Love Letter On The Sand

Finally, that day comes
I always knew that day would come
I just didn’t expect it to be today

I once had a dream of you
or maybe it was a daydream
dream I could never reach

You were the untouchable
and now you are even invisible
I can do nothing but reminiscing

Aku tak bisa berpikir
tapi buat apa berpikir
toh tak lagi ada yang dipikir

I love that song
the song you sang for me
at my birthday party
that was our song

Apa judulnya? Aku lupa…
Asayake? Ah, ya. Itu dia.

Sekarang aku hanya bisa berangan-angan
menyanyikannya sekali lagi
denganmu, berdua saja.

Now, it’s a twilight solitude
yes, the truth has revealed itself
I’m an explorer no more
everything’s left behind as a history

Eyes of my mind are blinded
by rage, anger, and fury
by envy and jealousy
by overwhelming love, lust, and passion
by joy and pride
of you
it’s something about you

Now that you’re gone
I’ll be missing the days
the days we used to share together

I’m speechless

Tapi toh untuk apa berkata-kata
bila tak ada apa-apa di batok kepalaku
nothing but you

But it doesn’t matter now
the final matter is that
of all the time or at the day of selection
I accept it whole heartedly. And of that, I swear
though you were a treasure to me

No second or even third possibility
you, misty lady, married the fightman
and can’t even gypsy wind, southern breeze, or night breeze
ever wipe that mist of yours
yes, you, the girl from Ipanema

Oh, I just love New York
especially in the mid-manhattan­
such a romantic (but ironic) city
always gives me oriental spirits
there was where I ate the forbidden fruits
once upon a dressy morning

When I was told about Gerty’s dream
I knew it was the omens of love
praise her, everybody! For she’s the man on the moon!

Just call me “Freak Jack”
my time limit is up
I gotta go now. Sayonara.

Yours Lovingly,

Inner child
