I used to have the same sentiments:
Numbers and dates, anniversaries or birthdays...all were unimportant.
But 1000 days?
My dad would say "It's a decent piece of love!"
1000 days...of affection, of hope, of excitement, and of patient wait.
1000 days...of your found love... your soulmate.
1000 days...yes, of course, you should celebrate!

And a day like today?
Sunny morning, mellow noon, hazy soft dusk...
somehow reminds me of YOU plus ...
the meaning of existence.

We were born, not by our choice.
But do we exist ... by choice?
Ah, it depends...on our internal voice.

I frequently ponder why I exist ... this life ... given by my parents ... be it with love or hate.
I exist ... because I treasure the chances ... casted upon me.

A chance,
To see the sunlight ... in soft yellow dawn.
To hear the rooster crowing ... a new day is beginning.
To sip from a cup of warm jasmin tea, at night ... while listening to my father's spontaneous mandolin inspiration, in rare occasions.
To gaze upon the sky ... and see ... billions twinkles ... of stars that died and stars that were just born.
To look into my lover's eyes ... and see ... the most beautiful reflection (according to his words).
To call a friend in jammed freeway traffic ... and hear the complaints ... that I do not give her care.
Or to laugh at the silliest facial expresion ... that a little girl makes when she stares at me in church.

A chance,
To know you, your music, and your beloved Blingers
To be appreciative of the person you were.
To recognize the kind of passion and hardwork required...to be a successful boyband in K-pop.
To see the magnitude of positive force ... that your cheerful smiles brought ... upon millions.
To witness and sense... the pain...that one's passing could generate.

Really, a chance,
To understand that this world... full of 7,652,659,800 plus people ... can still be a lonely place for soooo many.
To be cognizant of the struggles that those around me may have.
To realize what desperation feels like ... when I tried my hardess ... to cheer up a person.

And, then, a chance,
To still try ... my hardest ... to cheer up that person ... as you did.

A day like today, Jjong...
I really want to respectfully ask:
Give me your strength
Give me your sensitive emotions
Give me your artistic talents
Give me your powerful smiles
Give me your heartwarming and candid, soft-spoken voice
And, also, give me a little of your spotlight

So that I can, again, try my hardest ...
To be fine
To lead a meaningful and compassionate life
To help Blingers keep your name alive
To be the strength, the encouragement, and the positive reinforcement ... for those millions ... of your beloved.

A day like today, Jjong..
I really wish ... that you are fine ... sitting up there in heaven ... smiling down at Earth ... telling your dearest Blingers that you wish them fine.

Breeze ❤️

Oh yeah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
1, 2, 3, another day quickly passes
1, 2, 3, tomorrow is already almost here
Pressing down on my shoulders,
pinning down the shadows
I need a place to comfortably rest

You and I
Even if it wasn't back then, you and I
We would've definitely met some time
A lot of time has passed
But things aren't different from the beginning
It's still the same, I'm a blessed person

Hug me, lean on my shoulder
Have strong trust in me, you know that saying?
I know even though you don't say it
That is very touching but
Please tell me even if you know

Time is so fast
I used to be so awkward but I changed
It's so funny
I used to freak out about small mistakes
But the one who smiled and waited for me was you
I'm so lucky

You and I
Even if it wasn't back then, you and I
We would've definitely met some time
A lot of time has passed
But things aren't different from the beginning
It's still the same, I'm a blessed person

Hug me, lean on my shoulder
Have strong trust in me, you know that saying?
I know even though you don't say it
That is very touching but
Please tell me even if you know

I always said I didn't care about numbers or dates
Like birthdays or anniversaries
But today, anyone can see, it's a day to celebrate
It's true

Hug me, lean on my shoulder
Have strong trust in me, you know that saying?
I know even though you don't say it
That is very touching but
Tell me you believe in me
