kenangan

malam menjelang

lampu mulai berkelap-kelip meramaikan gelap

memberi setitik cahaya di kegelapan yang melingkupi

udara dingin tidak menjadi halangan untuk menikmati sedikit tarian cahaya yang memikat mata

hmm…rasanya nikmat untuk duduk diam, memandang, dan sedikit berkontemplasi

apa yang bisa dipikirkan oleh segumpal otak yang tak sempurna ini?

rasanya aku tahu..sedikit memori tentang masa lalu

masa lalu yang menyenangkan atau tidak menyenangkan

keduanya pasti akan selalu indah untuk dikenang

saat tertawa bersama kawan-kawan di pojok gedung kampus

saat mendapat amarah orang tua karena bersikap membangkang

saat bersemu ketika bertemu dengan sang pujaan hati…

aah..semua itu terlalu indah untuk dilupakan…

masa lalu harus tetap hidup, masa lalu harus tetap ada

hidup dalam memori, dalam kenangan, dalam pikiran, atau apalah itu namanya

dear love,

i may not say it clearly in front of you so that you can hear it with your ears

i may not have the guts to create such a romantic atmosphere when I’m near you

i may be the most filthy coward in this whole universe of yours

but, i want to write something here clearly, that I Love You…

i never intended to keep it for myself and not letting you know it…

but i want you to find your way to the path that i built

the path is leading you directly to me…

the only matter is, do you dare to follow the path to come and find me?

Love Letters of The Greats

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us – I can live only wholly with you or not at all – Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits – Yes, unhappily it must be so – You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart – never – never – Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life – Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men (women) – At my age I need a steady, quiet life – can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day – therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once – Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together – Be calm – love me – today – yesterday – what tearful longings for you – you – you – my life – my all – farewell. Oh continue to love me – never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours
