kacamata kuda

coba kita ingat bagaimana kita sampai di titik ini.
perjalanan jauh telah kita lewati.
kita berdua sadar, ada yang menemani kita selama perjalanan ini.

sekarang mari tanya ia sebelum kita berjalan terlalu jauh.
sebelum kacamata kuda ini menjadi permanen, mari kita berhenti sejenak.
kita berdua sadar, betapa letihnya menggunakan kacamata kuda ini. atau mungkin ini hanya melelahkan bagi saya.
sekarang mari tanya ia sebelum kita semakin berat melangkah, semakin salah mengartikan "ia" yang menemani kita selama perjalanan ini, dan yang pada akhirnya hanya akan menyakiti diri masing-masing.

kemari, duduklah denganku. di samping sini. agar aku bisa merasakan cemasmu, sesakmu, harapmu dan sisa kecewamu terhadap hari kemarin.

saya hanya tidak ingin melukai siapapun lagi. termasuk diri sendiri.
sekarang, apakah dengan memakai kacamata kuda ini lagi saya tidak akan terluka selama perjalanan bersamamu??

KACA MATA KUDA

satu banding seribu

harapan-harapan lebih baiknya kusisihkan dulu.
kembali berbahagia dengan suaranya sudah kusyukuri dengan sangat.
harapan berlebih mungkin hanya akan merusak apa yang kurasa sekarang.

meski sebenarnya harapan itu ada.

terimakasih sudah meluangkan waktu untuk menjengukku tiap malam.
terimakasih sudah membuatku merasa diperhatikan.

Haunted

You and I walk a fragile line

I have known it all this time

But I never thought I'd live to see it break

It's getting dark, and it's all too quiet

And I can't trust anything now

And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake

Oh, I'm holding my breath

Won't lose you again

Something's made your eyes go cold

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Something's gone terribly wrong

You're all I wanted

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Can't breathe whenever you're gone

Can't turn back now, I'm haunted

Stood there and watched you walk away

From everything we had

But I still mean every word I said to you

He would try to take away my pain

And he just might make me smile

But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead

I know, I know

I just know

You're not gone

You can't be gone, no

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Something's gone terribly wrong

Won't finish what you started

Almost Lover

Your fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind, images

You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me in the shade

And when you left you kissed my lips

You told me you would never ever forget these images, no

I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot try the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that easy to walk

Right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Why can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do
