'tis the damn season - Taylor Swift

If I wanted to know
Who you were hanging with
While I was gone
I would've asked you

It's the kind of cold
Fogs up windshield glass
But I felt it when I passed you

There's an ache in you
Put there by the ache in me
But if it's all the same to you
It's the same to me

We could call it even
You could call me 'babe' for the weekend
'Tis the damn season
Write this down
I'm staying at my parent's house
And the road not taken looks real good now

And it always leads to you
In my hometown

I parked my car
Right between the methodist
And the school that used to be ours
The holidays linger like bad perfume
You can run but only so far

I escaped it too
Remember how you watched me leave

But if it's okay with you
It's okay with me

Time flies
Messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm missing your smile
Here me out
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now

And it always leads to you
In my hometown

Sleep in half the day
Just for old times' sake
I won't ask you to wait
If you don't ask me to stay

So I'll go back to LA
And the so-called friends who'll write books about me if I ever make it
And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm faking

And the heart I know I'm breaking is my own
To leave the warmest bed I've ever known

We could call it even
Even though I'm leaving
And I'll be yours for the weekend
'Tis the damn season

We could call it even
You could call me 'babe' for the weekend
'Tis the damn season
Write this down
I'm staying at my parent's house
And the road not taken looks real good now

Time flies
Messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm missing your smile
Here me out
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now

And it always leads to you
In my hometown

It always leads to you
In my hometown

Late Night Words: Tulisan Yang Bikin Overthink

Ada 2 buah pilihan

Orang yang menyayangimu

Atau

Orang yang kamu dan dia saling sayang


Bisakah kamu pilih salah satu? 


Pretty sure mayoritas pilihan jatuh pada pilihan ke-2

Memilih orang yg sayang kamu dan kamu juga sayang dia


Katanya dengan begitu, semua bisa saling

Saling melengkapi

Saling mengisi

Saling berbagi

Saling semuanya


Tapi


Karena sama-sama merasa dirinya disayangi satu sama lain

Apakah ada yang tahu kalau suatu saat

Salah satu pasti ada yang berharap? 

Berharap kebaikannya dibalas kebaikan juga

Berharap keikhlasannya dibalas keikhlasan juga

Berharap apapun yang salah satu diantaranya lakukan, yang lainnya juga melakukan exactly hal yang sama

Berharap

Adil


Apakah ada yang tahu kalau suatu saat

Semua 'saling' bisa jadi 'tidak saling'? 

Tidak saling sayang

Tidak saling mengisi

Tidak saling berbagi

Tidak saling melengkapi

Tidak saling semuanya

Lagi-lagi karena merasa biar adil


Sungguh skenario yang sangat jauh dari indah


Lalu pilihan tersebut membuat kita memikirkan pilihan pertama


Memilih orang yang menyayangi kita

Melihat usahanya

Melihat ketulusannya

Melihat kemampuannya


Will he do any thing for me? 

Most importantly, anything for my best? 

Take a good and gently care of us

Tidak mau membuat kita sedih

Tidak mau membuat kita susah

Tidak mau membuat kita merasa kurang

Tidak mau membuat kita terluka


Always keep their eyes on us

With heart full of love

Sincere effort

Everlast

Tidak berharap kebaikannya kembali


And never take us for granted once we accept and allowed him to stay


Sampai waktunya bunga dalam hati kita tumbuh

Perasaan sayang itu tumbuh

You feel loved

So loved

Karena usaha merawat yang selama ini kita dapatkan darinya


Until the time you can accept and love him back with pure and sincere heart with no buts and expectations

And you both live happily

You both live sincerely

You both loved


Good scenario, I guess


Look how now it seems like option 1 is blinded pick and option 2 is conscious pick, right? 


Really punny


But then you know that we can't see what future brings

Whatever you choose

Choose wisely

Be conscious


Every options have their own ups and downs

Every options have their good sides and bad sides


If it feels right, be grateful

If it feels wrong, it's okay to regret a bit

But then go on

Take a responsibility of it

We're only human too

Everything can change

Just make sure you enjoy the ride


You know that this last sentence is naive but, 

Keep seeing the beautiful in every thing

Be kind and honest

Kindness keeps the world afloat

Believe that kindness brings you to very much beautiful things in the end


Kebaikan akan menyaring semuanya hingga akhirnya kebaikan pula yang akan kamu terima

Bahkan kalau itu harus menyingkirkan orang-orang yang kamu pikir sayang kamu padahal hatinya tidak

Karena semesta tau, itu tidak baik untukmu

Universe will make sure you get the kindness that you deserve


A Strike From The Past: Questioning

Why keep coming to my dream? 

Why took a very good and gentle care of me? 

Are you still thinking of me? 

Or

Is it just me who really miss a very good and gentle kind of care?

Because it felt so good

And so pure

And so real


I felt

Loved


It takes me

To the last time you, yourself, directly met me

Said that you'd borrowed my math book

I didn't think I'd said "yes, you can come."

Because I was so afraid back then

I don't know why I'm always afraid of you

But I said "yes, you can come."


Then you came

Parked your car in front of my house

I welcomed you

Even made you a cup of tea

Grabbed my math book and gave it to you

And we were talking

And talking

Four eyes

Face to face

For the very first time to us

And pretty sure it was for the last time too


I was really sure that there wasn't any thing except you borrowed my math book

And you would use it for learning

Because you said you will face a test

You talked about you're going to college abroad

Cool, I said


And that was it

You didn't say any thing anymore

And then the time was going late and you got to go home

Still remember you and your car went away


And that was it


Actually, what you wanted to say? 

Actually, what you really wanted to ask? 

Was it really just a math book? 

With that effort and guts? 

With that finally-you can-asked-me-then-I-allowed-you-to-come-and-visit-me-directly-to-my-house, did the math book really matter?

IT WAS A FUCKING MATH BOOK


Well

It was just for a math book, right? 


Or

I was the one too naive? 

Too dumb? 


Well

It was just for a math book

Yes, for sure

Let's end it there
