I'm Not the One You Want To Lose.


I knew it all along.
I'm the one you want to lose.
But time changes and life goes on.
You're looking back at me now.

Mine is so familiar to you.
Translate my mind,
And look deeper.
What do you find?

We are now breathing together.
Inhaling the same air but in a different room.
You are now breathing my memory,
And I'm watching you slowly appear.

Running away from reality.
Let go off it.
Let your body blends with the wind.
Let your body blends with my colors.

We just started these.
Smile for me now,
And mark my words.
That I'm the one you don't want to lose.

Tornado.

I've been there,
And done that.
I loved them once,
And I looked dead to them.

I've been there and other places.
Where I wasted my tears a lot.
Where I threw my self-esteem up in the air.
Where I gambled for nothing.

That man who died because of drugs,
That crazy man who has been loving me for almost nine years,
That man who has a beautiful daughter,
That man who has been singing for a band,
That man who has been working for national security,
That man who is good at drawing something,
That man who left me for another woman after I gave him everything and accompanied him for years,
That man who has no initiative to ask my condition,
That man who has his own world and does not want to socialize,
That man who has been my best friend,
I loved them.

I still care.
I will not erase them.
My memories of them won't die.
I loved them once and I respect them until now.

It wasn't only their faults.
My faults too.
Why I didn't understand them? Why I can't love them like they did?
Why did I win my ego that day?

Now, you.
Yes, you.
Can you?
Will you?

Do you vow to love me and care for me as long as you can?
Will you accept me with all of my faults and strenghts?
Will you understand what I want and what I need?
Will you accept me to be no other than myself?

I will be your best friend, your brother or your sister and your mother.
I will share you my heart and support you through the good times and the bad.
I will treat you with respect.
I will be a faithful companion for you and I will be patient with you and with myself.

Could you handle me?
Could you handle mine?

Trolling.

Untuk kamu,
Yang hanya dapat kucintai dari jauh.
Aku bukanlah wanita munafik,
Tetapi aku sedang belajar untuk ikhlas.

Untuk kamu,
Yang sedang mendekap wanita pujaanmu.
Aku tidak cemburu padanya.
Aku bahagia kamu bersamanya.

Lebih baik aku kehilangan kamu,
Daripada melihatmu kesakitan bersamaku.
Lebih baik aku melihatmu berbahagia bersama orang lain,
Daripada melihatmu sakit mempertahankan kita.

Kamu tahu perasaanku.
Aku masih sangat merindukanmu walau kamu sedang tidur di dalam pelukanku.
Dan melihatmu berjalan setegap sekarang,
Betapa bahagianya aku melihat jerih payahku dan didikan dulu membuahkan hasil.

Untuk kamu,
Yang menghancurkan hidupku dulu,
Yang menyakitiku dengan perlakuan kasarmu,
Selamat, atas bahagiamu.

Every Little Heart Beat of Mine Is Yours.


I've been running on an empty boulevard for days.
Searching, for nothing.
I couldn't find our memories,
I couldn't find you.

I've been standing in the light for days,
Singing, for someone.
Humming, for something.
Waiting, for nothing.

I keep my mouth shut.
You won't find me here.
I keep my eyes close.
You won't see me there.

I don't understand.
I don't know.
It was you all along.
It's us.

I can see you from here so clearly.
But I won't reveal myself to you.
If you're asking why,
Because I am getting the best of you now.

I will take a good care of you.
I will handle you.
I will love you.
From a distance.

This War Is Yours.


Think again, Atilla.
What will you do if it happens?
You won't say a word.
You love him.

I know that he could turn you out into a better person.
He could make you smile.
He has almost everything that you always want.
He has that eyes.

But would you face the same old shit like you did back then?
Could he be like one of us?
Could you guarantee your future with him?
Would you face the differences one more time?

You have to think more than twice, Atilla.
You don't want to fail yourself, don't you?
Think what's best for you first.
Think about your heart.

I know that you believe miracle does exist.
I know that you believe he would turn himself in for you.
I know that you love to gamble for your future.
But could you take the risk?

I won't see you cry like that again, Atilla.
You were hurt that days.
You were full of regrets.
Please, be careful for the next step you'll take.

I believe in you.
I believe you are a woman with your words.
I believe you are stronger than ever.
But remember, your heart is not that strong to face this once again.

An Accidental Memory of You.


Gue kesakitan sendiri, Ri.
Pas gue jenguk lo sama Aji.
Gue nggak bisa liat lo, apalagi nyentuh lo.
I can't believe that you were gone.

I didn't get what I deserved, Ri, untuk beberapa tahun terakhir ini. Nggak adil banget kalo gue harus dipisahin sama lo dengan cara yang kayak begini. Nggak adil banget gue gak ngurusin lo saat-saat itu, padahal lo dulu yang ngurusin gue. Nggak adil banget gue nggak sempet punya waktu buat ngobrol sama lo. Gue nggak punya waktu buat minta maaf sama lo. Gue nggak punya waktu untuk bilang kalo gue sayang banget sama lo.

Ngeliat nama lo di batu nisan lo bikin gue salah tingkah. Gue mau nangis banget. But someone told me, kalo gue nangis, gue akan ngeberatin lo. Gue juga nggak mau bikin lo ngerasa gagal, karena lo pernah bilang sama gue kalo gue nangis karena lo, berarti lo gagal jagain gue. Tapi gue nggak bisa bohong. Gue sedih banget, gue kecewa sama keadaan kita waktu itu, gue marah. Semua nyampur jadi satu dan gue nggak tau harus ngeluarin perasaan itu dengan cara apa. Gue kangen banget sama lo, Ri. Sumpah.

Gue kangen digalakin sama lo, Ri. Walopun pas lo ngegalakin gue, gue kesel banget. Gue kangen sama sifat lo yang cuek tapi diem-diem meratiin gue. Gue kangen sama muka judes lo kalo lo jemput gue ke rumah buat dibawa ke rumah lo. Gue kangen sama tangan lo yang pernah nonjok hidung gue sampe berdarah. Gue kangen sama jidat lo yang sering gue tepok. Gue kangen banget.

Inget nggak, pas kita di Puncak? Kita mau pulang, dan pas gue lagi beresin baju dan barang-barang gue, lo tolak pinggang depan gue dan bawelin gue?

"Jaket udah? Alat mandi udah? Hairdryer? Charger? Cincin? Kalung? Harga diri udah?"

Gue cuma iya-iya aja dan lo yang ngingetin gue akan semua barang-barang gue. Pas udah di mobil, lo baru inget kalo jaket sama baju kotor lo ketinggalan. Inget juga nggak, yang lo telepon gue minta gue nemenin lo ngambil ATM? Gue cuma pake kaos sama celana pendek dan cuma bawa dompet, rokok sama handphone. Dan ternyata lo ngambil ATM ke Dago Atas, Bandung. Sumpah, itu nggak jelas banget.

Inget juga nggak, yang lo marahin gue gara-gara gue bolos sekolah soalnya kemarennya kita pergi ampe pagi? Lo telepon ke rumah gue jam 7 pagi dan bunda bilang gue belom bangun. Jam 9 pagi lo nyamperin gue ke rumah, ngebuka kasar pintu kamar gue, narik selimut gue, nyentil hidung gue biar gue bangun.

"Siapa yang nyuruh lo bolos? Gue udah bilang nggak ada bolos-bolosan"

Lo nyecer gue lama banget sampe akhirnya gue minta maaf. Tiba-tiba lo keluar dari kamar gue, turun ke bawah dan balik-balik bawa es krim.

"Nih buat lo. Lain kali nggak ada bolos-bolos. Kalo tau bolos nggak ada pergi-pergi lagi sampe pagi"

Terus lo pulang. Dan bunda bilang sama gue kalo lo minta maaf sama dia karena gue bolos. Dan gue sama bunda ujung-ujungnya cuma ngetawain lo. Lo juga pernah marah sama gue gara-gara gue nggak keluar dari kamar lo seharian dan cuma main GTA San Andreas. Lo marah gara-gara gue udah dibikinin mie rebus buat makan siang tapi nggak gue makan, malah dimakan sama Dida. Lo ngediemin gue waktu itu, sampe akhirnya lo diem-diem bikinin gw chicken nugget terus nyuruh Dida anterin makanannya ke kamar terus suapin gue makan.

Inget juga nggak, yang gue marahin lo gara-gara mobil lo nggak lo cuci dua minggu? Dan banyak baju kotor di mobil lo? Gue cecer lo padahal lo lagi sarapan sambil baca koran waktu itu. Gue kesel lo nggak ngeliat muka gue, malah anteng baca koran. Gue juga bilang sama lo, baju cuci sendiri karena saking keselnya. Pas lo selesai makan, lo nyamperin gue, nyium jidat gue terus lo ke mobil nurunin baju-baju kotor dan lo cuci sendiri, padahal lo nggak ngerti cara nyuci baju itu gimana. Akhirnya gue juga yang ngerjain. Dan pas lo mau pergi cuci mobil, gue nggak ngebolehin lo dan gue nyuruh lo cuci mobil sendiri. Lo nurut aja gitu, akhirnya nyuci sendiri.

Dan gue inget banget pas lo nemuin gue diem-diem ke rumah enek jam 2 pagi sama Mario. Lo meluk gue kenceng banget sampe akhirnya kita nangis bareng. Lo nanya gue apa kabar, lo tanya kenapa tangan gue luka, lo nanya kenapa gue jadi segede mesjid, lo nanya kenapa sekarang gue jadi nggak manja, lo nanya kenapa gue jadi sok imut. Mario sampe terharu.

And the sweetest moment I had with you,
Pas lo nge-handle gue pas enek ninggalin kita semua. Lo yang dorongin kursi roda gue, lo yang nemenin gue seharian di kamar, lo yang ambilin gue makan, lo yang nyuapin gue, lo yang rutin ngasih gue vitamin, lo yang handle gue pas gue terapi jalan. Sampe akhirnya pas lo nyuapin gue dan gue nolak makan terus-terusan, lo nangis.

"Anissa, tolong jangan sakitin gue lagi. Ngeliat lo drop ampe begini itu nyakitin gue, Sa. Gue mohon, makan. Gue nggak mau lo sakit. Tolong, jangan bikin gue gagal jagain lo"

Akhirnya kita nangis berdua dan akhirnya gue makan walopun sedikit. Dan lo cerita sama Mario pas lo ninggalin gue sebentar buat naro piring kotor di dapur.

"Yo, gue ga tega liat dia, Yo. Gue sedih banget. Gue nggak nyangka bakal liat dia duduk di kursi roda dan gue yang dorong kursi rodanya. Gue nggak nyangka bakal ngeliat dia seancur ini. Tapi cuma gue yang bisa handle dia, karena gue tau dia gimana. Gue ga tega, Yo. Gue ngerasa gagal jagain dia"

Tapi Mario nguatin lo dengan bilang lo nggak gagal, lo udah bener. Anissa emang butuh waktu buat settle down, dan lo yang harus nemenin Anissa sampe dia pulih. Karena kaya kata lo, cuma lo yang bisa handle Anissa dan Anissa butuh lo banget untuk semua ini. Mario bener, Ri. Gue butuh lo banget.

Sampe akhirnya lo ngilang dari hidup gue, Ri. Cuma kenangan-kenangan doang yang lo tinggalin. Gue ga percaya orang kaya lo dipanggil Tuhan. Dan gue baru sadar pas gue balik dari tempat lo, gue itu masih butuh figur lo di hidup gue. Dan gue sadar, figur lo harus digantiin sama orang lain.

I love you so much, man.
Maaf ya kemaren gue nggak lama-lama.
Nggak kuat gue.
I love you, brother.
I'll be good.

Waterfall.

Dear Skywalker,
You are so different now.
You conquered the world.
And yes, I admire you so much.

You believe that those hard times will give you a reward.
It did.
Now, you are fully awake.
You are the real you now.

I knew it right from the start.
You will have your own kingdom.
You will rule your body and your soul.
You will pass.

I enjoy the time when we were talking.
When I listened to your stories.
When we laughed.
I felt you into your bones.

I sense something in you.
Fear and that guilty feelings.
But you are proud of yourself.
You injected faith to your body.

Dear Skywalker,
Rule the sky and the entire world.
I know that you are someone who can be proud of.
Now go make some magic.

Keepers of the Faith.


Why are you getting closer?
Why are you here?
What made you come?
What made you here?

I am so sad.
Why did you have to come?
We can't be together.
We are not one.

I know that you are a stone-headed person.
A passionate one,
A boy with a good heart,
But our future won't include us.

We love to ride with the wind.
We are all about speed.
We live to conquer.
You're in the breeze with me.

But why do bunch of things separate us?
Why I have to face this once again?
Should I?
I don't want to sink in the same ocean again.

I need to do my life over.
Alone.
I don't want you here, there and everywhere.
Please, just don't hurt me.

Call me a selfish woman,
Because I am a woman with my words.
Call me a bitch,
Because I won't lose you that easy.

My heart, my body and my soul deserve another chance.
Mind to heal them and carry them?
Still, we don't know.
I don't know what you've been doing to me so far.

Keep my smile and carry it fondly.
We are the keepers of the faith.
Keep your faith in me and I'll keep yours.
For you to understand and for me to worry.

Another Moment of Fear.


I can feel you from a distance.
I can feel your pain.
I can feel how it hurts.
I can feel you.

Sleeping giants and tarantulas,
Such a weird dream, isn't it?
Then you combine it with the colors of a mountain.
You are so colorful.

I can see what you see.
Yes, you can't take me to your place.
So do I.
I can't bring you here.

It won't work.
We are not that different.
It's just,
You don't believe what I believe.

Some people said that I was defying gravity.
Others said that I was blinding my own eyes.
I was walking alone, leaving footsteps.
I was hiding behind your fear.

You fell for me.
I am so sorry.
I won't live in vain anymore.
I won't make my heart works like crazy anymore.

Now, breathe with me.
In and out, love.
Love me, miss me.
You can't have me.

Fading Clouds.

You're too late.
You weren't there either.
I made my own choice.
And I am here to erase what we had back then.

I didn't blame you.
It wasn't your fault.
I didn't point my finger at you.
Because it wasn't you.

I don't need any kind of help.
Please, help yourself.
I broke a heart once,
And I won't break another.

Such a good weather, isn't it?
I'm forcing my eyes to see the sky right now.
A moment of fear,
An eyes to let go.

I will throw my feeling away to the sky.
I will let it hides.
And someone will find it somehow.
And bring it back to me.

I won't say I won't talk to you.
Or see you.
But I will let my hand waves at you.
I will let you go for the sake of ours.

My Dearest In the Rain.


We've been doing this for so long.
All you have to do is to believe in me,
In us.
Believe that this was just began.

I've been keeping your secrets.
I've been hurting since you woke me up.
You're too bright.
You're too hard to break.

We are flying blind.
Hard rain and thousand voices,
You are piercing the quiet,
You are louder than thunder.

I saw you once on the horizon.
I thought you won't make it.
But you stand so tall.
You ran away to fast.

You were in my dream once.
You asked so many questions.
We missed us,
We missed paradise.

Your heartbeat is a silent song.
Your face as clear as the night.
Your eyes could bring the broken hearted back to life.
Let your colors burst out.

Now it is your chance to show us.
You will let the rain washes your color away.
You will seize those voice that broke you down.
You will shine.

I will see you tonight.
I will watch you stand so tall one more time.
My dearest in the rain,
You will meet me where you are.

If You Ever Come Back.


I know that you've been trying to not to look back.
I know that your past left you so many memories.
I know that you've been letting the front door open every morning,
In case she changes her mind.

She won't come back.
She has a lovely life now.
She has what she wants now.
She buried you alive.

She won't miss you either.
She will remember you,
As a man who took her life for granted.
As a man who gave her so much pains.

You were a liar before this.
You said you wanted to love her like she wanted.
You said you will make her smile.
But you gave her no room to breathe.

You could wish that she still wants to give you a hard time.
You could wish that she will stand in front of your door tonight.
You could wish that she will welcome you with her arms wide open.
But she knows that you will burn all of her dreams in a minute.

One day, you will cross her mind.
But her tears will make her grow stronger.
She will stay inside you for a very long time.
But you will never can reach her.

She won't say sorry, she won't be there for you anymore.
Keep on wishing then.
Run fast and cry now.
She's gone, forever.

1000 Voices.

Don't cry.
It's like I just met you yesterday.
Please, stop.
I am part of you.

Don't cry for me.
Cry for our happiness,
For all the time we have shared,
For your eyes in mine and mine in yours.

Take a look back to last Saturday,
We went to a place where the stars were above us.
We watched, we talked, we laughed.
That's when I realized that you have been a part of me.

You love to ask about what color is around us.
You love to watch me in silence.
I love to see you being loud.
I love to hear you talk about your life.

So, don't you ever drop your tears.
Let me wipe your tears away.
Let me hold you to make you feel warm.
Let my feelings grow bigger.

I want to go to a place where the stars dance for us.
I want to go somewhere cold with you of course.
I will sing you a song, a dream within a dream.
I will take a good care of you.

Don't make me worry because I worry too much.
I want to be with you, so don't be afraid.
Run to me and I will welcome you with my arms wide open.
Because I am yours and you knew it already.

Puzzle Piece.

Hello, Ent.
I won't let you wait.
I won't let you curse yourself.
Don't go.

I'm not good with this.
I won't say anything to you.
Watch me,
And you will understand.

Am I rude?
Am I selfish?
Maybe.
I'm not good in this.

To see you is to love your colors.
To touch you is to love your skin.
To hold you is to let go what I've been worrying.
To let you in is to love myself.

I am probably not your type.
I smoke a lot, two packs a day.
I am not a woman, I am a man.
I do what I want to do and I don't care if people won't co-operate with me.

But now I am fully understand.
I've been learning something I haven't done before.
I won't tell you, but you made me learn.
Thank you.

I will share you my life.
I will fix your broken body parts.
I will heal your broken heart.
I will make you smile.

I can't promise you things,
But I'm giving you my best.
I hope it'll get brighter each day.
I love you, Ent.

Maybe I Fell In Love With You When You Woke Me Up.


Wet street and pale faces.
Wild dogs and a woman cries.
Cigarettes and leather jacket.
I walk alone like a ghost.

I'm surviving myself from this old small town.
Rewinding memories and dreaming about the future.
Tearing my heart open,
Shutting down my brain for hours.

I close my eyes.
Imagining the sound of an ocean breeze.
The sound of a mountain.
Your echoes, calling out my name.

We are the music of the world.
We are the answers of the galaxy we are living.
We are the life.
We are the sin.

I drop my tears to the ground.
I know, I understand and I was there before you.
I will keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on.
I will keep you safe and I promise that no one will ever touch you like that again.

I will give colors to your eyes.
I will dive in your ocean.
I will search your mind.
I will help you stand and fly away from here.

I want to save you.
I don't care if I won't survive here.
I don't care if I have to stuck in this place a little longer.
I will return your heart beat.

Now breathe with me.
Open your heart for me.
I will not let your hands cover in blood.
I will wake you up.

Give Me A High Five Right On My Face.


What's so special about that?
What's wrong with your eyes?
Did you drop something?
Did you see something?

I never loved you.
I never thought about you.
I never asked you to live with me.
I never asked you to love me like I love them.

I was so high off the ground.
It was a long way down.
I was moving at the speed of light into eternity.
But I didn't feel your melody nor your rhythm.

I made my own music.
I made my own feelings.
I don't need you to do this with me.
I need nobody.

It is amazing, still.
You feel like you miss those happy days,
Where we argued and stayed for real.
Now grind it, until it gone.

Maybe we had the wrong time.
Maybe you had me at goodbye.
Maybe I was mad that day.

I should have told you how I feel.
I should have not kissed you like crazy.
I should have gave you a red light.
I should have not killed your mind for it.

Keep your reality out of mine.
I don't want you to expect something.
I won't answer your call.
Love, you are stuck on stupid.

Another War, Another Year.


How can I learn your song,
If you are not here?
How can I follow your footsteps,
If you are walking on air?

Are you alright?
Did those nightmares come again?
Did reality hurt you again?
Did you drop a tear?

I know your fear can't be tame.
Calm it down.
Controll your emotion.
Burst it out now.

Don't ever feel sad for what is over.
Just be glad that it was once yours.
You know where you belong.
You know what you believe in.

You are not afraid to walk away.
You are not afraid to let go.
You are not afraid to keep those beautiful memories with you.
You are not afraid to wait around for something that you know might not happen.

Now, stand up.
Let the light shines upon you.
Let your anger collides with your dreams.
Let me end your pain.

Now sit down and close your eyes.
You know it takes losing something to realize what you’ve had.
You did everything right for someone that does everything wrong,
Though you never put your happiness in someone else’s hands.



“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not, and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.” 
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
