Kita Ada

Tak pernah diriku menyangka akan ada seseorang menyusuri relung jiwa. Menaburkan benih bahagia di sudut-sudut sunyi ini.  

Dia datang seperti embun pagi. Membelai lembut, semerbak harapan. Namun bayang-bayang takut mengintai, seperti awan kelabu menghimpit langit cerah.  

Kebahagiaan ini bagaikan sinar yang silau. Membakar jantungku. Tapi di balik nyala, ada angin dingin ketidakpastian yang merayap menyusup ke dalam jiwaku.  

Akankah semua ini hanya ilusi sementara?  
Seperti pasir yang mengalir di telapak tangan. Akankah dia pergi meninggalkan jejak kenangan yang terkurung dalam sepi?  

Setiap senyuman, ada keraguan. Setiap tawa, tersimpan hampa. Di sudut hati yang gelisah, takut kehilangan. Takut terbangun dari mimpi.  

Aku belajar merasakan meski terhalang ketakutan. Meski tak pasti berapa lama, aku akan mencintai setiap detik yang kau beri.  

Karena mungkin, bahagia yang kita miliki adalah keajaiban yang terlahir dari pertanyaan. Selamanya atau tidak, akan kita usahakan. Yang terpenting saat ini... kita ada. Bersama. Dalam pelukan waktu.

Forever and Ever

"Isn't this place magical?"   "It's because you're here," he replied.   ── ⊹ ࣪ ˖♡˖ ࣪ ⊹ ──   Ten years. Can you believe it? Ten summers, ten autumns, ten winters, and ten springs spent tangled in the warmth of your laugh and the electricity of your touch. It feels like yesterday we were teenagers. Sprawled under fairy lights that defied the calendar. Whispering promises under the watchful eye of a lopsided clock tower. No headline screams the secrets that we've bred. But in my soul, a star burns ever bright. Your gaze softens tonight, darling, lingering on the scattering of cinnamon dust across my nose. It’s a dizzying feeling. Something I don’t quite understand but desperately want to hold onto. Much like the scene straight out of a storybook. And here I am, living it with the boy who made my heart skip a beat every time he looks my way. All the nervousness I usually carry around just dissolves. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve known you forever, or if thi...

You can try all you want to dim my light, but you can't extinguish it. ***       Look, I get it. You're the big man on campus. But here's the thing: my life isn't some high school football game you can win by throwing shade. You want to call me a freak for walking in a parade? Newsflash: I was celebrating who I am. Something you wouldn't understand if it tackled you at practice.   Sure, your messages sting. Especially at 7 am. But you know what stings more? Hiding. Hiding who I am, who I like, because some jock with a fragile ego might not approve. Well, guess what? I'm done hiding.   This week at the dance is for me! It's not about proving anything to you. It's about celebrating myself with my friends who actually see me. They don't judge, they don't mock, they just get it. You can stand there in your little corner, fuming all you want. But I'll be out there, dancing like nobody's watching. Because guess what? Nobody is. Except maybe him...

Long Lonely Nights

The wind howled like a wounded beast. We sat in silence on that old, creaky bench. For a moment, it was just us and the fading light. The only sound was the rhythmic ticking of the clock, marking the passage of time. The somber palette of gold and crimson painted the endless sky. Your eyes held a melancholic depth.    My gaze drifted towards the celestial expanse. "Do you think the stars feel lonely up there?" My voice was barely audible.   You squeezed my hand as you vowed to make our forever last. But even in your comforting touch, I sensed the underlying fear.   "Soon, we'll be separated."   Oh, darling, I wish I could freeze this moment, preserve it in a jar. No worries, no goodbyes, just us and the quiet. But I know that's impossible. Life marches on, relentlessly and indifferent to our desires. Like petals succumbing to the relentless autumn wind, it was destined to scatter and fade.   This creeping sense of unease settled over me. A sigh escaped my l...
