Hiroshi's Letter

As I write this letter, the ocean breeze feels cool on my skin. The very ocean is soon to be my grave. They tell me I will die a hero, that the safety and honor of my country will be the reward for ny sacrifice. I pray they are right.

My only regret in life is never telling yoy how I feel. I wish I were back home. I wish I were holding your hand. I wish I were telling you that I have loved you and only you since I was s boy. But I am not. I see now that death is easy. It is love that is hard.

As my plane dives, I will not see the face of my enemies. I will only, instead, see your eyes. Like black rocks frozen in rain water. They tell us that we must scream "Banzai" as we plunge into our target. I will instead whisper your name and in death, as in life, I will remain forever."

           Hiroshi's letter from the movie Restless (2011)

buluh perindu

Aku adalah buluh perindu
Yang bernyanyi sedih sayu ketika ditiup bayu
Kalau kau mau tahu,
sosok kafi itu yang memicu

Ia yang wajahnya selalu menyela dalam doa
Yang selalu kubayangkan raganya menari dalam sepi
Yang senyumnya menyelinap dalam gelap
Yang keindahannya semayam di antara malam

Apa masih ada rasa yang tak punya nama?
Yang alpa wujudnya
Yang tidak kasatmata
Hingga hanya asa yang saksi ia ada

Sungguh telah kau curi waktuku
Hingga mentari tak cukup jeli memetakanmu
Bulan tak cukup setia mendengarkan dongengku,
tentang kamu dan aku

Adakah sedetik kau memikirkanku?
Berharap aku berdiri di ujung jalan itu
Berpapasan sehingga lengan kita bersentuhan
Mencerai tatap dalam sipu yang tertahan

Aku mengagumimu dari jarak yang hanya Tuhan yang tahu
Lewat lengan yang tak sengaja bersentuhan
Lewat tatap mata yang diisaratkan bertemu
Lewat debar jantung dan pengharapan

Waktu
Ia berlalu
Ia jelmakan kita jadi jemu
Kadang ia sangat terburu-buru

Jarak
Inginku kau sudi beranjak
Hingga kita hanya sejejak
Inginku kau bisiki aku sajak

Rindu
Ialah nestapa hati yang bisu
Isyarat hati yang malu-malu
Sorak sorai hati yang menggebu-gebu

Sepi
Didalamnya aku bermimpi
Padanya aku 'kan kembali
Kepadanya aku berhutang budi

India.Arie - Can I Walk With You


I woke up this morning
You were the first thing on my mind


I don't know were it came from
All I know is I need you in my life, yeah

You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place

Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend 'till the end
Can I walk with you through your life

You've got me wondering if you know that
I am wondering about you
The feeling is so strong that I can't imagine
You're not feeling it too
You've known me long enough to trust that
I want what's best for you
If you wanna be happy then I am the one
That you should give your heart to

CHORUS

Now everyday aint' gonna be like the summer's day
Being in love for real it ain't like a movie screen
But I can tell you all the drama aside you and I
can find what the worlds been looking for forever
friendship and love together

CHORUS

Pungguk kembali merindukan Bulan
perkara Bulan sudi menahu
bahwa di bawah ada seorang Pungguk,
yang tahu hanya Tuhan
