Two Halves

"What have we done to each other?
What will we do?"
-Gillian Flynn

Today I see shades of pink and blue.

I realized that we have been conditioned to see the glass only as half-full or half-empty.
Either half-full.
Or half-empty.

We would know that both are true, though
if we were not too smug (oh, yes)
to cling onto just one.

Natural

The sound of the word "Love"
at the end of your sentence,
coming out so naturally;
like it is the only sound that completes a string of words.

Shiver

"But on and on
From the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care."

After Glow

"You are better than whatever came before,
Without you here my heart's broken to the core."

Sempurna Itu Ada Dalam Setiap Ruang dan Waktu

Katakan tujuh itu sempurna.

Bila kosong, rayukan yang satu.
Bila ada satu, mohonkan yang dua.
Bila ada dua, inginkan yang tiga.
Bila ada tiga, angankan yang empat.
Bila ada empat, citakan yang lima.
Bila ada lima, mimpikan yang enam.
Bila ada enam, kejarkan yang tujuh.

Bila cukup, lepaskan semua.
Dalam genggam tak tinggal sisa.
Harapan pecah hati berkaca.
Tertanya-tanya, Tuhan, bagaimana?

Kenapa kita tak bersyukur?

Plans

I suck at playing by ear.
Can I play with your ear instead?
