Love in Belief
(Kim So Hyun)
I believe that love stays.
Even when it leaves the room.
Even when it moves far away,
or forgets to call back.
I believe that waiting is love.
Not the desperate kind—
but the quiet kind,
like sitting by the window with the lights off,
just in case someone comes home.
I believe you’ll come back to me.
That someday,
we’ll laugh again under the same sky,
and nothing will have changed
except how much I’ve missed you.
I believe love is a lighthouse.
Even in the roughest storm,
it doesn’t blink.
It just stands there, glowing,
hoping you find your way by the light it leaves on.
I believe in the thread between us.
Even when it stretches too thin to see,
even when the wind tries to snap it,
I think it holds.
I think it always will.
I believe that time is patient,
if love is true.
That it waits behind every clock face,
every calendar square,
every train station goodbye.
I believe you still hear me,
even when I say nothing.
Even in the long silences.
Especially then.
I believe the stars keep secrets.
That they watched us fall in love
and promised not to forget.
So even if we’re far apart,
we’ll always live in the same sky.
I believe in fairy tale endings.
Not the ones with castles,
but the ones where two people meet again
after everything tried to pull them apart—
and they just know.
I believe that if I hold on,
you’ll feel it.
Like a beacon around your wrist,
pulling you gently home.
I believe in promises.
Even if I’m the only one
still whispering them into the dark.
Because love—
if it’s real—
doesn’t end.
It just waits.
