yet, I bear no regrets.

I know I did my best—

perhaps even more.

And somehow,

I am at peace with it all.

With my choice.

With myself.

Even in the absence,

I remain whole.

You were just a part of my existence,
