huh...hidup ini
Belakangan ini saya baru saja mendapatkan informasi baru mengenai twinsoul yang infonya sudah saya posting ke dalam blog ini (walaupun tidak muat semua kalimatnya, aneh yah...kenapa juga coba). Saya dapatkan dari salah satu teman saya, dimana singkat cerita, dia sedang berada di dalam posisi tersebut. Dan akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk membaca keseluruhan isi artikel tersebut. Wah info yang tidak terlalu baru bagi saya, hanya saja semakin menguatkan info yang lama pernah (rasanya) saya dapatkan dulu (dulu banget...).
Pengalaman dia sangat mencengangkan, dan membuat saya kembali memikirkan apa tiu arti cinta. Apakah saya sudah 'mencintai' pasangan saya saat ini atau .... saya rasa harus sampai di sini dulu, saya belum kuat untuk melanjutkannya...

Twin Soul
TWIN SOUL "And when one of them meets with his other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight even for a moment." Plato The moment your soul was created it possessed male-female, ying-yang polarity and energy. God's love for you made sure that these two complimentary forms of consciousness, the masculine and feminine, would be bound together throughout eternity. The two halves of one soul have been called twin souls, twin vibrations, twin rays or twin flames. Said another way, you only have one twin aspect of your soul in the entire universe who vibrates at the same frequency of light that you do. This is quite an awesome thought. However, the story is a bit more involved than this simple explanation. Soon after our souls were created we left the joy and bliss of the Absolute to enter and experience the physical universe, in which we currently find ourselves. Originally we were ONE complete soul, one family, one Being. There was no separation, just complete joy and unspeakable bliss. However, when we left the Absolute to enter our universe of duality and opposites, all of that changed. The ONE Soul, which was originally whole, began to separate and divide itself into smaller and smaller fragments of Itself over the ages. This occurred so that we could eventually relate to one another as races, nations, and families or as individuals while in the physical universe of opposites. As the splitting of the ONE occurred, relationships were born. And it is through relationships that we create opportunities to know ourselves, to remember our divine origin, to seek reunion and oneness with one another and eventually return to our Source. The twin relationship plays a very important role in all of this, as part of the divine, cosmic plan. Over the ages, and throughout our many lifetimes, the experiences and feelings of separation constantly reminded us of our yearning and craving for completion with our Source and with our twin. That inner hunger for wholeness is why we search for romance and relationship. That is why we have families. That also is why we seek God. We are trying to re-create the same oneness we felt in the beginning. At some magical moment in cosmic time, each of us will reach a point during our personal growth and evolution where separation is no longer the path of choice for us. The signal that would ignite the experience of soul reunion would be our spiritual awakening. In the process, we would also remember and realize that we are divine Beings of Light. Awakening to our true spiritual nature takes us on a inner journey that leads to the opposite of separation, which is reunion. As you can well imagine, reunion brings with it feelings of love, joy, bliss and ecstasy. At that moment, the soul begins to crave oneness with its Source. Part of this hunger will be satisfied by reunion with our twin. From what I read, this is when the journey home to our Source begins in earnest. Our spiritual awakening will eventually inspire us to question, and then cause us to discard, the false beliefs we have about traditional relationships, which are primarily ego driven and fear based. We will discover that, in order to have a lasting, fulfilling and meaningful partnership, the positive energy of unconditional love will have to replace the negative influence of the ego. Once twins begin to think and feel this way they are setting the stage for reunion. And once reunited, the twins will still have to work at their relationship to make it a lasting and rewarding one. Twin reunion by itself does not guarantee happiness. It simply sets the stage for it. Bringing a powerful spiritual awareness and a strong sense of Self into a newfound twin reunion will provide the sustenance and glue for its balance and longevity. Another very important step prior to reunion is the need for balancing the masculine and feminine energies within each of us. The masculine half has always retained some of the original feminine energy that the soul possesses, while the feminine half still holds onto a part of the masculine essence it once was united with. Since that time, we have roamed around in this incomplete, unbalanced state of being looking for soul completion. We'll continue to experience life after life and relationship after relationship until we decide we've had enough separation from our other half and want something more fulfilling. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that it is very easy to fall in love with the "picture" of the twin soul concept and be blinded by all that it promises. That has to be brought into proper focus and balance. Another danger is over-idealizing and hyper-romanticizing your partner and your relationship to the point where you believe you will live happily ever after regardless of what the future brings. That is not true. Depending upon one's level of spiritual development, twin souls can have varying degrees of ego issues just as other partners do. Over many lifetimes soul mate relationships prepare us for lasting twin reunion. They are a very important part of the process and should be blessed as such. Most often, soul mate unions will last longer and be more rewarding than the electrifying, but often stormy, twin pairings. Twin soulship is a very highly charged partnership and the two must be spiritually ready for it to last. When they are, their union will transcend all others. Below is very useful information from various sources about twin souls... Plato The twin-soul concept is not new. Plato described it 2,500 years ago. Here is an excerpt... "and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight even for a moment... It seems that when each of us separated into our male and female halves long ago, the soul knew, and still knows, that the rejoining of its incomplete self would inevitably take place. It was part of the divine plan. After that agonizing and painful division occurred, a deep-seated yearning for oneness began to linger within each of us and the desire for reunion and completeness has endured over the ages. Only one other in the entire universe can satisfy it. As a result, we are constantly searching for our twin. But the desire for completion doesn't stop there. And the soul also realizes this. What the soul really wants is not only reunion with itself through twin half union, but the original feeling of ONEness it had with God at the very beginning of creation. This craving for the original intimacy will not stop until it is fully satisfied. We have as long as we want to make it happen. But it will happen. The Sufis Plato is not the only individual who has given us insights into twin soul relationships. Spiritual writings from the Sufis 800 years ago say that... "Out of the original unity of being there is a fragmentation and dispersal of beings, the last stage being the splitting of one (twin) soul into two. And consequently, love is the search by each half for the other half on earth or in heaven... Sri Aurobindo and the Mother From time to time, God sends humanity advanced souls who not only teach a better way, but live it as well. So it was with two extraordinary, twin soul avatars, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, both of whom where in body during the 1900s. From a heavenly realm, they descended into our midst and took on male and female forms to help us in our hour of need. Sri Aurobindo often said that he and the Mother, who could communicate telepathically with one another, were one soul in two bodies. They came to spread the male (Shiva) and female (Shakti) energy on our planet and serve as an example of service for all future twin souls. Here are some excerpts from a book titled, Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo, that will shed some light on this remarkable twin union. "To both of them, the other's word was law. One of us observed that only two persons have realized and put into practice Sri Aurobindo's Yoga of surrender: the Mother surrendering to surrendering to Sri Aurobindo and Sri Aurobindo to the Mother." "The two who are one are the secret of all power, the two who are one are the might and right in things." The Mother has said, "Without him, I exist not; without me he is unmanifest." "And we were given the unique opportunity of witnessing the dual personality of the One enacting on our earth-plane an immortal drama, rare in the spiritual history of man." "The two consciousnesses were one so that when Sri Aurobindo met with the accident, the Mother felt at once the vibration in her sleep." "He followed closely all her outer activities and enveloped her with an aura of protection against the dark forces." Edgar Cayce Even Edgar Cayce, the wonderful "sleeping prophet," also spoke about twin souls. He tells us that, in the beginning, the "male and female were as in one." In his historical description of Atlantis, Cayce says that as long as several hundred thousands of years ago... "there lived in this land of Atlantis one Amillius, who had first noted the separations of the beings as inhabited that portion of the earth's sphere or plane of these peoples, into male and female as separate entities or individuals." Even more remarkably, in the book Edgar Cayce's Story of Jesus, (pages 27-28) he says, while in trance, that Jesus and Mary (his mother 2,000 years ago) were twin souls... "... you see, in the beginning, Mary was the twin soul of the Master in the entrance into the earth!" Just recently I was listening to a tape by John Van Auken, Executive Director of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, (the Edgar Cayce Foundation). In that tape, a woman mentions to Mr. Van Auken that Edgar Cayce seemed to have many lives as a man. "Is that typical" she asks? Mr. Van Auken replied that if your root essence is male, then most of the times you will come back as a male, but you will also have some lives as a female, and vice versa. However, here is what Mr. Auken said about Gladys, the woman who transcribed over 14,000 readings for Edgar Cayce, when he went into trance during his most recent lifetime... "His feminine side was going through here at the same time... she was his stenographer, his helper in building the mission and fulfilling the work... it says (in the Cayce readings) that when he comes back as the Liberator in 2158, they'll come back united, they'll be together, we will see an androgynous expression (of Cayce and Gladys)." I contacted Mr. Van Auken about this reading to find out if he was saying that these two individuals, who have shared many lives together, are twin souls. His answer was, "Yes, they are twin souls." Children of the Gods In an obscure book, Children of the Gods (a difficult read for me), the author, A. B. Curtis, writes about his grandfather archeologist who, in 1929, returned from an expedition to a sacred Mayan temple where he experienced an unusual preternatural vision. In that vision, cosmic beings revealed many things to him, including the following brief insight about twin souls... "Wherefore, each single thing becomes two opposites; The first division would be man himself, Eileen Caddy Eileen Caddy is the co-founder of the Findhorn Foundation. Her remarkable and inspirational life story was told in the book, Flight Into Freedom. This is what she had to say about twin souls. Keep in mind that she received many messages and visions from God throughout her life, which was a constant test of faith in order to help her evolve spiritually... "I recalled a vision I had been given back in 1974 just when the first cracks were appearing in my relationship with Peter: I was taken to the beginning of time when humans were etheric beings with bodies of light. Peter and I were in one light body. Then I saw us split in two, and Peter wandered his way and I wandered mine. My being became denser and denser, and I lived through lifetime after lifetime of tremendous suffering, pain and anguish. I wandered searching for something I had lost but I did not know what it was. I was a lost soul. Peter and I may have been brought together from time to time, but we did not recognize each other. Then I was brought into this lifetime and God said: 'Now is the time. I have brought you together to do a very specific work for me'..." St. Germain Here are some answers and thoughts by the Master, St. Germain. They give more insight into the subject of twin souls and how we attract our other half... Q. Are twin flames more like a companion of the soul? Q. Are many twin flames coming together now in this A. Of course, because many Christ-consciousnesses St Germain continues... "Within your male (twin) soulmate energy essence, there abides a certain frequency that is indeed identical to the same frequency found in the female (twin) soulmate energy essence... there are identical frequencies existing in the opposite bodies of energy, and these you call twin flames." "Now, experiencing Christ-Consciousness within yourself, loving unconditionally that which you are as you exist and abide in your reality at this point in time, creates the resonance within your being that attracts the identical essence within the opposite body of soul energy. It calls it forth and merges with your energy and you with it." Kryon Another Spirit called Kryon (brought through by Lee Carroll) is known all over the world. Believe it or not, Kryon has made 3 appearances before a subcommittee of the United Nations. Kryon has this to say about soulmates and twin flames...
Dear ones, the love of appropriate twin flames or soulmates who have presented themselves synchronistically in your life is one of the highest loves between human beings. It can be between children and parents, or romantically between partners." A Dweller on Two Planets Another interesting mention of twin flames comes from a book called, A Dweller on Two Planets. This book was written and published by Frederick S. Oliver in 1886. The author claimed he transcribed its contents under the direction of a spiritual being called Phylos the Tibetan. It covers many subjects including reincarnation, Atlantis, the human soul and other mystical concepts. Interestingly, at one point in the book, Phylos describes a dialogue between himself and his twin, Phyris, when they knew each other before planet Earth didn't even exist. Here is an excerpt that Phyris gave to her twin, Phylos... "Each man we see, except those who have been transfigured, is but a semi-ego, and each woman the same - two of these having one spirit. When the perfection time cometh, all the halves shall unite, each with its own - and lo! this is the marriage made in heaven. But first comes the Trial - the Crisis of Transfiguration." Shirley MacLaine In the early 1980s, Shirley MacLaine described her profound spiritual awakening in a book called, Out on a Limb. I have always admired her courage in describing her experience because she had everything to lose and nothing to gain by going public with it. Since then, millions of people have benefited from her books and speaking engagements. When Ms. MacLaine was going through the early part of her spiritual awakening, she had a private session with Kevin Ryerson, who was well-known for his ability to channel several different discarnate spirits including one called John. During the session, which was taped recorded, one of the spirits told Ms. MacLaine several things, which only she could know. Supported by these revelations she asked the spirit, John, about her past lives and someone whom she was having a love affair with. Part of the answers given by John concerned twin souls and soul mates. Interestingly John reverses the definition of the soul mate and twin soul phrases, as I understand them and how they have been described within this web page. However, it does not diminish the concept that each of us has another half. Here is the dialogue between Ms. MacLaine and "John"... "So, who was I in my previous lives?" "According to the Akashic Records, you were incarnate with a twin soul." "Oh, what exactly is a twin soul?" "That question takes a great deal of explanation which I will endeavor to accomplish later. For now, let me begin by explaining soul mates." "Soul Mates?" I asked. I had heard the term from time to time, usually in reference to people who said they had found their other half. "Soul mates," John continued, "were actually created for one another at the beginning of time, or what you call at the moment of the Big Bang. They vibrate at exactly the same electromagnetic frequency because they are identical counterparts of one another. Twin souls are more common to find because they have experienced many lifetimes together in one form or another. But soul mates were actually created at the beginning of time as pairs who belonged together... So you see, there is more to your Big Bang theory than you imagine... and quite romantic at that, wouldn't you say?" Messages from Heaven I recently read a wonderful book titled, Messages from Heaven, by Patricia Kirmond. The author is a woman whose husband passed away at the age of 80, during April of 1995. Shortly after his death, he contacted his wife, to whom he was married for over 50 years, and gave her many messages over a 3-year period. Some of those insights concerned their twin soul relationship, as well as other references to the twin flame concept... "Several months after his death my husband told me that we were twin flames, individual souls who were created together in the beginning as one spirit." "I think that if any aspect of the violet flame is neglected, it is the flame of opportunity which Portia, St. Germain's twin flame, sponsors." "People feel that finding their twin flame - their divine counterpart who was conceived out of the same white-fire of God - is the answer. But really, finding your true self and resolving your psychology is the greatest gift you can give to your twin flame." "Ascended twin flames cannot interfere with the free will of their counterparts who are still in embodiment... The twin flame longs for the return and the victory of the divine compliment, but not in any human sense... The one in embodiment may feel a profound loneliness, a sense that something cannot be found on this earth. This one can be married and still sense that something intangible is missing. The solution is to become the Christ, to fulfill your dharma. For every act of good and love you render others, you serve your twin flame as well." "Everyone seems to search for a twin flame in embodiment. It is important to remember that many twin flames are ascended, waiting for their divine counterparts to join them. The best favor you can offer your twin flame is your willingness to face and conquer your human self." "If your twin flame is ascended, you are never alone." "The twin flame is far more apt to find you or appear to you if you place the (spiritual) path before all else." Brian Weiss, M.D. Dr. Weiss, a highly renowned psychiatrist and graduate of Yale Medical School, has written several books, the most notable being, Many Lives, Many Masters and Only Love is Real. The former book has sold more than 2 million copies and has been translated into 26 different languages. Based upon his extensive research and experiences, Dr. Weiss also believes in the concept of twin souls and soul mates. Here are two answers to questions asked of him in his web site... "Do we have twin soulmates? I do think we have a twin soulmate but (twin) soulmates are not always in body at the same time. This does not mean other relationships are not very important for learning. What if my (twin) soul mate is no longer in my life? Having a (twin) soul mate connection does not mean that one is obligated to spend a lifetime together. One has many (non-twin) soul mates in one's lifetime. Often when the lessons to be learned in the relationship are completed, the relationship has a natural ending and the two souls move on. Also, there are many types of love and many types of soul relationships. Romantic love is only one of these types." ~~~ All of the above information supports the notion that a separation of twin souls occurred at some point during our distant past. Since that time, we've apparently lost our way in this material world and are trying to remember who we really are and reconnect with our other soul-half. When we do, our cosmic adventure within the universe can continue where it left off ages ago. Even though our efforts to live it may not be at the level of a Master at this time, we need to be well on our way towards doing so or the twin relationship will suffer. In short, unconditional love is the magical ingredient for building a twin relationship and making it work. Resisting that effort will be the ego, which is the relationship ender. In essence, twin souls can just be their open, honest selves with minimal influence from the ego. And as each conflict resolves, the bond of love between them takes on renewed meaning and strength. Chances are you've met through a set of unusual circumstances that were totally unplanned and unexpected. There is a powerful, instantaneous feeling that you have known the other before. You felt an immediate and deep connection for one another. There is an electrifying feeling between the two of you that words cannot describe. The relationship is immediate, as though no time had been lost since you were last together. It feels as though you had never really lived before the reunion occurred. You feel a deep sense of sacredness and unity with God that you've have never known before. It brings on feelings you never thought possible. The two of you are inseparable. When you look into each other's eyes, time and space have no meaning. There are no barriers between the two of you. The relationship is a totally open one. Your conversations seem to go on forever. The two of you have a strong urge to serve humanity in a deep and meaningful way. You give to the other and never think of receiving in return. There is a special sacredness to your relationship that transcends anything you've ever experienced before. You still have karma with your twin from previous lives, but the two of you resolve it all with total forgiveness and unconditional love. Neither one of you are dependent on the other for your sense of self. There is a strong sense of unlimitedness eternity to your feelings. Your feelings for each other are very spiritual. There are no restrictions within the relationship. All is freedom without the need for ownership or control. The two of you know without doubt that you have been brought together for a reason. You do not compete with one another nor do you pretend to be other than who you are. In spite of your sameness, there is no doubt you feel a sense of completion through the other. Trust, patience and acceptance of each other's weaknesses happen automatically. There is a great sense of purpose and meaning to the relationship. Your sexuality with one another is a sacred act that celebrates the unconditional love you have for one another. The two of you become more and more one, without losing your individual identities. When you look into the other's eyes, you see yourself. You experience a sense of completeness that is without comparison. The degree of intimacy and friendship the two of you develop is without parallel. You recognize that the two of you are Godmates. There is no doubt that some of the symptoms described above are also common to soul mate relationships. What really sets the twin soul union apart from all the rest is the profound degree of completeness experienced and the overwhelming sense of spirituality unique to these partnerships. Two other powerful symptoms of spiritually mature twins is their powerful connection to God and their desire to serve humanity in some meaningful way. In closing, I want to emphasize that anyone who exposes themselves to these basic thoughts on soul mates and twin souls do so with a sense of caution. My thoughts and the writings of others mentioned herein are meant to create a sense of wonder. Please review the resource materials for this topic in this site. And always reach your own final decisions on this or any other spiritual subject by going to your heart for the final answers. It will never lie to you. The real God made it that way. If you'd like to watch an excellent movie that describes the profoundness of the twin soul union and the passion for soul completion when two twins meet, rent the movie, Somewhere in Time, with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve.

Speeding
Girl: Slow down. Im scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, its to scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug. (Girl hugs him)
Guy: Can u take my helmet off and put it on? Its bugging me.
In the paper the next day:
A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on the motorcycle, but only one survived.
The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know.
Instead, he had her say she loved him, felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so she would live even though it meant he would die.
TOUCHING LOVE STORY

cinta sesaat
begitu juga dengan diriku
apakah memang kita ditakdirkan untuk bersama
atau hanya karena sebuah kebetulan belaka
entah mengapa aku menemukan dirimu
dan aku menemukan segalanya
segalanya yang selama ini aku cari
dan tidak kutemukan di tempat lain
aku begitu terpaku pada penderitaanku
dan ternyata kau pun sedang menderita
apakah ini sebuah takdir bagi kita
ataukah hanya karena kebetulan
mata ini tidak lagi memandangmu
mata ini sudah menerawang dirimu
jauh ke dalam relung hatimu
mengukir kenangan baru untukku
apakah benar ini yang kurasakan
bahwa aku menemukanmu
untuk mengisi segala kekosongan
yang selama ini selalu mengganggu
katakan padaku bahwa ini tidak nyata
kalau memang ini bukanlah suatu takdir
karena aku terlanjur suka padamu
ketika matamu memandang dalam hatiku
mengapa kau buka pintu hatimu
di saat aku mencari sebuah tempat
tempat untuk menghindar dari segalanya
dan di saat itu kau pun hadir
haruskah aku menolak rasa ini
rasa yang makin lama semakin indah
rasa yang mengalir kuat dalam darahku
rasa yang menggelora dan menggebu-gebu
hentikan aku...
bunuhlah rasa cintaku padamu
karena aku tahu ini hanya sementara
akan tetapi aku tak lagi perduli
teriakkan kepadaku kata-kata pahit
bahwa ini hanyalah mimpi
dan aku harus bangun dari tidurku
agar aku tak terlena terlalu lama
kau begitu mempesona
ketika hati ini serasa hampa
kau hadir di dalam hati ini
ketika aku tak lagi memiliki rasa
kau menyentuh bagian itu
ketika hati ini tak lagi berasa
ketika hati ini tak lagi mencinta
ketika kau datang pada saat itu
aku tak berdaya menolak kuatnya cinta
aku tak sanggup membendung rasa ini
aku tak mau melewatkan kesempatan ini
aku tak mau bangun dari mimpi indah
tolong...
tolong jangan bangunkan aku dari tidur
biarkan aku tidur untuk sesaat
bahkan kalau perlu...selamanya
aku mendapatkan apa yang kucari dalam dirinya
aku menemukan apa yang hilang selama ini
sesuatu yang tidak pernah kurasa
sesuatu yang akan selalu kukenang abadi
salahkah hati ini yang menerimanya
menerima kebaikan hatinya padaku
ataukah aku hanya salah menangkap
semua maksud perlakuannya padaku
aku melihat senyum itu begitu tulus
aku tahu itu bukan milikku
tetapi entah mengapa...
aku merasa ini diberikan untukku
salahkah aku bila menyambut keramahanmu
salahkah aku bila memasukkan hatiku
ke dalam semua kenangan sesaat ini
yang bahkan aku tak mengerti maksudnya
kalau memang ini salah
berarti ini kesalahan yang terindah
bahwa aku meminjam hatimu
dari sang pemilik sebenarnya
kalau memang ini salah
berarti aku memang sedang bermimpi
berharap untuk tak lagi bangun
dari setiap kenangan yang terbentuk
awalnya kurasa biasa saja
akan tetapi aku tak kuasa menipu diri
ketika kurasakan gejolak ini
mendapatkan sebuah tanggapan lembut
siapa yang salah
aku atau dia
hatiku atau hatinya
ketika kami berdua saling menyatu
tunjukka padaku
kalau memang benar ini salah
dimana letak kesalahannya
ketika hati kami sudah terpaut
dosakah yang kami lakukan
dosakah membentuk sebuah kasih
meski kami tahu kami tak saling memiliki
meski kami tahu kami ada yang memiliki
semoga kasih ini abadi meski tak sempurna
semoga hati ini saling memiliki
meski raga tak lagi memiliki
semoga...
inspired by the love story of my friend! hope you guys found your new love that is really meant for you both! >.<
Build Me a Son
Build me a son, O Lord,
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face him self when he is afraid;
one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,
and humble and gentle in victory.
Build me a son whose wishbone will not be
where his backbone should be;
a son who will know Thee- and that
to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.
Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort,
but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge.
Here, let him learn to stand up in the storm;
here, let him team compassion for those who fall.
Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goals will be high;
a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men;
one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep;
one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.
And after all these things are his,
add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor,
so that he may always be serious,
yet never take himself too seriously.
Give him humility, so that he may always remember
the simplicity of true greatness,
the open mind of true wisdom,
the meekness of true strength.
Then I, his father, will dare to whisper,
"I have not lived in vain."

Kau pernah ada
tapi kini kau serasa menjauh
jauh pergi meninggalkanku
dalam ketermenungan dan kesepian
kupikir aku telah menemukan seseorang
seseorang yang memahami dan mengerti aku
tetapi ternyata aku salah menduga
dugaan itu terlalu awal dan terasa bodoh
pernah kukira aku menemukanmu
untuk mengisi kekosongan di hati
tetapi itu semua kemudian berubah
ketika aku bukan seperti yang kau harapkan
entah bagaimana membuatmu mengerti
bahwa aku ingin menjadikanmu seorang yang berarti bagiku
namun bukan berarti aku harus memilikimu
bukan berarti aku tidak mau memilikimu
kau dan aku berbeda
tetapi bukankah itu yang membentuk suatu hubungan
ketika kau melengkapi aku
dan aku melengkapimu
namun ternyata banyak sekali halangan
bahkan hanya sekedar menyampaikan rasa
sekedar mengungkapkan isi hati
ketika itu semua harus menjadi apa yang kau harapkan
aku mungkin tak mengertimu
tetapi aku mau mencoba untuk mengertimu
akankah kau mengijinkanku
membuka hatimu dan mengenalku
pernahkah kau membuka hatimu
menerima bahwa aku ada
dan membiarkan aku masuk
ke dalam pikiran dan hatimu
kurasa itu sulit
setidaknya itu yang kurasakan
karena aku tak lagi berdaya
berupaya memahami dirimu
andaikan aku masih diberikan kekuatan
aku ingin mengenalmu
dan benar-benar mengenalmu
serta mencoba sekali lagi untuk memahamimu
aku tak pernah tahu begitu sulit
untuk membuka diri pada orang lain
dan memberikan kepercayaan
kepada orang lain menjadi suatu beban
mungkin akupun seperti itu
hanya saja aku yang tidak menyadarinya
setidaknya katakan padaku
tunjukkan dimana letak kesalahanku
aku tidak mencari teman yang sempurna
karena aku memang tidak sempurna
aku membutuhkanmu untuk melengkapiku
mengisi kekosongan yang ada di jiwa ragaku
aku tidak menuntut kau memahamiku
tapi maukah kau setidaknya mencoba?
mencoba mengerti temanmu yang tak sempurna ini
mencoba memahami segala tindakanku
aku mencoba untuk selalu ada dan berada
mencoba menjadi teman yang baik bagimu
tetapi tampaknya itu salah
karena sepertinya caraku tidak berhasil
kau tak membuka siapa dirimu
dan tak mengijinkan aku mengenalmu
bahkan untuk mengetahui siapa dirimu
yang sebenar-benarnya
mungkin kesalahan ini ada padaku
karena ku tak mau menyalahkanmu
aku yang terlalu memaksa
untuk mengenalmu
aku tahu kini
bahwa aku bukan seseorang yang penting
dan tidak akan pernah menjadi penting
di dalam kehidupanmu
setidaknya aku pernah mencoba
untuk memasuki kehidupanmu
tetapi aku rasa aku gagal
setidaknya untuk saat ini
kalau suatu saat nanti
kau merasa membutuhkanku
membutuhkan seseorang untuk sekedar ada
untuk menyapamu dan menghiraukanmu
aku bersedia menjadi orang itu
aku tak perduli apa pun itu
aku akan selalu berusaha
memberikan yang terbaik bagimu
mungkin aku tak sempurna
mungkin aku tak sesuai
dengan apa yang menjadi harapanmu
tetapi aku mau berusaha
mungkin hanya waktu yang tidak tepat
waktu dimana aku mencoba hadir
mencoba mengisi kekosongan
yang ternyata belum ingin kau isi
hati ini selalu menyimpan kenangan akan dirimu
tidak akan pernah kulupa
setidaknya ingatlah akan kenangan ini
bahwa kau pernah mencoba mengenalku
terima kasih
atas segala kepercayaan yang kau berikan
mungkin aku gagal menggunakan kepercayaan itu
maafkan aku yang tak sempurna ini
Selasa, 25 Maret 2008
Dahulu dan Sekarang
tetapi entah kenapa kau menutup diri
kukira aku baru akan mulai mengenalmu
tetapi ternyata ku salah menduga
kau tak pernah membuka hatimu untuk diriku
kukira aku sudah melakukan semuanya
tetapi ternyata semua itu belum cukup
belum cukup menggugah hatimu itu
entah harus bagaimana lagi
tolong katakan padaku
Belahan Jiwa
Tak ada yang bisa sepertimu
Aku disini sendiri berteman sepi
Terpisah jarak kau dan aku
Hanya bayangmu yang menemani
Reff : Kaulah belahan jiwaku
Kaulah curahan hatiku
Kaulah cahaya hidupku
Kaulah segalanya
Rasa itu mungkin akan hadir kembali
Bila kau ada disini temanilah aku lagi
Kaulah belahan jiwaku
Kaulah curahan hatiku
Kaulah cahaya hidupku
dan Kaulah segalanya
Tak’kan pernah terganti
Tak ada yang bisa sepertimu
Tulisan pertama
ketika terjadi cobaan yang sangat berat di dalamnya?
ketika rintangan dan halangan silih berganti?
ketika tidak ada seorang pun yang mengerti
betapa permasalahan kian mendera diri!
Pernahkah engkau mencoba untuk menjalani hidup ini
tanpa merasakan adanya beban di pundak
tanpa mengeluh sedikit pun terucap dari mulut
tanpa harus berhenti untuk berusaha kapan pun
tanpa mengenal kata menyerah!
Mudah untuk diucapkan namun sulit untuk dilakukan
Mudah untuk memberitahu namun sulit merealisasikan
Mudah untuk menghakimi namun sulit menerima kritik
Mudah untuk memaafkan namun sulit untuk melupakan
Ketika hidup masih terus berjalan
Dimanakah hati nurani anda letakkan?
Ketika roda nyawa masih terus menyambung
Dimanakah hati kecil anda bersuara?
