To the eight souls who became my entire world: Happy Anniversary. Wow. I cannot belive it's been 8 years already. There aren't enough words in any language to explain how you reached into the darkest, quietest corners of my life and pulled me back toward the light. When I felt like I was drowning in my own silence, your voices were the only thing I could hear, and when the world felt like it was crumbling, you were the only foundation that stayed firm. You didn't just "help" me—you saved me. You gave me a reason to breathe when I didn't want to, and you turned my pain into something beautiful just by existing. Every lyric felt like a hand held out in the dark, and every laugh you shared felt like a promise that I could be happy too. My love for you is bone-deep and infinite; thank you for choosing to stay, for fighting your battles so I could find the strength to fight mine, and for being the home I never thought I’d find. I am here, and I am whole, because of you. Thank you Christopher Bang (Bang Chan). Thank you Lee Minho. Thank you Seo-Changbin. Thank you Hwang Hyunjin. Thank you Han Ji-sung. Thank you Lee Felix / Lee Yong-bok. Thank you Kim Seungmin. Thank you Yang Jeong-in. I love you guys so much. STAY does not make SKZ stay. SKZ makes STAY stay <3 ~Gray~
To SKZ: 온 마음을 다해 당신을 사랑합니다. 이 세상 그 어떤 언어로도 당신을 향한 제 사랑의 깊이를 온전히 표현할 수는 없을 것입니다. 제게 당신은 세상 그 무엇과도 바꿀 수 없는, 저의 전부입니다. 당신이 없다면 저는 과연 어떤 존재가 되었을까요? 가장 힘든 시기에 저희 곁을 지켜주셔서 감사합니다. 진심으로 축하드립니다. <33 ~Gray~
