a letter a fan wrote to mark on weverse; it's so beautiful i want everyone to read it too

"I thought we were currently enjoying a very pleasant voyage, why did I never think that you might want to swim?
Did i get too comfortable with our stable voyage?
You have always wanted to jump into the ocean,
Did I hold onto you for too long?
Perhaps, maybe I’ve actually know for a while
About how you’ll go away to swim one day
About how you’ll go away to search for that new place
I thought; one day if the day comes, i will definitely support you with a smile
But now facing it directly, turns out it kinda feels a little bit bitter, a little bit of a bummer
But still, I will respect and support you choice, and your journey.
Because from the moment I put myself into the voyage you’re in, I promised I would
But, I cant help but worry
I know I won’t dare to stop you from jumping into the sea, but,
The sea is very vast, very deep, very cold, very dark
All I can think about is the sea swallowing you, while you're still looking for a chance
As you go, your legs will give up, you will slowly gasping for air, your body will feel numb all over
But with the oxygen tank on your back, if you endure it all, you’ll be able to swim even to the depth of the ocean
And there, you’ll get to experience lots of new things, make a lot of new friends
On the way to that new place; you’re going to learn on your own about things I couldn’t give you in our boat
I know I am not good enough of a person,
I don’t have any confidence to swim with you,
I can’t help to send the sea to sleep [to calm it down] to make you swim comfortably
Thats why, I’ll be an island.
So when you swim and you get tired, I’ll let you stop by to catch a breath.
I don’t mean to say to come back to this island forever
I just want to be there, to be one of the many islands that you’ll meet on your way to find that new place
Maybe it’s a greed of mine; we might won’t see each other for quite a while, who knows
But even if that’s the case, I want to protect you in a way
I don't think the concept of “forever” will always stay in one shape
Didn’t we say to be together forever?
Don’t ever think you’re alone in your journey.
Of course the one who will be swimming is you; but I’ll keep the concept of 'forever’ with you in any form
That said, please promise me too
That you won’t push yourself too hard, that you will be careful
When the day comes when you finally reach that new place, promise me that you’ll invite me
Mark, Minhyung.
Can I even finish the journey I’m on without you?
To be really honest, I’m a little bit scared.
What if I lose you to the sea?
What if you lose yourself to the sea?
What if you meet a massive thunder or a big wave?
The list of worry keeps on growing,
The moment you’re going down the deck,
I’m scared, the fact you’re dissapearing from my side
But even so,
Because I am your island.
We don’t know how hard and difficult your journey might be
I wish for it to be safe and sound.
🌊⛵️
