You are my first love myfamily, my nakama, ma famille. You, with your dark hair and tired eyes, and your smile Once, I begged you to 'have a mustache, Daddy! Now I love the way you look, just as you are. You come to wake me up in the mornings and I throw pillows, shriek, fake sleep. Underneath it all, I'm glad you're still coming even though I should just get an alarm clock, I should just wake up earlier, I should just go to bed earlier. Sometimes you smile at me with this old smile, as if you're remembering something far away. Your own childhood, perhaps? There's a look in those eyes of yours that are brown with flecks of green and gold, one that makes me blush and fidget and beam because it says 'You're my daughter and I'm proud'. Sometimes your shoulders stoop with the weight of our family. You bring in the cash, and I respect you for that. For not complaining. For not lashing out. For not getting mad at us. Instead, you fall asleep during the movies we watch. You take walks with us. You cook for us. Little by little, you pass parts of yourself onto us.I love drawing, Bimo enjoys organizing something, Uri loves sports.We cook together, play together, hang out together. I don't mind.You're my first love,my dad, and you're a good dad too.. You hold my hand when I feel sick, listen but don't judge. Raspberry me when I wish wish wish you wouldn't, laugh at and with me because choosing one is too hard. You tell bad jokes and make worse puns, like to work with wood, take your stress away by cooking and sleep on the couch too much. Sometimes you're completely oblivious, other times you choose to look the other way and I appreciate that. You, my dad, are more than just that. You are my first love. And I love you, for the reasons above and more:")

Waktu aku kecil Dunia adalah kubus empat belas inci Yang menayangkan gambar warna-warni Penuh imajinasi Waktu aku kecil Dunia adalah permen loli warna pelangi Merah jingga kuning hijau biru nila ungu menari Rasanya manis seperti senyum mentari Waktu aku kecil Dunia adalah bulir-bulir air hujan Yang jatuh mengaliri selokan Disambut riang tawa kawan-kawan Waktu aku kecil Dunia adalah daun-daun kering Tertiup angin ketika fajar menyingsing Lalu berputar seperti gasing Waktu aku kecil Apalah arti politik dan ekonomi Tak mengerti sengketa dan perang sana-sini Yang aku mau boneka Barbie! Sekarang.. Waktu dan Aku sudah tidak kecil lagi Waktu tambah berisi Aku bertambah tinggi Harus lalui gejolak emosi Tak bisa bicara seenak hati Harus menyadari Banyak tanggung jawab masih menanti Waktu.. maukah berputar bersamaku? Biarkan angin bertiup Kembali ke masa itu
