Evil in Heels, Soft in Love

I couldn’t help but wonder…

Am I hard to love, or are they just too soft to stay?

People say things.

Like, “You’re not single because you’re not pretty.”

“You’re too pretty. Tapi juga terlalu banyak maunya.”

“You’re demanding, keras kepala, and… a little bit evil.”

Even my little sister once said, “You’re like… evil in heels.”

Lucu sih. Tapi agak nyelekit.

Yes, I admit I’m intense. I know what I want. I’m not gonna pretend to be clueless just to make someone else comfortable.

Tapi lucunya, waktu aku jatuh cinta… aku berubah total.

I become soft.

Kayak anak anjing kecil yang ngikut terus.

Kayak cewek yang tadinya fierce, tapi mendadak bucin.

I crave the small things digandeng di parkiran mall, dengerin cerita yang receh, nonton film bodoh sambil pelukan.

I’m not a black cat. I’m not a cold mysterious girl. I’m a puppy when I love someone.

Dumb, loyal, and ridiculously cute.

But somehow… it always ends the same.

Aku yang terluka. Aku yang merasa too much.

Karena ternyata banyak orang cuma suka “vibe”-ku, bukan aku.

So I gave up.

Not on love.

But on searching.

I stopped chasing something that didn’t want to be caught.

Sekarang aku duduk tenang.

I love myself. I heal. I glow.

Aku isi energi cintaku buat keluarga, temen, semesta, dan hal-hal kecil yang bikin hidupku tetap indah.

Tapi kalau nanti semesta kirim seseorang ke aku someone who doesn’t just want the good parts, but the messy ones too aku akan bilang:

“Okay. I’m open.”

Tapi kamu harus ngerti satu hal:

I’m not waiting to be loved.

I’m waiting for someone worthy to love me.

Because I’m not a challenge to conquer.

I’m a whole damn experience.

And babe, if you can’t handle the “evil in heels,” you don’t deserve the puppy behind them.
