got inspire from Wee Rainbow who's just posted a poem couple of days ago,
now i wanted to post one too! :D

I try to translated this simple poem into English, hopefully it can conveyed the real meaning as it's not written originally in English..

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana,

seperti kata-kata yang tak sempat terucapkan

oleh kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana,

Seperti isyarat yang tak sempat dikatakan
Oleh awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada.
( Aku Ingin, Sapardi Joko Damono)

the poem is about how a person wants to love someone in a really simple way,
just like the unsaid words from wood to the fire that turned it into ashes..
and just like the code that cant conveyed by clouds to the rain, that made it vanished.

i dont know why, but actually when i read this poem back then when im still in junior high at the literature class, somehow i cant help but feel pity. love is so beautifully tragic, isnt it?
well, just like life and every single great things in this world.. they can easily break or drown you when you let yourself in too much.
but as we got at least one purposed when we decided to get through it,
i think whatever the result is, there wouldnt be any regret.. and what's left is just our sincerity towards it.
