Jarak....

Jarak punya caranya sendiri untuk memberi kita waktu. Memberi kita ruang. Membuat kita melihat lebih jelas..

Tak mudah mengakrabi jarak. Ia hadir secara acak. Jauh-dekat hanya merupa garis-garis buram ketika dilewati dalam kecepatan maksimum. Ada saatnya kita tak tahu kapan harus menarik jarak, dan kapan harus melesak dalam. Ada saatnya kita tak tahu kapan harus memagari hati atau menitipkannya pada orang lain.


Tapi jarak adalah teman yang baik. Pelan-pelan, jarak mengajari kita bahwa sesuatu yang indah akan tetap indah, baik ketika dilihat dari jauh maupun ketika dilihat dari dekat.

I Write Because....

I write because I want to remember you. I write because I don’t want to forget the pleasant feeling of seeing you for the very first time. I write because I want to bring back the butterflies. I write because I can still remember the way you casually said hello and how mesmerized I was with the way you kept your cool. I write because I want to reread our conversation and flip the pages to see how far we’ve come.
I write because I want to greet you in the morning and spend time with you in the evening. I write because I know that my words can fit inside your jacket’s pocket where your palms are resting.
I write because I miss you. I write because I want to talk to you at times when you are not around. I write because I want to comfort you and cheer you up, but I can’t fly to where you are.
I write because I want to share the highlights of my life with you. I write because I know there are fifty percent chance that you’ll come across it and another fifty percent chance that you’ll actually care.
I write because I want you to know that I’m thinking of you. I write because I want to hug you but I can’t. I write because I see all these beautiful things and all those things remind me of you. I write because it makes me feel closer to you. I write because words are all I have. I write because I can’t get you out of my mind. I write because I can’t get you out of my heart.
I write because you can keep these words even long after I’m gone. I write because one day—whether things will work out between us or not, I’ll put these words underneath your door.
I write because when that day comes, I want to show you how much you are loved.
