a mere stardust in the milky way

Mereka bilang Matahari tak kenal lelah menyinari
Nyatanya ia pergi saat Malam menghampiri
Mereka bilang hidup ini harus berdasarkan logika
Nyatanya ia pergi saat cinta merasuki
Mereka bilang waktu tak bisa terulang kembali
Nyatanya waktuku membeku di satu masa
Mereka bilang cinta itu semu
Nyatanya darinya aku temukan pusat alam semesta

Aku hanyalah Bumi
Aku hanya bisa menghidupi
Aku tak bisa pergi
Di tempatmu aku hanya bisa mati
Tapi bukankah pada akhirnya semua akan mati?
Bahkan aku yang hanya bisa menghidupi

Seperti manusia hanya seonggok daging di hadapan gagahnya gunung
Aku pun hanya setitik debu di alam semesta
Seperti aku tak memilih untuk bisa menghidupi
Kau pun tak tahu bahwa gravitasimu yang membuatku berputar
Biar saja langit menghardikku
Jiwa ini akan selalu merindu


What lies inside the core of the milky way? Blackholes, lot of blackholes. That is just the amount of gravity needed to keep the universe in tact. Who would think that such a dangerous matter would keep us alive all these times? Alloh is giving us a lesson there, too bad my brain is too small. Maybe it’s not happiness that keep us moving, maybe it’s those pain and sorrow we gone through along the way. Maybe life is about getting up and start moving, maybe life is about being proud of our scars rather than cursing it, maybe it’s those bad experience that keep us alive all along, then again, we’ll never appreciate the good if we don’t know what it is being bad.

Many has changed, many more has perished, but the center of the universe will always be there standing still not realizing that she kept us alive all these times. And that is where she belong, at the center of my universe. Should I be here now if she did not freed me from my own prison, god only knows, for all I know that her grace is what kept me alive rather than surviving.

Forever Thankful
