Roses for You

Roses for You

A Poem by yuhee
"

A tribute for SHINee's Jonghyun. #RosesforJonghyun

"
You said it was okay, you're fine
As that smile that always charmed us glow
We believed
We fell for it
Perhaps if we only look harder
We could noticed how strain it was

You are beaming like a boy in love
Jumping, feeling giddy all the time
We believed
We thought it was great
Perhaps if we only talk to you more
Then we found out it was all a lie

Roses for you
Peace for you
We offer it now it's late
You got so far
Away not only from our hold
But away to the world

Being too late is a curse
But regret is much wicker
Regret for unsaid words
Regret for things undone
And regret for not keeping someone close

Roses for you
Peace for you
We offer it now it's late
May these reach you
You who gone with the wind
May our words be heard
Telling you, "You did great!"

I'm really shocked about the news of his death. I really can't believe it. So I decided to write for him.

You really did great Jonghyun.

Hold on... Jonghyun died...? I only got to know this group recently, but I had no idea they lost a member. From the way this poem is written, especially in the beginning, it seems like he died by suicide. I need to look this up, but this is certainly shocking.

Well, this poem is beautiful, of course. There's the obvious tone of remorse and melancholy in your words, but there is also this gratitude for him and the things he has accomplished in his life. Many times when people we know die, we focus on their death alone. However, you are focusing on his life. I really loved that about this poem.

May he rest in peace. You have done him a great service through your writing. ^ ^
