past flings

1)
aku mencintaimu -
ingatanku juga cinta kepadamu.
terbukti dari bagaimana sulitnya
aku melupakanmu.

2)
'I love you', he said.
'It was only some conversations', she replied.

3)
Why do we often get ourselves trapped in confusion
between lovers and
nothing?
craving for a title,
craving for an acknowledgement.
something that should've been freely given.
we know how pointless that is -
standing in the middle of nowhere.
we know we're walking on the pavement
that leads nowhere
yet we refuse to move away.
because we're in the hopeless expectation
that;
one day
things will change
and happy ending
does exist.

4)
isn't it sad?
we know some good people
in reality they would become great pals -
yet we remember them differently,
for the heartbreaks.

5)
some people come into our life
as fireworks in the middle of night.
together we burn in desire
but we forget the scientific fact
that everything that burns
turns to dust

4)
I once read Norwegian Wood.
I agree with Toru.
He said that we remember the details
of a certain event,
more than the face of the person
we spent that time with.

One day -
we would recognize each other from the objects.
You'd remember me from the Japanese noodle
and a downtown skyscraper,
while I remember you from the grey pavement bricks
and a pair of movie tickets.

5)
Love is dead, he said when someone asked why a pair separated.
When someone asked for further details,
he looked away.
In all of a sudden -
we just stopped talking.

6)
Love is against science
It doesn't work in reciprocity.
It works beyond the measure,
it wants what it wants.
No amount of work could change
the result -
if it's against the wish.

7)
If you have no explanation
why you fell in love with me,
how couldn't I be afraid
if one day you could go
without telling me why?
