Ku putar sekali lagi nyanyianmu malam ini,
sebagai penghantar tidur dan penyemangatku esok pagi.

Katamu aku mataharimu,
menebar kehangatan ke sekitarku.

Kau bilang kau tak dapat lupakanku,
juga tak mampu menyatakan ku milikmu.


Tak sadar kah kau yang membohongi diri sendiri,
menyamar sebagai pujangga yang hanya bisa berjanji.

Janji yang kita berdua tahu,
bahwa kata-katamu itu palsu.

Berjanjilah malam ini; bahwa kau takkan ada di sisiku.
Tepati, amali, sebelum waktu ‘kan berlalu.
inspired by Ardhito’s song; The Sun.

If I could turn back time
I would hit Backspace all day,
Id put on Caps Lock
and SHOUT what I say.

I'd use the whole Alphabet
To tell you hello,
Press seven Numbers
Til you picked up the phone.

I'd Tab through the comments
I didn't want to hear,
And use the Arrow Keys
To drag your body near.

I would Delete the harsh words
I didn't mean to speak,
And Insert the "I love yous"
I before couldn't leak.

I would use Ctrl to
Keep reigns over my heart,
And I would Escape lies
That tore us apart.

I'd Print out your photo
And kiss it goodnight,
Use the Calculator
To check that we were right.

I'd Paint you a picture
of us, you and me,
Then I'd hit Enter
Just so you would see.

Those are the things
I would do in my strife,
If only Backspace
worked in real life.
This is the first poem (that I have a copy of) i wrote that I actually thought was good. I was in seventh grade, twelve years old, and I wrote it for a newspaper competition. I knew it was really great but I didn't think I would beat all other applicants in the state in my age group. So you can imagine my surprise I'm sure when I DID win! That is the first time I was proud of my writing. So this one has a lot of special sentimental value. Thanks for reading.

benar adanya, bahagia itu sederhana.
seperti berlarian di pekarangan monumen nasional sore itu.
seakan kita ada di sana untuk yang pertama dan; mungkin untuk yang terakhir kali.
kumohon, jangan ada yang berubah.
tetap lah menjadi sederhana.
seperti kala kau tersenyum setelah melahap makanan kesukaanmu.
seperti kala kau bersenandung ketika mendengarkan lagu idola lamamu.

she’s at the point where nothing does satisfy her and she’s confused because nothing really passionates her to be better.

but she’s not lost, as long as the sun and the moon are still right there by her side, watching her while she passes the day and while she sleeps through the night.

Tak pernah terbayang olehku,
untuk bertemu denganmu.
Tak pernah terbesit dalam pikiranku,
untuk jatuh hati padamu.

Semua terjadi tanpa ada yang bisa mengira.
Semua terjadi begitu saja.
Tanpa ada paksaan.
Tanpa ada taruhan.

Percayalah kasih,
semua lagu yang kau suka,
semua bintang yang kau sapa,
dan rumah yang kau tuju
Itu aku.

I never understand how could the world goes around so quickly.
At one moment, I feel so happy that I couldn't stop smiling.
But at the next moment, I feel so ****** up that I couldn't even move my lips.
