there’s a lot of things that cross my mind every time love by wave to earth floats in the air, and there’s a thing also, filled in my mind once my ears start catching the song, and it’s her. it always brings me into the moment, when she sends me those silly-goofy stickers on whatsapp, asking me if i already ate or not, that warmth caring coming from her about my well-being, or even that little smile with top-teeth that sits beautifully on her lips. it totally creates a memory that, i wish, stays forever.

in my eyes, and im being honest, she’s beautiful like love by wave to earth. her beauty is even way better than the song itself. it’s a grace and soothing all at once. i told god that she’s that ‘love’ song indeed.

with her, in every moment we spend, it feels infinitely better than the first time this song filled the air. it’s the way she reaches for my hand, whispering assurances that soothe my soul, and promising that the universe will embrace us kindly. as beautiful as this song, which always stands by our memories, it expresses the essence of love i’ve always hoped for. with each verse, it’s like a reminder, over and over, about how deeply i am in love with her.

That's just the way things go

Jungeun mampu saja lemparkan jutaan kata yang kini malah justru buat lidahnya kelu, yang kini benar-benar bisu dibuatnya. Sekaligus cukup buat Jungeun itu tenggelam dalam pikirannya sendiri.

Jung Jinsoul mungkin hanyalah satu diantara milyaran manusia yang ada di seluruh belahan dunia. Tapi bagi Jungeun, gadis itu adalah seorang pelukis handal yang datang dalam waktu yang singkat di hidup. Bahkan Jungeun masih ingat betul bagaimana Jinsoul selalu sajikan beragam warna untuk isi absensi hari-hari, yang kini bisa Jungeun sebut hanya tinggal memori di buku-buku usang yang masih saja ia genggam.

Jungeun pernah menangis. Jungeun pernah putus asa. Jungeun pernah kutuk seisi bumi atau bahkan semesta. Atau nekat melemparkan dirinya di tengah-tengah padang rumput yang penuh dengan air-air hujan. Tapi yang lebih jelas, Jungeun tak mampu penuhi kedua telinga Jinsoul akan rapalan kata miliknya. Jinsoul lebih pantas mendapatkan sejuta kebaikan.

The thing is, now Jungeun don’t mind what happened between her and Jinsoul anymore. Although Jungeun truly knows that she has a lot to say, simply seeing Jinsoul’s smile alone could lead to the fact that Jinsoul paints another happiest smile on Jungeun’s lips.
