Friends

Filed under: Thoughts

Friends are friends forever
when the Lord’s the Lord of them
and a friend will not say never
cause the welcome will not end

(“Friends” by Michael W. Smith)

I don’t have too many friends. I meet a lot of people, but only a few really become my friends. I just realized that yesterday, when in a camp for Shine Youth in Jogja, an old friend of mine told a story about how he prayed for me to be what I am now.

It’s nice to have friends. But you know what, it’s great to have a friend that actually prays for you, not only mention your name casually, but actually prays for you. Thank you my friend. You wouldn’t believe it if I tell you that you have blessed me so much that day.

So, I have decided to pray for my friends at the end of this day, and this song by Michael W. Smith is a perfect companion.

Friends are friends forever
when the Lord’s the Lord of them
and a friend will not say never
cause the welcome will not end
Thought it’s hard to let you go
but in the Father’s hands we know
that a lifetime is not too long
to live as friends….

You don’t know what it’s like

Ini mungkin puisi cinta,
mungkin ini tentang cinta
yang bertepuk sebelah tangan,
Ini juga mungkin puisi gombal,
mungkin ini hanya roman picisan
anak baru gede..

ketika kutuliskan bahwa kau patahkan hatiku,
membuang muka dan memunggungiku
yang datang kepadamu dengan setangkai mawar merah
yang kupetik dari taman hatiku..

ketika kutuliskan bahwa aku rela mengarungi lautan,
melintasi cakrawala, menjelajahi belantara liar
demi cintaku kepadamu yang bernyala-nyala,
cinta yang lahir dari lubuk hatiku terdalam..

Ini mungkin gombal,
ketika kutuliskan bahwa cintaku
memanggul salibnya dengan berdarah-darah
menyusuri jalanan berbatu nista dan hina
yang keluar dari mulutmu..

Ini mungkin picisan,
ketika kutuliskan bahwa cintaku
meregang nyawa dalam dehidrasi akut,
dirajam terik kebencian dan dengki
yang terlontar dari tanganmu..

Ini mungkin puisi cinta,
mungkin..

You don’t know what it’s like
to love somebody the way I love you…
