what if

what if
i realized that i had been in love with you
the way you were in love with me

what if
i realized that my first love had been sitting there
right next to me
first grade of junior high

what if
i knew that those pink envelopes
i passed along to the prettiest girl in class
would hold promises made
to me

what if
i had been spared
all those years of loneliness
and feelings of unwantedness
because i had a boyfriend
in you

what if
i had never left this city
because you were in it
and it was good enough
already

what if
i could not be
the person
i am today

and i thank the Lord
for those days
when i didn't realize
that i
might have loved you
as much
as you had loved me
and held me dearly
in your mind

inginnya sih....

inginnya sih...

menjadi:

plester untuk lukamu
kompres untuk kepalamu
kipas untuk hari-hari panasmu
syal untuk hari-hari musim gugurmu
jaket untuk hari-hari musim dinginmu
topi yang menutupi garis rambutmu yang selalu kaubilang tambah menipis itu
deodoran yang membuatmu selalu berbau lezat setiap saat
laptop yang menemani hari-hari belajarmu
speaker yang memainkan lagu-lagu aneh kesukaanmu
dan buku-buku sejarah itu....

bahu tempatmu bersandar
seperti kala kau membasahinya dengan air matamu
handuk yang mengeringkan keringatmu
seperti setelah kau sibuk mengejar-ejar barang kecil yang bernama 'puck' itu
telinga tempatmu berkeluh
seperti malam-malam yang kauhabiskan bercerita tentang lukamu
suara yang membuatmu tersenyum
kala kaudengar kata-kata yang mencoba membuatmu percaya
bahwa kau
istimewa

aku ingin

menjadi

sahabat sejatimu

tapi tentu saja,
bahasa ini,
bukan bahasamu,
dan kamu,
tidak akan pernah memahami,
bahwa semua ini,
lebih dari sekedar,
kata-kata.

yang tak terkatakan

aku menyayangimu
seperti pemain akrobat meniti tali tanpa jaring pengaman
penuh bahaya

aku menyayangimu
seperti masokis yang menyayat diri
pedih yang dinantikan

aku menyayangimu
seperti penari reog memakan beling
mistis yang mengebaskan

aku menyayangimu
seperti cenayang memanggil hantu
horor yang diharapkan

aku menyayangimu
seperti kisah cinta perokok dan paru-parunya
kematian perlahan

aku menyayangimu

meskipun selalu ingin kulupakan

namun aku
masih
menyayangimu

ray of light

Kanggo kancaku sing lagi wae ngirimi aku e-mail :)

stalking

an arrow stuck in my heart
a chill went down my spine
pain washed up my being

realizing that you are no longer mine
and those eyes are not twinkling for me
no longer me you miss in the wee hours of night
it was not me you messaged good night

it was not me who tuck you good night
caressing your feverish head from far apart

and when you were lying there sick
it was not me you turned to

and i wonder why i need to see what is happening in your life
and wishing that i could be happy for you
as you are
moving on....
