Lucky

Why did you pick up a pale lily in a garden full of bright roses? Why did you drink a glass of plain water when you are offered a bottle of healthy milk? Why did you walk on your bare feet when you can ride fancy cars? Why did you choose the ordinary one when you are surrounded by those extraordinaries? Why did you leave a beautiful star only for seeking a dim light from a nearly burnt candle? What did you see? What did you think? What did you feel? At first, I am afraid you would regret your decision for I don't have anything, for I am nothing. But you always make me feel special, enlighten me about the charms I have, build up my confidence, and sweep away the insecurities I have been keeping. You always bring the best out of me. Thank God, we are a thing and you are my everything. For all of these, I am lucky.

*Lucky I'm in love with my best friend~

I was hollow and brokenhearted. I was shallow and negative-minded. I once loved someone, got hurt and depressed. I was scared to love and being loved any damn more because of him. I closed spaces for anyone, I didn't like being courted. I thought there was no such thing of genuine love in this too unfair mean world. All was games, merely lies.

But you proved me wrong. You taught me how to open my heart again. You persuaded me to believe in sincerity. You painted my pale monochromatic sphere with beautiful colors. You woke my faint self, you digged up my hidden soul. I was never being this honest to anyone but you. I sometimes wanted to run away from you for you were already hers but my body and my spirit betrayed me, they were animated because of you and I followed them.

Thank you for choosing me, thank you for loving me. I am so grateful, I am so lucky. All heartbreaks were washed away by your smiles, all tears were dried away by your touches. Your love is my remedy. Please hold all my trusts because with you, I all am ready. With you, I stand steady.

With you, yourself, I am beyond content.

Teman Sejiwa

Bertahun berkawan
Aku baru sadar kamu menawan
Rentetan tingkah menyebalkan
Mengapa membuatmu sangat rupawan?

Kamu itu pengganggu
Yang keberadaannya selalu aku tunggu
Pemanis lagu
Pengusir ragu

Kata hati, kamu berbeda
Membawa ceria bahagia
Mengubah tanya menjadi nyata
Yakinku berbisik, kamu teman sejiwa

Other Half

We met as strangers who barely knew each other. No, it was not love at first sight because honestly I can't remember when was the exact time we first met. I can't tell how your eyes initially laid stares on me. I can't recall how we began to be close to one another. We started as two people who hardly talked together, we developed as friends who had same interests, we created quarrels between us that somehow made us more intimate, we grew as solid buddies who shared same dreams, you became the best mate I always counted on, and now you manage yourself to be the one.

Yeah, you are the one I've been dreaming about, the one I've been looking for, the one I've been wishing to God, the one I thought never existed in real life. But you came, answering my questions, wiping away my doubts, changing my loneliness into happiness, sweetening the bitterness of my attitudes. With you I want to be a better person, with you I want to put my bad sides aside, with you I learned positivities in facing this life, with you I found out how raw emotions turned to be ripe feelings. With you, I am strengthened and healed.

Despite your flaws, you are the perfect shape to fill that hollow chamber in my heart. You conquered those cold vacant spaces in my cells. You are the ideal work of art. You have all elements of those requirements I desire. You are both who I want and I need. You are annoying and addicting at the same time. It's not only me who falls for you but my soul as well. You are the mirror that reflects my inner self. You are the missing piece of my broken puzzle. You are the right one, the epitome of love. I'm sure, I'm extremely sure, you are my other half and together we form a whole us.

Our First Kiss

That moment under the dim light, when you put your arms around my waist to pull me closer to you as I copied you warming you up in my embrace sent my tummy those butterflies that have been missing. You closed distances separating us and stared at my eyes deeply as if you were asking for my permission to make me yours. Slowly, inch per inch, you pasted your lips on mine while casting beautiful spells making me lose my sanity. I closed my eyes while sitting still, enjoying the bliss and questioning myself what kind of beats that was dancing inside of me, it was an unusual one but somehow I savored it.

It was warm and a bit wet, it was so soft, so tender, so gentle, so sincere. The emotional state was so overwhelming, it touched the very core of my heart, it made me feel safe and secure in peace; a sensation I never experienced with anyone else, a notion the words in any kind of dictionaries couldn't describe nor represent. The way you moved your lips took my breath away, it was like you pronounced and whispered an 'I love you' within the space of my mouth. You pumped me oxygen and I was alive, you revived me from death and I was immortal. It was like you sucked away all my pains and blew me unending glee. It was not my first kiss but the purity it gave, felt like one. It was between you and me. It was our first. It was ours.
