Regrets

I'm waitin here

Hopin for you to come

And forgive me for what i've done

Please, just give me one more chance


Leaving you

Is the dumbest thing that i ever done

And now I realize

That you are the "one"


So, here i am

Holding a buquet

On the Pier

On the place where we first met.


I'm begging you

Please come

So that i can show you

How i much i love you.

Happy.


There are different examples of happiness; the simple one, like, how happy you’d be when you’d get to see your friends at school, or, it’s that happiness you’d get because you’d get to make someone else happy. A very famous saying goes like this, it’s about giving, and not accepting. But through and through, doesn’t matter where, when, how, or why did you get your happiness, the state of being happy is the same everywhere in the world.

Little girls have this vision in their heads, that they’d get to find their handsome prince and marry the princess version of themselves, and have that happily ever after. Don’t deny it, every single girl in their grade school years have gone through that. Doesn’t matter that now as you grow up, that vision of the handsome prince change, or you wouldn’t ride a horse chariot, or live in a gigantic castle, the point of that vision remains the same. Maybe now you’d wish you’d have a knight instead of a prince, someone who is just as great but will risk their lives for you, or you just wished you’d get a simple man. Yes, you wouldn’t ride off to the sunset with your man in a chariot, but maybe an old Mustang, or a two-door Aventador. And maybe you realized that castles are overrated and chose to live in an apartment in New York with a view of the city. Who knows? It’s your dream and not mine. No matter what age you are, or what kind of a person you wanna be, that ‘happily ever after’ lingers in your head.

In books and movies, most romance stories end in happy endings, it is exactly what you’d want to happen to yourself. People said that romance and ‘happy ever afters’ are cliches, well, it truly is. Cliches are things that happen so often, it gets boring and too predictable, but is happiness a cliche?

What is the true meaning of happiness, anyway? Yes, it’s the feeling you get when you grin so wide your cheeks starts to hurt. It’s the feeling you get when you can still point over to where your best friend is. It’s the feeling you get when you succeed to make your parents grin so wide their cheeks starts to hurt.

It’s so easy being happy. Just letting go and do what we like, that made us happy. Get high marks in a test, that made us happy. Even finding a spare change on the floor made us happy.

But what we sometimes forget is that there are times where we just can’t be happy. The feeling of the opposite runs through our veins and consumes our minds. I’m sure everyone had that feeling once or twice. Having to feel the complete opposite of happiness produces pain. Pain that may or may not be cured by doing things that made us happy.

So there it is, the merriment of happiness, the jolly-good feeling, has an unfortunately opposite feeling. The constant void of a feeling, the pain and suffering, is it. It’s annoying how something so bright and beautiful may be overpowered by nothingness, it’s not fair to those who tries so hard to make everyone around them happy and actually succeeds, to just be crushed by the opposite because no one cared to do the same.

Whatever happens, though, happiness is just something you can’t give up on. It’s our goal in life, not wealth, not even respect, but just a true, sincere happiness. No matter how hard we went through to get that happiness, or what we had to lose to gain our happiness, the feeling of pure happiness later on will erase all the bad things and make it all worth it in the end.

There’s a saying that goes like this: You can’t see the rainbow, if you didn’t go through the rain.

This is the story of me, of you, and of everybody we know and don’t know.

[Mentari Suharto 11E]

I am the puddle of mud on the street after the rain yesterday
I am the leaves dancing on the mango tree
I am the white pillow on your bed that you embraced last night
I am the deer table lamp next to your bed

I am the multi-colored pen you use at school
I am the bottle of water on your table
I am the box of tissues in your convertible
I am the coconut-flavored soap you use


I am the whisper of the night saying ‘sleep tight...’
I am the smile on the mirror in the bathroom
I am the eyes of the walls where you 
I am the kiss of the perfume you always wear


I am your best friend and your 3-year-old cousin
I am your mother and father
I am the X-Men action figure and the stack of bills on your dining table
I am everything you want me to be.
I am... you.

"What If..."


“What if I’m a murderer?” he said

“I don’t care…” I close my book

“What if I’m a psychopath, and one day, without any reason, I’ll stab you from behind your back, and mutilate you?”

“Then I’m willing to die.” I move closer to him.

“What if one day, I left you, for another girl?”

“Then just kill me.” I look at his face.

God, I just love his 5’Oclock shadow, his Italian accent, and his scent, masculine and soothing.

“What if suddenly I lost my memory, and forget you?”

“Then I’ll help you to remember what we’ve been through” I gaze his eyes.

His eyes, the first thing that make me fall in love with him, those azure eyes.

“What if—“he doesn’t continue his sentence, as I kissed his lips

“That’s only an ‘if’, but one thing I can promise you, I’ll love with all my heart, and accept you for the way you are.” Once again I look him in the eyes, his azure eyes. “Ho fiducia in te, I trust you, and I’m sure that you won’t leave me. And please answer, do you love me?”

He smile and hold my hand “Ti amo tanto, amore mio. Io ti amerĂ² sempreHe kisses me gently.

“I love you too, bello”
