dia (malam buatku)

One night, a friend of mine came to my room, he took the guitar and he has 'that' look to my face. He tells me that he have a song for so long but up until now, he didn't have the lyric for it. I ask him, what is the songs about? He said he want a song for all the girls he ever loved. All the girlsss... hmmm.. he must be a lucky guy, but then, the word 'loved', that's surely hurts a lot. Technically, i don't believe that it is something that just live in the past, i believe that we all carry it forever, and so I took a pen, a piece of paper and start some writing...

Di balik awan, di balik malam, aku berdoa untukmu,
Datang mentari, dan bawaku pergi, namun engkau tetapku nanti,

Ku ambil cawan itu dan ku teguk airnya,
Namun dahaganya tak hilang,
Ku palingkan cermin kerna tiada bayang,
Jasad ini bukan lagi insan,

Aku hanya ingin menjemputmu,
Menemani dalam langkahmu,

Di balik awan, di balik malam, aku berdoa untukmu,
Datang mentari, dan bawaku pergi, namun engkau tetapku nanti,

Ku baringkan tubuh di pohon yang rendang,
Namun teriknya tetap mengigit,
Tubuh ini singgah melihat jendela,
waktu silam yang tak pernah ada,

Aku hanya ingin menjemputmu,
Menemani dalam langkahmu,

Di balik awan, di balik malam, aku berdoa untukmu,
Datang mentari, dan bawaku pergi, namun engkau tetapku nanti,

... and so, I ask my friend, is this what he had pictured in his mind, he tells me, it's perfect. and then, another one of my friend (who sings the songs) came and tell that this song is about a dead person. Later on, we recorded the song to contribute to his demo. Time flies and my friend tells me, his mother was caught singing that song while cooking, and another friend of mine, tells me, his brother was singing it in the shower. I take it as a good sign, it tells that, maybe i can write.


good night and sweet dream
