He's still my favorite star.

But I've stepped out of his gravity.

There was a time
I thought I'd shine brighter
orbiting his.
As if light only made sense
when it came from his direction.

Maybe now,
I want to be the sea.
Or maybe dust.
A part of everything 
and owed to no one. 

Maybe a voice,
a line between letters.
Or a scent that lingers in the doorway,
long after I've left.

Maybe I just want to be human again.

Someone ordinary.
Someone allowed to feel joy
without apologizing for it.

Someone who still waits for good news
without bracing for the worst.
Who still hopes.
Who forgets,
and forgives herself, anyway.

I still look at the sky.
Mostly after dawn,
when everything is hushed,
and the prayers still hang in the air.

He's probably shining
somewhere else now.
He always belonged 
to a different sky
than the one I could reach.

And yes,
some nights I miss him
before I even realize I do.
And some mornings,
I still look for him
out of habit.
Glance upward
as if he'd still be there.

But I'm learning to walk
without asking the stars
if I'm allowed.

He's still the brightest star
I've ever known. 

And I guess I found him early
because I wasn't meant to keep him.

So maybe now,
I can stop orbiting
and become a sky of my own.

    hai kak, aku silent reader yang sudah membaca beberapa artikel. aku suka cara kamu menulis dan bagaimana menyampaikan perasaan secara visual. "how do you feel" saat kamu menulis semua ini? momen bahagia dan sedih mu itu tersampiakan.

    day by day kondisinya membaik kamu akan menemukan seseorang yang memilihmu dalam kondisi apapun. kamu merasa diterima dan layak dicinta. mungkin sudah tiba saatnya menangis bukan karna sedih yang selama ini kamu rasa--melainkan karena bahagia.

    aku pernah baca buku yang menuliskan;

    "momen semenyenangkan apapun enggak bisa diperlambat apalagi dihentikan, ia tetep terjadi dan akan berlalu

    momen semenyedihkan apapun, gak bisa dipercepat apalagi dilompati, ia tetep terjadi dan akan berlalu.

    terkadang waktu, kala, terus berjalan tanpa peduli perasaan kita"

    jika tuhan membawamu ke suatu perjalanan maka dia akan membantumu untuk melewatinya, anddd tuhan menghancurkan rencanamu agar rencanamu tidak menghancurkanmu. simple words yet have deep meaning.

    sejatinya cinta dan kenyamanan butuh waktu yang gak sembarangan.

    untuk segala sesuatu di kolong langit ini ada masanya.
    sudah dirancang sedemekian rupa dan merupakan rancangan yang sempurna.

    Tidak terlalu cepat.
    Tidak terlalu lambat
    Tepat.

    salam hangat, and cheer up. ;)

4 Tahun

4 tahun.  Lama juga, ya. Harusnya, satu tahun ke depan, kamu bakal banyak ngomel ke aku soal dosen pembimbing kamu, sebanyak aku ngeluh ke kamu soal Malang yang semakin macet, bensin mahal dan ngga ada Vivo. Aku juga kebayang kalo kita wisuda bareng. Nanti aku ke Bogor, terus gantian kamu ke Malang. Aku bakal bawa jas supaya kita bisa foto studio disana. Lucu kali, ya. Jadi inget waktu wisuda SMP, waktu aku masih dipelototin ayah kamu, tuh. Aku juga jadi inget waktu kita kelas 12 SMA. Belajar seharian sambil pesen makan. Kamu paling sebel kalo aku udah ketiduran. Terus, kamu bakal manggil mama supaya aku auto bangun dan belajar beneran. Ohiya, mama masih suka ngomongin kamu loh, Lan. Kamu sih, lulus duluan.  Hehe. Ngga banyak yang terjadi dari terakhir kali aku kesini, satu tahun yang lalu. Aku minta maaf ya, Lan, karena jarang pulang. Setelah lulus nanti, aku bakal cari kerja di Bogor, kok. Biar bisa ketemu kamu. Aku juga udah berhenti ngerokok loh, Lan. Pindah vape gapapa, y...

Maybe someday, or next week, I’ll finally forget you.

Because today, I still love you. Maybe it’s not even you anymore, but the version of you I kept safe in my head. Maybe that’s why the feeling still stays like they haven't heard the news. Because I keep thinking. Maybe you were just as lost, and just as hurt. That maybe the only reason we bled was because we didn’t know how else to hold our pain. And so the words we said only sounded like weapons. I keep thinking that someday, you’ll find answers you haven’t yet found the words for. And I once wondered: is it love when we believe in it, or is it love when we accept what it never was? I still don’t know. But I do know this: I still check in on you. Still care about things you won’t share. Still wonder about how your heart is doing today. So maybe not now. Because now, you still live somewhere in me. Even when you’ve long been gone. And maybe not yet. Because there are things I still want to write. Yours, I still want to hold space for. And this one thing I still want to say: I still...

I live alone, but I never feel lonely.

Because for as long as I can remember, he never left me by myself. Not even once. He always made sure to treat me gently, to care for my needs, completely. He never raised his voice. Never dismissed my hand. He took me to beautiful places, and to the ordinary ones that meant just as much. He stayed by my side. And when he couldn’t, he always found his way back to me. He remembered every little thing about me, and made sure I’d always say, “I’m happy.”  He was there. He always was. And I really am happy. But it was me who couldn’t believe he was mine. It was me who couldn’t stop thinking he’d leave someday. So I kept proving myself. Kept trying, hiding, shrinking. I lost myself, trying to prove my love for him. When all I ever needed was to love him back. I brought the wounds I never truly faced, believing that being with him could make everything easier. And it was. But the untreated, unaddressed ache became a heartless resistance, one thing he never, ever deserved. And...
