The Following - Korbankan Cinta!

I remember writing about how love requires sacrifices, and it could be love itself to be sacrificed.
"Cinta memerlukan pengorbanan"."Apa yang kau korbankan?"."Cintaku".

Something like that.
Recently I watched the first few episodes of The Following, a new TV series running its first season this year. The main 'hero', he actually sacrificed his own love to give chance to his love(lover) to start a new life past him. In reality, both suffer from it, but for now he stick to his decision. He is struggling with it though.

Oh, I found a song that really fits him, and many people, somehow.

Zahir Tak Terucap - Nash
Nyata bukan khayalan
Apa yang aku alami
Kau menjelma setelah menghilang
Kini berdiri di lamanku

Teramat getir keadaan ini
Nak kubiarkan tak sampai rasa di hati
Andai kusambut itu bererti
Berdosanya diriku ini

Aku terpaksa kuburkan
Walaupun kasihku ada
Harus kuterima hakikat
Dia masih memerlukanmu

Nyata bukannya khayalan
Apa yang aku alami
Kau menjelma setelah menghilang
Mengharap suatu yang tak mungkin

Terbongkar kini
Yang dulu terkunci
Namun semua itu
Sudah tak bererti
Silapnya kita saling memendam
Sukar meramal perasaan

Aku sememangnya ada
Menyimpan kasih padamu
Cuma zahir tak terucap
Kerna dibayang rasa sangsi

side note:
Auron used to fall in love with Lulu before something happen and he left the island, only to become one of the strongest warrior in land.
Auron's mentor, the late Panglima used to 'break open the dam' witnessed by Auron and few of his followers, which shamed most of them eternally. That's why he prevented Awang from doing the same.
'Break open the dam' ritual. The recipient need large enough container/heart to receive it, she must be ready for it.
