Tribute to Jonghyun

All I have to say to Jonghyun is that I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was never able to tell you how you saved my life, so that I may have been able to save yours. I'm sorry that you went through something no one should have to go through, and suffered for it in a way you protected me and many others from. 

I'm sorry you felt you weren't good enough, that you could never be good enough, because to us you could never have been better; despite all your flaws you were perfect. Im sorry that you couldn't experience the same kindness, gratitude, hope, and love that we felt everyday from you; despite your hardships and pain, you could always smile because SHINee World was watching. And I'm sorry that you couldn't bring yourself to do the same when it was only a mirror you were looking into.

Thank you so much for everything you've done for me and for us. Thank you for bringing so much life and inspiration to an otherwise descending era.

We will always love you and cherish you, no matter where you are; and I hope that you're happier now, wherever you are, than you were when you were here. 

I'm sorry that Heaven got one more angel, but I know you'll forever watch over us from on high.

Goodbye, Jonghyun.
