I don't know why but I get a bit interested in poetry nowadays. And this book below is the one I really really want to have. I knew this book from tumblr. I've read some of the poems and I thought " Hey, they're beautiful!" It's not available in all bookstores in Indonesia, and I don't want to buy the kindle or e-book, I just haven't got the time to go to the right bookstore. I guess, owning this book is one of my wishlist in 2014.
This is one of the poem, titled " Just Friends"
I know that I don't own you,
and perhaps I never will,
to my anger when you're with her,
I have no right to feel.
I know that you don't own me
and I shouldn't ask for more;
I shouldn't feel so let down,
all the times when you don't call.
What I feel - I shouldn't show you,
so when you're around I won't;
I know I've no right to feel it -
but it doesn't mean I don't.
And the one above, titled "Broken Hearts" is my favorite.
I know you've lost someone and it hurts. You may have lost them suddenly, unexpectedly. Or perhaps you began losing pieces of them, until one day, there was nothing left. You may have known them all your life or you may have barely known them at all. Either way, it is irrelevant - you cannot control the depth of a wound another soul inflicts upon you.
Which is way I am not here to tell you tomorrow is another day. That sun will go on shining. Or there are plenty of fish in the sea. What I will tell you is this; it's okay to be hurting as much as you are. What you are feeling is not only completely valid but necessary - because it makes you so much more human. And though I can't promise it will get better anytime soon, I can tell you that it will - eventually. For now, all you can do is take your time. Take all the time you need.
