Hell must be empty, because all the devils are raging inside me.
I never wanted to save you.
Only to sit with you in your ice forest until the dawn returned.
Only to be a fire when your world turned was cold.
Only to be a knight, your knight... even when your kingdom was made of dust.
You never had to love me perfectly. You only had to stay.
But now you’re gone, and I don’t know if I’ll ever hear from you again.
If you ever read this, please know…
You were not a mistake.
You were a meaning, my meaning.
Where the cobblestone path leaf to building a home, a kingdom, inside the ruins of your heart. brick by brick, with my broken hands.
And even if you never return, if you walk another road and forget my name… only know this. you were loved. Fully, foolishly, fiercely. I do not apologize for that.
Because even ghosts deserve to be loved.
And even broken hearts can be sacred.
Even darkness can't hold back the fire that burns.
And if I must walk through this world haunted, then let your name be the ghost that never leaves me.
Always,
The man who dared to believe you could be loved — even when you couldn't see it yourself.
