To Another 15th October Person

Aku memaafkan diriku sendiri,
aku memaafkan diriku yang mencintai kamu bahkan ketika aku sama sekali belum mengenal namamu dengan persis,
aku memaafkan ketidakberdayaanku yang tidak melakukan hal besar seperti langsung menghubungimu,
aku memaafkan waktu-waktu dimana aku membabi buta ingin segera bersama denganmu,
aku memaafkan diriku di waktu aku membayangkan dirimu hanyalah milikku sepenuhnya,

Aku menunggumu dengan segenap rasa siap dan dewasa yang terus kuasah,
aku menunggumu dengan rasa sabar meski rasanya tidak berujung,
aku menunggumu dengan ketabahan yang tidak akan pernah bisa dimiliki orang lain yang mungkin sama besarnya mengharapkanmu bisa dimiliki,

Aku mencintai kamu duhai pujaan hatiku,
aku mencintai kamu wahai jiwa indah yang aku jaga sebaik-baiknya dalam doa dan Dzat Sang Maha Cinta,
tanpa sedikitpun mengesampingkan cinta-Nya yang jadi muara dimana aku bisa menyebutmu cinta.

Once I have a best uncle in the world. He save me from my inner child wound, my first childhood trauma. He stay, kept being there in my every ups and downsfall. He give me roof over my head, right into his car, to always carry me away from their home.

Then I got a new mom, second mom after mama. I call her ibu, and of course not in biological way. She came into my life during darkest time, she pulled me outta dark. She lends me new breath, re-shaping new life, to not mirroring their lifetime jerks. She once compliment my writing, over and over again. I start to grow new strong esteem to write more beautiful ever since. She show me how boring, also how much love worth in very stable and healthy way between two person. Strong, simple, but nurturing each other.

Then you ;) just pull me, pull me hard! I'm not a quick person who impulsively saying you're the love of my life. We've been in ten years plus on these same circle. Writing, a simple one, says who? If you won't save me like my beloved uncle, just maybe: would you be my reason to stay the city? To stop all those repeatedly shits cycle and how I always seek for help?
