The Letter

Описание: I never knew you, but I knew your name
It drifted through rooms like a half-healed pain
They said you had friends, said you lit up the place
I asked one of them why, she said, “God only knows,” and looked away

They talk about you like a photograph
Tall and thin, blue eyes—as if that’s the math
As if beauty makes the ending strange
As if being “ideal” should’ve kept you safe

Your family cried, your friends came undone
Some people made it about themselves, some about the gun
But all I see is a question that never had rest
Could you have lived without the one thing you thought you needed best?

I imagine a life you never got to try
A job you’d love, a partner by your side
Little hands, a house with open doors
But would those dreams have quieted the ache you wore?

Forty years passed, the world’s rearranged
Some things got better, some just learned new names
There’s fires we breathe now, there’s wars on the screen
At least you didn’t have to live through all these in-betweens

They say time explains, but time just shows
How little we ever really know
Pain doesn’t need permission or proof
It just asks for somewhere to move

I won’t pretend I hold the truth
Or that staying is always something you can choose
I see you standing at the edge of then
Trying to survive what you were already in

I understand, or close enough to say
You weren’t weak, you weren’t wrong, you weren’t broken that day
If peace was the reason you reached for the light
I won’t call it a failure—I’ll call it a fight

I never knew you, but I speak your name
Not in anger, not in shame
Just this quiet grace I send to you
You didn’t do anything wrong
You really didn’t.
