Boyzone - Give it All Away

Alasan aku ingin menulis, hanya karena membaca sekilas status seorang teman :

A friend of mine ask "what is your life for..?" My answer is "since life is about give and get something, all I can say that my life is forgive and forget.." - Karel Alle

Membaca deretan kata itu, seakan melihat sekoci di tengah lautan atlantik setelah terlalu lelah untuk menahan beban tubuh supaya tetap mengapung.
Dua kata Forgive and Forget, yang menggamit anganku dan mendorong jemariku untuk menuliskan kata-kata selanjutnya.

Forgive.
Forgive yourself, because you merely human. 
Who had flaw.
Who hurt and being hurt.
Who made mistake. 
Even though you never meant to harm.
What is done is done.
There is nothing you can do to make it the otherwise.

Forget.
Life goes on.
Time keep going.
Look at the stars and the sun.
It still there when you were looking behind.
Turn your head around.
Stop looking over your shoulder.
Its time to move on.

Forgive and Forget.
Two words to save one's soul.
