(p.s. before you read this letter, here’s a little suggestion: listen to this song while you read it!)

hey love,
two months have passed, and here i am — still by your side, still amazed at how gently and easily you’ve become part of my life. i want you to know how grateful i am for every small thing: the way you listen, the silly little moments we share, and how you remind me that love doesn’t have to be complicated to be true. you taught me that love can be easy and joyful, and that lesson has made every day feel softer and brighter.
there’s a song — “Bergema Sampai Selamanya” by Nadhif — that’s been stuck in my head lately. i’ve never really placed anyone in a song before, not even you, because songs to me have always been just… songs. but this one is different. the way Nadhif describes shouting a name by the lake and hearing it echo endlessly feels like us: simple moments that somehow linger longer than they should, stretching far beyond themselves.
what touches me most is how the song reminds us that everything in this world has an ending — even the brightest stars eventually burn out, even the universe itself will one day fall silent. and yet, instead of making that thought sad, it makes the present feel even more precious. it’s about savoring what we have now, letting the joy of today echo deep enough to be remembered, even if “forever” doesn’t really exist. and in those moments, talking with you is always light, and being with you makes me happiest.
that’s why i want us to keep enjoying the days like this — simple, warm, and unhurried — until that “forever” finally runs out. for now, i’m happy to stay in these moments with you, one day at a time.
I love you, sayang… until the day the world allows our togetherness to last.
always yours,
Aluna
