The night when the stars fall down from the sky

It’s 2 o’clock in the morning, one of the finest night in August day. You can see the Milky way dancing in your eyes, you can watch God paint the whole universe. It’s beautiful up here, I’m on the top of the hill, and the sky was never brighter as usual. The air is all awash with angels, no distraction, your eyes all the way a head to the sky. This is the august, the month of perseus and this is the night when the stars fall down from the sky.

It’s raining, the stars. We forget to bring an umbrella. Don’t worry it’s just the meteor, they’ll never come here, they didn’t grant your wishes, but they carried away your dreams. You believed in them, you kept it alive in your heart. And all you have to do is wait, till your dreams will become true.

Remember when i told you that night,

“It’s raining the stars, look up to the sky, watch the stars fall, and pray your wishes”. 

I make a wish that someday, i will meet the right person as right as you. She gave me all her heart, and i will give her all my life.

You saw a lot of stars fall down, that night. But i saw a lot of more in your eyes.

Lalu

Lalu sebelum bulan memudar, aku ingin bercerita kepadamu kisah tentang perpisahan. Setiap muka-muka yang kita pandangi, ada suatu ketika kita terpaksa melihati punggungnya. Sesedikitnya kepulangan lalu sebanyak-banyaknya kepergian, perpisahan akan terus membuntuti setiap pertemuan. Apabila mengenang adalah repih-repih angan yang  engkau simpan di bilik-bilik hati, lantas mengingat adalah cara yang paling mudah bagi engkau  untuk merindukan.

The Unholy Confession

I was born perfectly, I knew it, everybody knew it, but my logic always deny. I have too much pessimism than optimism in me. I always over think something and afraid for what I’ve done isn’t enough, they’re absolutely not perfect before my expectation. I hope too much, but I act too less. That’s why I stuck in this damn pathetic thinking, guess I will never go anywhere. My heart is like a door that is made without the key, I will never fall in love.

Ironi jatuh cinta

Kabut senja bergumul menyelimuti bukit-bukit yang memunggungi langit sedari siang tadi. Surya yang enggan bangun dari peraduan, bermalas-malasan sambil mengusap botak kepalanya yang tak sekemilau dahulu. Seharusnya Tuhan memecatnya menjadi pusat tata surya, jika selalu terlambat memberi kemilaunya pada bumi dan semestanya. Mungkin beberapa ribu tahun cahaya lagi, matahari undur diri dari perjalanan waktu, karena aku tahu dia sedang sekarat, dia sudah kehabisan serbuk cahaya.
