Yang Tersembunyi

Bunga Kota

Bahwa segala sesuatu itu bisa saja berubah. Waktu mengubah segalanya kecuali perubahan itu sendiri. Juga dengan perasaan-perasaan kita yang sifatnya bisa sementara. Kita tak pernah menangis sepanjang waktu atau sebaliknya tertawa setiap saat. Selalu bergantian. Atau bahkan beriringan. Tangisan pudar oleh tawa. Tawa hilang oleh tangisan-tangisan. Kita tak selalu tahu dari mana dan ke mana perginya semua perasaan sesaat itu.

Di balik itu semua, ada yang tersembunyi untuk kita pelajari demi meraih yang terbaik dalam perubahan. Sesuatu itu tanpa sadar kita cari-cari selama ini. Sesuatu itu adalah secercah ketenangan hati dalam segala situasi.--

Di Suatu Tempat

Sebenarnya aku ingin menangis saja. Berteriak
sekuatnya; memanggil-manggil namamu.
Tapi kau tak ada dihadapanku. Yang kulihat hanya
daun yang terjatuh.

Ternyata angin yang lembut saja bisa menghempasku.
Apalagi hujan badai? Aku lemah.

Sebenarnya aku ingin menangis saja. Berteriak
sekuatnya; tapi aku tak bisa.

Di kursi taman ini, sebenarnya,
selalu; Aku menantimu.

Because You Loved Me




For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
