Aku berharap, pelukan hangat yang menyambutku dengan tulus. Matamu yang mampu menatap wajahku. Elusan telapakmu diatas kepalaku. Pegangan tanganmu yang halus. Kata-katamu yang memanggil namaku.

Aku berharap, percaya dirimu. Mataku yang mampu menatap wajahmu. Tanganku yang merangkul pundakmu. Memegang tanganku yang penuh luka. Mendengarmu memanggil namaku.

Aku berharap, percaya diriku.

Aku berharap, percaya diriku dalam hidupmu. Punya rasa bahagia ketika melihatku.

Kekasih, Sahabat, Teman, Orang Asing, Kamu. Bukan hanya kamu, orang lain, dan diriku sendiri. Agar percaya kepada kalian semua. Semoga gemerlap hidupku dapat memasang kelip di antara hidupmu yang sudah hancur dan yang sudah terakit kembali.
