Thinking Out Loud, by Ed Sheran : The Most Beautiful Love Song

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

Waktu

Jangan pernah menyandarkan rasa pada waktu, karena ia mempunyai masa kadaluarsanya sendiri.

Barangkali quote tersebutlah yang mampu mewakili hal-hal yang membayangi otakku saat ini. Quote tersebut merupakan kalimat yang paling aku ingat dari buku legendarisnya kak Windy Ariestanty yang berjudul Life Traveler.

Kini, rasa itu berubah. Obsesi untuk menjadi maha hadir di segala acara keren di Jakarta kini telah memudar tak berbekas. Capek, masalah finansial dan fokus kuliah menjadi alasan mendasar mengapa kini aku tak lagi seobsesif dulu. Mungkin juga kini aku sudah lebih dewasa, dan mau tidak mau harus mampu memilah mana yang penting mana yang tidak.

Di satu sisi aku bersyukur, aku sudah tak lagi kecapean seperti dulu, sudah bisa mulai menabung, hubunganku dengan masku jadi makin akrab dan bisa fokus belajar materi kuliah. Tapi di satu sisi kadang sedih juga harus melewatkan begitu saja momen-momen acara yang seru. Sempet kepikiran juga kan mumpung masih di Jakarta. Belum tentu lho tahun dpn masih ada di sini.

But eniwei, everything is fine. Semua ada waktunya masing-masing. Tugas kita hanya mempersiapkan diri untuk menghadapi segala perubahan. Be wise, Arista!
