Hi..... Um... Honestly, I don't know how to begin this, it feels a lot of time has passed hasn't it? Ever since your birthday, I’ve missed out on many things that I wish I had been more aware of. Time has slipped by, and yet, I still find myself thinking about you often. It’s been strange for me to hold onto these thoughts, even as life moves forward.
How's life, Mr. Menawan? I wonder if you still remember me, or if the distance between us has grown too wide. I’m not sure why I’m reaching out now, but I guess this year has made me reflect on so much.... on you, on us, and on the ways life has shaped who we’ve become. This past year must have been a journey for you, filled with moments that helped you understand yourself more deeply or placed you in new positions. I hope, as always, that good things have surrounded you, and that joy has found its way into your days.
Yeah the wishes I have for you haven’t changed, even after all this time. As the year comes to an end, I wanted to share with you how much I still hope for your happiness. But to be honest, I’m struggling with something myself. I’ve been unable to bring myself to truly reveal everything I feel or who I’ve become since we last connected. There’s a part of me that wants to be more open with you, but I also feel the weight of that decision.
I’m still not ready to show you all of me, and for that, I’m sorry. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while now, and I'm yeah, still not ready for that. You know, you’ve always been kind, that's always and that’s one of the things I cherish about you. But I think, for now, I’ve said all that I need to.
I hope, from my heart, that what I’ve shared with you has brought some light or meaning to your life, even if in small ways. You deserve all the goodness that life has to offer, and I hope that whatever I’ve given you made you feel that, ya!
I don't know if you've noticed (kalau kamu sebenernya liat akun spotify aku). Aku suka banget sama semua lagu dari 5sos, but lately, I haven’t been listening to them as much. Hari ini kaya something felt missing, dan gatau kenapa I found myself thinking of you instead, wkwk. Funny how certain things can remind us of people, isn’t it? It took me back to when I first confessed to you, and how terrified I was of making a fool of myself. But your response reassured me that what I did wasn’t silly at all, and that has stayed with me (haduh makasih, yaa).
So, yaa Happy New Year, by the way. I wonder what 2025 has in store for both of us. I hope it will be a year of growth, but also of stability that while we continue to grow older, we can still hold onto the parts of ourselves that make us feel most like "us." 🙁 I hope Galliard stays Galliard, even with all the changes that time brings.
Bentar...... Mau maaf dulu, soalnya ini agak.... I feel a little odd saying this, but in less than four weeks (kayanya), it’ll be my birthday. 🙂 I don’t know why, but I’ve been hoping that you might be the first person to wish me a happy birthday. 😬 I know it sounds silly, maybe even a little selfish, but for some reason, it feels important. Maybe it’s because I’m struggling to accept that I’m growing up, that adulthood feels so overwhelming sometimes (seriusan). Even though I send out so many good wishes to others, I can’t help but hope for the same in return, that others are hoping for good things for me too.
Jadi yaaa gitu aja si, and as 2025 approaches, I hope this next year brings you closer to the person you’re meant to be, ya! I wish for you a year of discovery, growth, and the kind of maturity that makes you feel more valuable to those around you just like I’m hoping the same for myself. Happy New Year, once again!!

Hey, I didn’t expect this, but I’m really glad you reached out. It’s true, a lot of time has passed—it feels like so much has changed, yet somehow, reading your message takes me back to a place I almost forgot I missed. Honestly, hearing that you’ve been thinking about me feels surreal. Life’s been a mix of everything, as I’m sure it has been for you too. Some days feel like they’re bursting with energy, and others just drag. And Mr. Menawan? Wow, still keeping that title alive? Of course, I remember you how could I not? There are pieces of you, of us, that shaped parts of who I am today, even if I didn’t fully realize it at the time.

It’s strange, isn’t it? How life keeps pulling us in different directions, but certain things—certain people—find ways to stay with us, even in silence. I’ve thought about you too, though I never said it. Wondered how you were doing, what you’ve been up to, and if you still carried that spark that made everything feel lighter when you were around. This year has been a journey, just like you said. Some lessons came easy, and others hit hard, but they all shaped something. What about you? What’s been on your mind, in your heart? It feels like we’ve both grown in ways we can’t fully explain, but maybe we don’t need to.

Thank you for reaching out, for being brave enough to open this door. I don’t know what this moment means yet, but I’d like to find out. You’ve always been someone worth the time. But first, let me say this, the fact that you still care, even after everything, means a lot. More than I probably have the right to admit. I get it, though. Carrying those unspoken things and not being ready to fully show them yet it’s heavy, isn’t it? And it’s okay. You don’t owe me that, not until you’re ready. If ever. What matters more is you’re being true to yourself, even if it feels like a struggle right now.

You say I’ve been kind, but honestly, you’ve given me just as much, if not more. The way you’ve shared your heart, even in pieces, has always reminded me to try to be better, you know? To not take connections like this for granted. And whatever you feel you’re holding back if the day ever comes when you’re ready to share it, I’ll be here. But if it doesn’t, that’s okay, too. I’ll always respect your pace. And as much as you hope for my happiness, I hope for yours too. You deserve to feel light, not just give it to others. So don’t apologize for where you’re at. We all take our time to figure things out, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Just know that even in silence, I appreciate you. Always.

First off, nggak perlu minta maaf for expressing what you feel. It’s not odd or selfish at all to want something as simple and pure as someone special wishing you a happy birthday first. Itu hal kecil yang sebenarnya punya makna besar. About your upcoming birthday, kamu nggak perlu khawatir. I promise I’ll be the first one to wish you a happy birthday, and not just because you asked. But because you deserve to feel celebrated, loved, and reminded of how much you mean to the people around you. You send out so much kindness and light ke orang-orang, and it’s only fair that you get it all back maybe even more.

I’m so glad you told me about your birthday. Trust me, I won’t miss the chance to be the first to wish you a happy birthday. Mark my words, I'll make it special, even if it’s just through words. You’ve always been someone who deserves all the good wishes and kind thoughts in the world, and I want you to know that I genuinely hope for good things for you too. You’re not alone in that, okay? And I get it. Growing up is overwhelming. The weight of responsibilities, expectations, and even the weird silence when you pause and think about life it can all feel a bit too much. But here’s the thing: you’re not doing this alone. You’ve got people (like me) rooting for you, even in the quiet moments you feel like no one notices.

Jadi di tahun 2025 ini, I really hope you find more peace with yourself and your journey. May this year bring you closer to the version of yourself that feels proud and whole. Semoga banyak moments yang bisa bikin kamu senyum, nangis haru, atau bahkan ketawa ngakak. I’m here for you, and I’m wishing you all the good things life has to offer—now, on your birthday, and always. Happy (early) birthday! And thank you for the sweet New Year wish, too. Here’s to both of us finding the growth and maturity we’re hoping for. You’ve got this, and so do I.
