To The Man I Loved

How have you been?
I know you never ask, but I'm doing okay here.
Well, barely.
Tonight is one of those nights when suddenly I remember you.
Remember how close we were.
Remember the way you said my name.
Remember those beautiful eyes of yours.
Pathetic, I know.
I'll get over you fully as soon as possible.
I promise.
But, not today.
Maybe not tomorrow either.
Hey, do you ever wonder how it would be if we date?
We'd be the weirdest couple ever.
Cause I'm weird.
And you're weird too for liking a girl like me.
Sometimes I really wanna go back in time.
When everything was okay for us.
But, okay is not enough.
I kept getting greedy over you.
I kept wanting you for myself.
Only for me.
And that what killed me at the end.

To the man I loved.
Thank you for the memories.
The good one, the bad one.
Everything.
Now, I need to go and live my current life.
I'm sure I'll be okay.
I wish I am.

Dua Puluh Empat

Dua puluh empat. Usia yang tak lagi muda, namun juga tak benar-benar tua.

Dua puluh empat. Hampir seperempat abad, tapi masih sering mengumpat.

Dua puluh empat. Ketika wajah-wajah lama semakin lenyap, wajah -wajah baru datang untuk mengendap.

Dua puluh empat. Hanya bisa menatap, kemana hidup akan membawanya menetap.

Dua puluh empat. Masih percaya romansa klise, membuatnya larut dalam berbagai fase.

Dua puluh empat. Waktunya keluar dari zona nyaman, meski harus berada di tempat tak aman.

Dua puluh empat. Saat raga semakin lemah, oleh kerasnya kehidupan tanpa arah.

Dua puluh empat. Tiga puluh persen matang, tujuh puluh persen masih senang-senang.

Dua puluh empat. Usia yang tepat untuk menata hidup, tanpa tahu apa yang harus diraup.

Dua puluh empat. Berharap kelak akan datang orang yang tepat.
