Ours - Taylor Swift

Elevator buttons and morning air,
Strangers silence makes me wanna take the stairs.
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares,
But right now my time is theirs.
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves.
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you.

So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
and life makes love look hard.
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours.

You never know what people have up their sleeves,
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me.
Lurking in the shadows with their lipgloss smiles,
But I don't care.
Cause right now you're mine.
And you'll say

Don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
and life makes love look hard.
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours.

And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and
Your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in.
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you.

Cause I love the gap between your teeth
and I love the riddles that you speak.
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
Cause my heart is yours.

So don't your worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard. 

Don't worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours.

The Vow Under the Stars

Under the starry night sky of Jati Tujuh village while we're riding on a pick-up truck. I was sitting beside the driver and you were with the boys behind with the sky right above your head. Unlike you, I could only enjoy the twinkling stars from the window. Then my phone was vibrating. A text from you saying:

Under this stars I make a vow, to be with you as far as those light reach, as long as they shine, as pure as their twinkle.

I could only smile with unexplained feelings...................
( 12-05-2012 : the vow under the stars has been said) 

Psychologycal Test

This is a conversation I had with my partner at the workplace, Miss Kania. We were walking on the street while finding angkot to go home.

Miss K : Answer my question. If there's a basket of strawberries, how many strawberries are there on the basket?  
Me : Ummmm.. 20?
Miss K : 20? Oookay. Now you imagine an apple tree. How many apples are there on the tree?
Me: Ummmm.. 40 ?
Miss K : What will be the first thing you say to an alien when you meet him?
Me: Ummm.. well : 'Are you coming in peace?'
Miss K : Ahahahahaha, ok. The number of strawberries shows you how many times you're in a relationship before you get married.
Me: What? Noooo.. (disgusted face)
Miss K: The number of apples tells you your mental age.
Me: What? Do you mean I am 40 years old inside?
Miss K: And the thing you say to the alien is the thing you say when you meet an opposite gender (male). Seriously? 'Are you coming in peace?' Hahahaha.
Me: Well? Yeah, because most of them are not. (straight face)
Miss K: I got that test while listening to Big East. (a radio show performed by our favorite korean boyband, Tohoshinki/DBSK)
Me: Ah, I see.. .................-_________-"

You Say that I . . .

You're like traffic lights, give me a red to tell me when I have to stop and rest from all the troubles, give the yellow to remind me things I may forget, give a green to support me when I have to go to do something.

You're like a house, give me warm when it is cold, cool me when it is hot, make me comfortable, a place for me to rest, to be myself and to return..

You're like my jacket, be with me everywhere, protect me from harmful things and always fit for me..

I love u

(it is from you, and after that you said sorry for using weird simile :p)

Daun yang Jatuh Tak Pernah Membenci Angin

Aku baru saja membaca novel berjudul 'Daun yang Jatuh Tak Pernah Membenci Angin' karya Tere Liye. Judulnya lah yang mendorong hatiku untuk membeli novel ini. Aku merasa harus menguak sesuatu yang tersembunyi di balik judul tersebut. Ternyata benar, aku menemukan beberapa potongan perasaanku terselip dalam kata-kata sang penulis. Tentang kita dulu. Dan aku mengutipnya.


“Bahwa hidup harus menerima…penerimaan yang indah. Bahwa hidup harus mengerti…pengertian yang benar. Bahwa hidup harus memahami…pemahaman yang tulus. Tak peduli lewat apa penerimaan, pengertian, dan pemahaman itu datang. Tak masalah meski lewat kejadian yang sedih dan menyakitkan.”

“Tak ada yang perlu disesali. Tak ada yang perlu ditakuti. Biarkan dia jatuh sebagaimana mestinya. Biarkan angin merengkuhnya, membawanya pergi entah kemana. Dan kami akan mengerti, kami akan memahami…dan kami akan menerima.”

“Dia tidak mencintaiku. Itulah kesimpulan yang kupaksakan. Kesimpulan yang membuat luntur wajah menyenangkanku. Kesimpulan yang mengubah perangaiku. Mengubah semuanya. Tetapi malam ini justru aku mengatakan kalimat itu. Dengan sebuah pertanyaan iya dan tidak. Aku tak mengerti secepat ini pembicaraan menuju jantung permasalahan. Aku tak mengerti. Perasaaanku sudah tak tahan lagi. Pertanyaan itu meluncur saja tanpa bisa kucegah.”

“Orang yang memendam perasaan sering kali terjebak oleh hatinya sendiri. Sibuk merangkai semua kejadian di sekitarnya untuk membenarkan hatinya berharap. Sibuk menghubungkan banyak hal agar hatinya senang menimbun mimpi. Sehingga suatu ketika dia tidak tahu lagi mana simpul yang nyata dan mana simpul yang dusta. Aku juga dulu seperti itu…sibuk menduga-duga. Aku tak pernah tahu bahwa simpul itu nyata. Itu bukan dusta hatiku. Tapi mengapa kau tak pernah mengatakannya? Mengapa?”

“Kau membunuh setiap pucuk perasaan itu. Tumbuh satu langsung kaupangkas. Bersemai satu langsung kauinjak. Menyeruak satu langsung kau cabut tanpa ampun. Kau tak pernah memberikan kesempatan. Karena itu tak mungkin bagimu?”

“Dan tunas-tunas perasaanmu tak bisa kaupangkas lagi. Semakin kautikam, dia tumbuh dua kali lipatnya. Semakin kauinjak, helai daun barunya semakin banyak.”

 Pasrah. Menerima setiap kejadian dalam kehidupan dengan lapang dada. Itulah yang harus aku lakukan. Setelah itu barulah aku bisa memperbaiki hidup, memaafkan diri sendiri dan juga orang lain.
