Dear You

It was back then in summer 2013 when I first met you. The first time I saw you smiled. A treacherous smile. We didn't know each other at that time. I have thought that you were cute but you had awkward personality on the other hand. However, that was okay anyway. I supposed we couldn't get along because there was no way for you to recognize my existence. I only wished we could be friends someday.

Very fortunate for us that few years after, we're being friends. We were so close. It was almost too good to be true. Was it lucky for me to be friends with you or was it lucky for you to be friends with me? What did you think? To be honest I didn't know the answer. I guess we were both just too lucky to have each other.

I did know few of simple and unimportant things about you. Your unique accent, which noone could ever pronounce correctly. The kind of candy that you liked, which I always stared at in the supermarket whenever I found those rainbow-colored candies. The brand of shoes and slippers that you wore, what genre of movie that you disliked the most, until what precise time you went to sleep and what precise time you woke up in the morning. I also found out an unexpectable news, that you also didn't really like surprise. Well, actually it could be considered that you hated it. You were the very first person in my entire life who hated surprise.

I still remembered that good old time when I knew nothing about that mall and you recommended me that cozy-looked restaurant. You said you once tried it and it was delicious. Here we went. So it was true what you said. Indeed it was nice. You usually avoided when I pictured you with my cellphone. I had to try so many times until I got your face framed in my screen. You usually rejected few times until you were willing to take wefies with me. On the contrary, I was much of a fan in taking selfies. You said, it wasn't very important to take pictures. Whereas, for me, it was.

It must be said if you were very humorous, there wasn't a day gone by without I saw you smiling. You've been special and you will always be a special person. You had something which noone had, but you just never wanted to see it because you were too afraid of yourself.

You were like an ocean, which was deep and full of secrets. Only few divers who could reveal some parts of you, but they could never reveal every part of you. No matter how hard they craved. You made space with everyone else because you didn't want them knowing what exactly happened inside.

I thanked God everytime I remembered you, and I still thank Him until right now. Even if I have been given a chance to go back in time, I wouldn't change anything. I would cherish every moment we spent together. It didn't even matter whether it was good or bad, or how people often thought about you. You've always been good for me. You always would.
