See the sunrise, know it's time for us
To pack up all the past, and find what truly last
If everything has been written down, so why worry, we say?
It's you and me with a little left of sanity
If life is ever changing, so why worry, we say?
It's still you and I with a silly smile as we wave goodbye
So how will it be? Sometimes we just can't see
A neighbor, a lover, a joker? Or a friend you can count on forever?
How tragic, how happy, how sorry?
For all we know we've come this far not knowing why

So would it be nice to sit back in silence?
Despite all the wisdom and the fantasies
Having you close to my heart as I say a little grace
I'm thankful for this moment 'cause I know that you
Grow a day older and see how this sentimental fool can be
....

And as the years slip past us
If we lose track or lose the fight
I will search forever to find the way back to tonight
Where it's just you and me and honestly
That's everything I need

Found this on my journal, 'bout March- April 2013. How random ._. Sepertinya gw nulis pas lagi kelas sejarah di siang yang super duper panas dan berhasil bikin otak error.

"10.000 tahun yan akan datang, orang akan liat ke belakang dan ngeliat kita ini makhluk prasejarah zaman 'Googlelithikum' dengan artefak berupa internet, chat history, dan social media kita sekarang"

Need someone to talk to. Need YOU to talk to.  To discuss, argue, and fight if needed. Someone who sees things the way I see it, whose mind I adore. someone who will test all my arguments, putting me out of my comfort zone. Someone who speaks honestly, who won't comfort me with lies. Someone who can keep it real. I've been keeping all my thoughts inside my head for months and I really really need you right now. Do I really miss you that bad shhhh? Graaaa  please come back soon!

Melukiskanmu saat senjaMemanggil namamu ke ujung duniaTiada yang lebih piluTiada yang menjawabku selain hatikuDan ombak berderu
Di pantai ini kau slalu sendiriTak ada jejakku di sisimuNamun saat ku tibaSuaraku memanggilmu akulah lautanKe mana kau s'lalu pulang
Jingga di bahukuMalam di depankuDan bulan siaga sinari langkahkuKu terus berjalanKu terus melangkahKuingin kutahu engkau ada
Memandangimu saat senjaBerjalan di batas dua duniaTiada yang lebih indahTiada yang lebih rinduSelain hatikuAndai engkau tahu
Di pantai itu kau tampak sendiriTak ada jejakku di sisimuNamun saat kau rasaPasir yang kau pijak pergi akulah lautanMemeluk pantaimu erat
Jingga di bahumuMalam di depanmuDan bulan siaga sinari langkahmuTeruslah berjalanTeruslah melangkahKu tahu kau tahu aku ada
- Dee, Rectoverso - Aku ada

1 month + 1 week since mama's gone. I told you, it's always midnight when I miss her the most. So this is, another post based on my feeling. A song reminds me of her, Aku Ada by Dee from Rectoverso. Mama pernah bilang ke nyokap gw, katanya, setelah dikremasi, kapanpun kita ngerasa kangen sama dia, kita tinggal dateng ke laut and she'll always be there, whenever we need her. Satu hal yang baru sadar adalah betapa mama tau gw suka pantai, dan laut, dan suka banget jalan sendiri di pantai. Listening to this song right now, I get this feeling like she never left us. She never left me.  Had a conv with my mom earlier today, talking about Mama, creating what-if scenarios, realizing that life goes on, but the memory of her remains. Sometimes, I feel her presence near us. Dan bukan maksud gw buat trus sedih atau gimana, I'm happier, knowing that she's happier now in heaven, without cancer, without pain. But there are times when I really-really miss her, including what you read right now. I'm sorry bloggie, I hope you're not annoyed with these diary-like posts

If there's a road I should walk,
help me find it.
If I need to be still,
give me peace for the moment

One month since Mama passed away. 

Gaada - dan mungkin ga akan pernah ada kata- kata yang bisa ngejelasin gimana rasanya. But I'll try my best.

Sebulan lalu, dengan keadaan super capek pas weekend, yang rencana awalnya ga pulang sama sekali, tiba - tiba datenglah beberapa senior kasih form artbound yang perlu di tandatanganin orang tua. So I called my mom. Kabarin mau pulang. Mami bilang, Mama sudah parah keadaannya. Dan gw harus pulang, begitu kata nyokap gw di telepon. 

And for no specific reason, I cried on my way back home. 
Di dalem shuttle bus ke Jakarta, di saat kelewatan bus dan mesti balik lagi. 

Malemnya, kita ke rumah sakit. Dan disana mama, masih bisa bercanda. Gw masih bisa cerita tentang keabsurdan kampus gw sekarang. I noticed little things, though. Papercranes yang pernah gw buatin masih disimpen ama dia. Mama cerita dengan susah payah. Dia curhat ke nyokap gw, nyampein beberapa hal. Dia bilang, dia udah ga kuat lagi. 

I didn't take it seriously at first. 

Mama udah survive kanker 5 taun, dan udah berkali - kali kejadian kayak gini terulang. Tapi nyokap gw tau, even kita semua ga tau, kalo yang kali ini berbeda.

Sisanya ga jauh beda kayak adegan di film dan masih banyak ngeblur. Dan masih gw coba hidupkan lagi dan lagi. Respiratory nya turun, dokter yang mondar mandir, suara emergency, lampu di lorong, orang yang lari - lari, bayangan mama di kaca pas dipompa jantungnya. 

Garis lurus di mesin... 

Gaada kata - kata yang bisa jelasin hari - hari berikutnya. Tentang peti, bau bunga yang khas, bau parfum orang meninggal, bau rumah duka, kacang dan jeruk dimana - mana, suasana krematorium, tentang laut dan keinginan terakhir mama. Tentang wangi baju mama dan kamar nya pas kita kesana, tentang perasaan tentang kehadiran dia di deket kita.  Ga pernah ada kata - kata yang bisa jelasin. 

But here I am, 
satu bulan dah lewat, akhirnya balik lagi ke rumah. Dan balik lagi kesini. Sengaja pake baju yang sama. Life goes on, though. Still keeping her last words to me. Dan tiba - tiba keinget semua cerita dia. Semua yang dia lakuin selama 18 taun hidup gw, walopun bukan nyokap kandung. 

I cried again, on my way going back here.
Di shuttle bus, kembali dari Jakarta.

Dan pas gw nulis ini, gw juga ga ngerti kenapa gw tulis. Maksud gw, buat apa? Toh kalian ga kenal. Toh kalo kenal pun udah gaada lagi yang bisa diceritakan ke depannya. But I want her to be remembered the way I remember her. A loving woman loved me like her own daughter. Even though I gotta share my feeling, and it's never easy for me. :)
