A Scribble and A Dream (60) - Comfortable Distance

Don't leave me:( | Heart broken photography, Dancing in the rain ... 
COMFORTABLE DISTANCE

"Darling, love", I heard some said
"Love with compassion"

Reach out and show it up
Connect and close that gap

Love, and pour out your heart
For love is so strong
Stirring up the soul

But here I am
Trembling
Afraid of the fire
That burns and hurts

No more, no more
Don't wanna see the tears
Falling silently in solitude
Again

So I've stopped hoping
Stopped expecting
And learned to be content

I'm keeping
This comfortable distance
With you

Amidst a thousand of unsaid
"How are you?"
And a myriad of
Untold wishes and desires

To see you
To hear your voice
To just be there with you

Ain't it weird?
Ain't it awkward?

But I'm content
Standing here, watching you from afar

So I'm keeping
This comfortable distance with you
Telling you tales you would never hear
Under the dark starry sky

A Scribble and A Dream (59) - Hujan di Siang Hari

The Afternoon Rain II by IsacGoulart on DeviantArt
HUJAN DI SIANG HARI

Aku tak suka.
Tak suka hujan di siang hari.

Kala rintik-rintik menembus terik.
Dan cuaca pun segalau manusia.
Mau panas, mau dingin, sesukanya.
Tak jelas tingkah dan maunya.

Seperti kamu, mereka, dan aku.
Yang hati akalnya sering kena diobrak abrik.

Sudahlah, kita menunggu.
Kalau pelangi masih mau mampir lagi.
Membelah langit hangat abu-abu
Sehabis hujan di siang hari.

A Scribble and A Dream (58) - Missing Someone, Kinda Badly

I Miss You" Quotes By LoveWishesQuotes
~ MISSING SOMEONE, KINDA BADLY ~
 
Hi, how are you doing? Are you missing someone?
You do, right? Kinda badly, everytime you think of her, your chest tighten.
And you felt like you hit a wall. Don't know what to say, or to ask.
You find yourself missing talking to her as like in the past.
Imagining how maybe only seeing her could make your heart leap in happiness like crazy.

Are you obsessed with her? Maybe no, since it shouldn't be like that.
It's just that, you missed her, as one of those friend with whom you can talk to and sing to until late at night.

And, you're not sure how she'll react if you told her, "I miss you" since it sounds so sentimental. And, well, sentimental doesn't sound right. But she has her sentimental side though, and a deep, deep one at that.
You've seen it in some rare circumstances up to a few months ago.

Well, you're pretty much afraid if she's going to, unintentionally, seem as if she rejects you. Unintentionally, since most of the time, that's not the case.

It's just that, both of you are such heavy introverts at this time, it's funny.
And vexing at the same time.

She could be busy, or is dealing with pain due to her autoimmunity, or is in other ordeal.
 Your mind keeps telling you not to get anxious, and it goes in circle, over and over.

"What am I, to her? Just some acquaintance? Or, a not-so-close friend?"
"Hey girl, does that even matter? So what if you're just an acquaintance or not-so-close friend to her? Both of you have your own inner circles, don't you?"
"Beware of getting attached again to somebody. Being clingy is not good! Don't fall into the same trap hoping the same thing like you did in the past with that guy!"
"You know what, hoping wouldn't get you anywhere. If anything, it would only disappoint you."

You feel your mind getting crazier and crazier the more you write. And you hate yourself being like this.
 
Since you only want one thing. Perhaps, more than anything, even more than a lover.

You only want a close friend. Someone you can proudly call "inner circle" since you know it is reciprocal.
 
A not-one-sided connection is all you ever wanted.

And denying yourself that kind of assurance, is weighing heavily in your mind and heart.
Since you know, most likely, that's not how the other person operates.

So, how should you approach this? Should you contact her and blatantly tell her, "I miss you."?

A Scribble and A Dream (57) - Mabuk dalam Biru

40 Download: Forest Path HD Wallpaper 1409 :: Forest Path Hd ...
MABUK DALAM BIRU

Tatapan kosong.
Nanar, tiada sinar cahaya.
Cuma redup sendu sayu saja.
Diselubung lembut sapa bulan biru.

Langkah terseret, berhenti.
Di hadapannya, dunia lapis lazuli.
Dalam dirinya.
Dalam semesta kalbunya.

"Kau, yang terus berlari, berlari ...
Dalam hiruk pikuk dunia.
Apa kau cari?
Tempatmu berpulang?
Penerimaan anak manusia?"

"Berjalan, berjalan saja.
Belum puaskah lamunan konyolmu?
Tak perlulah berharap
Pada yang tak seharusnya kau harapkan."

"Karena penerimaan bukan upah sejati.
Itu bayaran fana dan semu.
Bukankah, kau harusnya cukup punya dirimu?
Tegak tegar di atas batu karang keteguhan misimu?"

Dan jejaknya berlanjut menjauh.
Sempoyongan di tengah senandung.
Malam ini, sedikit lagi, sebentar lagi saja.
Ditenggaknya melankoli haru biru yang memabukkan itu.
