I miss Taehyung. I miss the boy who loves jazz and grew up learning to play the saxophone. I can see him now. Little Taehyung, carrying a bulky saxophone around, smelling of strawberries, cheeks red but smiling, always, always smiling.+

I miss the young man he grew up into who makes music as one offers prayer. His songs are a testament to the reverence and love he has for the world and those around him. I miss seeing him speak about his craft and his creative process and what moves him.+

I miss watching him create. He's a true artist, a true musician, he must create, he must always be making. A song, a melody, a shirt, a photograph, a painting. A born artistic genius.+

I miss how he starves us of selcas but when he posts, they are usually something like this and how much they make us laugh and huff in frustration but also in incredible, immense fondness.+

He said he'd like to be remembered as the playful one. We change over time, but some parts of us survive. He's still the same. He grew up so well. I miss listening to him speak.+

I miss this man too, this beautiful, lovely man singing about being in love forever. I miss him sharing his favorite music with us.+

I miss seeing him making and singing along to his own songs. This one is easy. When I miss his voice, I return to his songs. There's so much of himself in there. And it's all good, tender, pretty things.+

And I miss the music we don't have yet. The songs he still keeps with him, the melodies in his head we haven't heard yet, the lyrics he is yet to write.+

I miss this Taehyung as well, running along with Yeontan in his arms. I always imagine him like a proud, fond dad whenever he shares Tannie moments with us. I miss Tannie too.+

I miss seeing him show off his growth as a vocalist. We are all still collectively thinking about the run he makes here.+

I miss his little giggles and smiles as he sees our love on Weverse. We all miss that notification immensely.+

And he's funny. I miss laughing because of him because laughter then seems so so right. And heals so so well.+

I miss seeing him realize how much he is loved, how many of us are there who absolutely adore each and every part of him.+

I miss all of him everyday, but not a day goes by when I am not glad to be a part of this beautiful journey with him. I get to say that I watched Kim Taehyung grow up into a beautiful, strong, talented man and musician. What an honor. What an incredible honor to have known him.
