Life

“I knew that what was left of me would always love you, but never in quite the same way.”

— F. Scott Fitzgerald

“There are a few great souls in my life. They are not many. They are few. You are one.”

— Anne Sexton

Gratitude

Despite being lost in translation,

Being pulled apart by an ocean,

Knowing my limitations

I wanted to let you know.

From my first journey walking,

A world where everything was foreign,

Always there for me to fall back,

You guided me by the hand.

Early mornings and cold awakenings,

The winds at my back,

You laughed to shield me from the cold.

Early mornings and early prayings,

I ran to burst,

Your patience was my solace to hold.

Now years have passed,

We're no longer together,

I've grown apart,

But I'll always remember.

You brought me to today,

These steps I take are yours,

These feats I own and life I live,

You brought me to today.

I am made from you,

So with everything I have

MAKASIH.

Aku akan selalu sayang kamu.

I think this was the best humour they've shown in the season so far.

“There are people we meet in life who miss being important to us by inches, days, or heartbeats. Another place or time or a different emotional frame of mind and we would willingly fall into their arms; gladly take up their challenge or invitation. But as it is, we encounter them when we are discontent or content and they are not. Whatever they are, we are not and vice versa. Two trains going in different directions that pass for a few powerful moments at full speed, blasting noise and wind but then they are gone. Whatever serious chemistry might have been possible if, isn’t.”

— Jonathan Carroll

Pretty sure the troll in him would do it too.

“Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.”

— André Aciman

Chance

The wind cried out to my soul.

As I basked in the sea of clouds,

The desire of my heart,

Called out of its shroud.

For once I felt unencumbered.

It was almost like you

Were there with me.

For that one moment - ephemeral

Time stood still.

My entire body full of warmth.

Weightless in standing,

Like floating in the exosphere.

But time and circumstance are cruel beings,

Making life the hell we needed.

And as the gulls shattered my brief paradise,

The pit of fact settles back:

That we may never meet-

...I hope we meet.
